Caution to female travellers
We did two tours with Peru Adventure Trek, which were good. However after finishing our sacred valley tour, I unpacked my bag and found a pair of men’s underwear in it (I am a young woman in my 20s). I had left my bag in the bus all day and not brought it outside (as did many others to store spare belongings etc), so I don’t know how they would have gotten inside unless someone put them in. I had emptied my bag to pack it before the tour, so it definitely got put in the bag during the tour. There was no other similar bag on the bus, and to our knowledge, no person was on the bus unaccompanied at any point during the tour aside from the bus driver, which i find suspicious. I raised my concerns with the company, who did not seem to take this seriously enough considering it would be very improbable to have been from other passengers or the tour guide, as we spent all day with them. They did not seem to hear this concern and seemed to think it would be impossible to confirm who was responsible despite everything. I am very disappointed by the lack of accountability displayed, and feel violated by the proceedings. I would consider the safety of other women joining on this tour given this.
Response from the operator: We sincerely regret that this situation made you feel uncomfortable and violated. We completely understand your concern and take what you have reported seriously. We would like to clarify that the Sacred Valley tour is operated as a shared service, meaning that different passengers travel together throughout the day. Unfortunately, in these circumstances, it can be difficult to determine with certainty who may have had access to the belongings left inside the bus. Regarding our driver, we would like to mention that he has been working with Peru Adventure Trek for more than five years. During all this time, we have never had an incident of this nature or received a similar complaint involving him. Nevertheless, we understand that the circumstances you describe are unusual and that it is difficult for you to understand how this item could have ended up inside your backpack. We have taken note of your concerns and have discussed the situation internally so that we can pay even greater attention to the security and handling of our passengers' belongings. Once again, we sincerely apologize for this experience and appreciate you bringing the matter to our attention. Feedback such as yours allows us to review our procedures and continue improving our service.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley of the Inkas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley of the Inkas cost?
+
Prices start at $64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sacred Valley of the Inkas take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Sacred Valley of the Inkas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley of the Inkas?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sacred Valley of the Inkas suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley of the Inkas?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley of the Inkas start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
