    The Sacred Valley is a Must!

    This day trip to the Sacred Valley is a MUST for anyone visiting the Cusco region. I know that Machu Picchu is the main draw, but you are truly denying yourself some amazing experiences if you do not take this tour. We visited Chinchero, which is an amazing site in itself, yet we also were able to see a weaving cooperative and were taught how alpaca wool is dyed. We then saw the jay dropping circular terraces of Moray, the beautiful salt pools of Maras, the majestic and awe-inspiring mountain complex of Ollantaytambo, and the breathtaking terraces at Pisac. Our guide, Frank, was so kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and he made this full day trip seem like it went by in a heartbeat. You truly cannot experience Cusco without this trip!

    Amazing Machu Picchu

    Jacob was an amazing guide for Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. He took great care of my friend and myself. He was very friendly and informative. Wonderful experience culminating in a spectacular sunny morning in Machu Picchu. Highly recommend Flashpacker Connect and special thanks to Jacob, our guide. A lifetime experience!

    Unforgettable Experience in Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Flashpacker Connect

    My daughter and I visited Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu over two picture perfect days in May 2023. We relied on Flashpacker Connect to coordinate the trip and they delivered superbly. We had two guides on two separate days for a private tour of the Sacred Valley on Day 1 with Dalia and Machu Picchu on Day 2 with Jacob. Both Dalia and Jacob were incredibly attentive to our needs, were ready early in the day so we could experience the most out of our trip and provided an incredible amount of history. Thanks to Jacob making sure we got an early start, we were fortunate to see the sunrise over Machu Picchu. Dalia and Jacob were incredibly caring and attentive to our needs. There was a snack basket in the van as we traveled which was a nice touch. This trip could not have been as successful without their expertise and we are thankful for learning much of the area from them. Anyone who books a trip with Dalia and Jacob for the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour will not be disappointed! Many thanks!

    Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Macchu Picchu with the best guide!

    You can't go wrong with booking FlashpackerConnect if only for the quality of their guides! Our guide, Alberto, was the best guide you could ask for. We really lucked out with him and Mario as our driver. Alberto has a ton of knowledge about the Incan Empire and answered our many (many!) questions on our guided tour. He always made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to ensure we were doing okay (the altitude sickness and number of stairs/hills can be challenging!). He was a joy to be around and we were so happy and lucky to have him for our Cusco half day tour, the Sacred Valley tour, AND our Macchu Picchu tour. Bonus - he's an amazing photographer! I highly recommend Berto and Flashpacker if you're looking for amazing and knowledgeable guides and fun tours!

    Incredible experience

    We did the sacred valley plus 1 day and 1 day machu picchu with our guide Jacob and it was an unbelievable experience. Everything was very well organized- it felt like the trip was on autopilot even though Jacob expertly organized every step of the way. Our trip to machu picchu involved waking up early to beat the crowds and wow was it worth it. Jacob was so knowledgeable and added so much depth to our experience. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the experience and went above and beyond to customize the days to our preferences. Jacob may have been a photographer in another life as his videos and portraits of us with machu picchu in the background blew us away. Would highly recommend flashpackers, all employees were very helpful, friendly and professional.

    Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How does Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) compare to similar tours in Cusco?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 52. At $255 it sits above the typical similar option ($50), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 10-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.

    Is Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $255, above the $50 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $255 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 Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) 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 Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour)?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour)?

    +

    Around 6 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 Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) 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), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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.

    What is included in Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour)?

    +

    Included: Partial tourist ticket into the Sacred Valley; Transportation from site to site in the Sacred Valley; Guided service from site to site; Fluent English/ Spanish speaking guide; and Transfer to and from your hotel in Cusco. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 229 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Sacred Valley Plus Tour - 1 Day (Private Tour) if the weather is bad?
