An experience you shouldn’t miss
I went to Pisac with Ruben. He clearly explained the history of the Pisac. We went on a less touristic route and had a unique insider experience. He speaks very good English and we chat a lot on different things.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for writing a review. It was nice to share the sites of Peru with you. We appreciate your business and kind review.

Extraordinary tour with an extraordinary guide
We were looking for a private tour so that we could walk and enjoy at our own pace, with a knowledgeable guide. Our guide Juan and his driver Raul delivered all that and more! We never felt uncomfortable or pushed. Juan answered all of our questions with patience and humor. Last minute changes? Not a problem! Everything was seen to efficiently, and communication with the Amazing Andean team was clear and prompt. Thanks for a WONDERFUL trip!!
Response from the operator: Ladies, It was great to spend the time with you and share in your Andean Adventure. I am so glad you enjoyed your trip and I appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We know it is important to be flexible, organized and to communicate the best as we can. I thank you for your business and hope to hear from you again sometime in the future.

Fabulous private tour for 10 of Sacred Valley!
We had the most fabulous trip with Amazing Andean Adventures!! They were recommended by a friend who had also had a great trip. From the beginning they worked closely with us in planning the trip we wanted. Juan was very flexible with ideas and changes and (many questions!) as they came up. Once we got to Cusco, our time with Danny was unparalleled. We had 3 adults and 7 children ranging from 11-17. He kept all of us entertained and engaged with his obvious love of his country and culture. He had so much knowledge! Our afternoon visit to Machu Picchu was incredible! We got lucky with the weather and crowd timing was perfect. He was fun and flexible with changes on the fly as we needed with a big group. Our hotels were top notch and our group bus was even equipped with a bathroom which was a necessity!
Response from the operator: Thank you my friend for the nice review. We certainly enjoyed our time with both your families. With a group your size, it was good that we started the planning early to make sure we were able to get the accommodations you wanted and all the preparations to ensure a magical experience for everyone, adults and children a like. We appreciate your business and again thank you for taking the time to write a review. Please do not hesitate to contact us in the future, or to recommend us to anyone who may want to travel to Peru sometime.

Fabulous tour. I had a car, driver...
<p>Fabulous tour. I had a car, driver and guide for the day, and could choose what types of places I wished to visit. Nothing was too much trouble, and I learnt such a lot from a full day with a local.</p>

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only cost?
+
Prices start at $105 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 Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only?
+
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 Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley Private Tour from Cusco, Guide and Driver only 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.
