    Two amazing guided tours with Come See Peru

    My almost 80 year old father and I went to Peru in early October 2026. We first did the half day tour of Sacred Valley from Ollaytantambo and had an excellent time. Our tour guide, Willy, was so knowledgeable and both him and the driver were very accommodating with my father's pace (he's in very good shape for his age but still had minor age and altitude related issues). We enjoyed the tour so much, we asked to book a second half day tour with Willy when we came back to Cusco. That tour was also excellent. I highly recommend Come See Peru for guided tours of Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

    One of the best days in Sacred Valley

    Jimmy was deeply knowledgeable, professional and attentive as we explored the Sacred Valley and Pisac ruins. We felt immersed in the history of these beautiful sites as Jimmy patiently explained the significance behind the Incan architecture, traditions and way of life. His passion for Peruvian history and culture was clear, and he made the experience both engaging and seamless for us. Thank you Jimmy!

    Amazing time with Carlos as our guide

    We did a full day tour with Come See Peru and had the best time. Our guide, Carlos, was extremely knowledgeable about each site we visited and really went above and beyond to make sure that we made the most of our time in Peru. Our driver, Cristobal was also very polite and drove safely. I highly recommend Carlos and Come See Peru Tours!

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

    How does Sacred Valley Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo compare to similar tours in Cusco?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 66. At $155 it sits above the typical similar option ($43), 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 Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 7-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Sacred Valley Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $155, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does Sacred Valley Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $155 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 Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo?

    +

    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 Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo?

    +

    Around 11 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sacred Valley Tour From either Urubamba or Ollantaytambo 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.
