Fascinating Exploration of the Sacred Valley
Our day in the Sacred Valley was a perfect blend of culture, history, and scenic beauty. The organization and communication with the provider after booking were seamless, and our pickup by coach was punctual. Despite a short wait to pick up a few more guests, our tour commenced without delays. The first stop was a viewpoint offering breathtaking views over the valley—an ideal spot for photos. In Pisac, we visited the archaeological site and then strolled through the town, where we had the opportunity to purchase unique souvenirs at the local market. Lunch in Urubamba was another highlight. The charming restaurant served us classic Peruvian dishes. The buffet was plentiful and delicious, and although drinks were an extra charge, the value for money was very good. After lunch, our journey took us to the impressive Inca fortress at Ollantaytambo and later to Chinchero, where we witnessed a fascinating demonstration of alpaca textile production. The opportunity to buy handwoven textiles directly from the producers was an authentic experience. Our guide, Julio, was exceptional; he ensured we were always comfortable and shared his extensive knowledge with enthusiasm. The tour lasted about 11 hours, but despite its length, it was not exhausting, thanks to well-timed breaks and interesting stops. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It not only provides insights into the rich history and culture of the Sacred Valley but also into the modern life of this remarkable region of Peru.

Do not waist your money on this tour.
Not impressed. A lot of driving. Roads are bad. The lunch was in cheap restaurant and very poor taste and quality. I would not recommend to waste a day of your vacation on this one.

Great tour and guide
Went on the Sacred Valley tour - this company was on time, communicated well and in advance to make sure all questions were answered. Our guide was Antonio - he was terrific! Thought we would go to a mediocre place as lunch was included - but it was a delicious lunch. I couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend this company.

Review for this tour
There are many other tours that show double the number of places at half the price. The previous day we had taken the excursion with Grey Line and it was as good and at half the price.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 61. At $138 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 Including Lunch best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 10-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $138, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $138 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 Including Lunch 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 Tour Including Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 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 Including Lunch?
+
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 Including Lunch 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 Tour Including Lunch?
+
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 Tour Including Lunch 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.
