Awesome tour
Robbie was an amazing guide. He showed us so many wonderful sights and explained everything thoroughly. Well worth the money that we paid. He even added in a stop that was amazing as part of our trip.

Excellent tour with Altitude and a fantastic guide
We had a great experience with Altitude, and Robinson was an excellent guide throughout the whole tour. He was always very informative and explained everything clearly, without ever making the experience feel rushed. One of the things we appreciated most was how well he planned the route to avoid the biggest crowds whenever possible. He also knew exactly where to go for the best views and photo spots, which made a big difference. At no point did we feel hurried. Robinson always gave us enough time to enjoy each place, take photos and simply take everything in. Overall, it was a very enjoyable, relaxed and well-organised tour. We would definitely recommend Altitude, and especially Robinson, to anyone visiting the area.

Cusco
Robinson was an amazing guide and made our trip so much fun! I knew I wanted to see the Sacred Valley, spend time with alpacas, and see the salt flats for the first time. Robinson took the time to explain the history of each place and how the communities work together to keep their traditions alive. He committed to giving us 100% of his energy throughout the day, and my friend and I left with so many great memories. We really appreciated his knowledge, and the time he took to make sure we had a great experience.

Sacred Valley and Llama fun
Our trip was excellent. We got to know a lot about Peru. Robinson (Robbie) is an incredible guide. He shared his knowledge of Peru’s history and culture with great passion. He also told us about Peru’s rich fauna and flora - we were really impressed. We were given some food recommendations too.

Can definitely recommend this company!
I needed to go from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, but wanted to see everything in between, they were so kind to change their itinerary to cater to what I was looking for. So my last day was exactly how I pictured it to be. See the best of the Sacred Valley and still be on time in Cusco to see a bit of the city. Thank you so much Adrian!

Sacred Valley Tour: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Sacred Valley Tour: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 68. At $129 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: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 11-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Sacred Valley Tour: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $129, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Tour: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo take?
+
Plan for about 11 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: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & 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: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Tour: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & Ollantaytambo?
+
Around 8 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley Tour: Maras, Moray, Chincheros & 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.
