Perfect way to get from Cusco to Ollantaytambo.
Excellent tour from a knowledgeable guide. He tailored the tour exactly to our requirements. His English skills were very good. Helped get us to the right place in Ollantaytambo to catch the train to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. Recommended.

Great private tour
Yure was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable, attentive, reliable and pleasant and his English was excellent. He took the time to adjust the tour to our needs and interests and made sure we were satisfied with everything. We never once felt rushed or pressured. It was a wonderful day out with him and I would highly recommend him.
Response from the operator: Hello: It was very nice to meet your family!! Thank you for your time Yure

Incredible day!
We had the most incredible day on this private Sacred Valley tour! Our guide, Gilio, picked us up from our hotel in the morning and spent the day taking us to all the most incredible spots in the Sacred Valley. Gilio’s knowledge and enthusiasm were unparalleled, and he was an absolute joy to be around. Gilio’s insights definitely helped me to appreciate what we were seeing even more. I wish we could have spent more time with him! Having a tour guide all to ourselves as opposed to doing a group tour made such a big difference. We moved at our own pace, got to ask lots of questions, and the entire day just felt so much more personal and conversational. He even planned the itinerary in a way that helped us avoid the crowds, which made the day even more special. This was truly a highlight of our trip to Peru. Thank you, Gilio!

Worth it!
Our guide was fantastic which made this a special day all to ourselves. I cannot tell you which was better: Ollantaytambo or Pisac. The demonstration by local weavers was also very personal. The Sacred Valley is a must see and you get to take in the views while you interact and get to know your guide. We've never had a "personal tour" before. It is worth the money and effort to spoil yourself. Be prepared for lots of driving, but the views will make it worth your while. Cusco had a strike which affected local travel and affected our itinerary. This tour company contacted us in advance and worked with us to reschedule while on the ground.
Response from the operator: Hello: We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour Thank you very much for your review and time! Best regards Yure Chavez

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day 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 Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day?
+
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 Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day?
+
Around 2 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 Tour with Pisac Ruins: Private Full-Day 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
