Great Guide and Driver – Highly Recommended
Javier and our driver (I can’t remember his name) were excellent, and I can highly recommend both of them. Every time we got back into the car, the driver had cleaned the inside of the car. These are the small things that make a big difference. Javier was a wonderful guide — informative, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The only criticism I have is with the people at two of the stops. The first was when we stopped at the chocolate and salt-tasting shop. The ladies had a wonderful display, and we had an informative tasting and explanation of the different flavours of chocolate, as well as the different salts and seasoning salts. However, there was an expectation that we would purchase their products afterwards, which made us feel rather uncomfortable. We had the same experience at the weaving place.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review, Candice! We are so glad to hear that Javier and our driver, Edgard, took such great care of you and that those small details made a positive difference in your trip. We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the stops at the chocolate, salt, and weaving workshops. We always aim for these cultural visits to be educational and enjoyable, so we will be sharing your comments directly with the local hosts to ensure their demonstrations remain welcoming and completely pressure-free for our guests. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Peru!

Ancient Wonders & Unforgettable Guides... Tours Worth Every Moment!
Cusco Native was exceptional, and Leidy in particular was absolutely outstanding. She went above and beyond to organise multiple tours for me, and every single one ran perfectly. Her communication was clear, fast, and incredibly helpful, and the entire experience felt seamless from start to finish. I would 100% book through Leidy again, her professionalism, care, and attention to detail made my time in Cusco unforgettable.
Response from the operator: We’re so happy to hear you had such a memorable experience exploring Cusco with us! It means a lot to know that the tours ran smoothly and that everything felt seamless from start to finish. Our team always strives to provide organized, personalized, and unforgettable experiences, so your words truly motivate us. We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in Peru in the future!

Wonderful experience
We had a fantastic experience overall and truly enjoyed our trip through the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cusco. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and included some very special activities that made the journey unforgettable. The transportation and drivers were outstanding throughout the trip — always punctual, professional, and attentive, which made a big difference given the distances and early starts. One of the absolute highlights for us was the Pachamanca experience, which was deeply moving, authentic, and incredibly memorable. It was without a doubt one of the most special moments of the entire journey. The landscapes, cultural visits, and overall structure of the tour allowed us to experience the region in a meaningful and enriching way. Despite some unexpected external circumstances during the trip, we still came away with wonderful memories and a very positive impression. We would absolutely recommend this experience to other travelers and would be happy to travel with this team again in the future.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very glad you enjoyed the itinerary, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cusco, and that the Pachamanca experience stood out for you. It’s also great to hear our drivers and transportation made the trip comfortable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be happy to travel with you again in the future!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco 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 The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco?
+
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 The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco 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 The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco 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.
What is included in The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco?
+
Included: Lunch; Professional Bilingual Guide; Round-Trip Transportation; and 24/7 Assistance from Our Team. Not included: Travel insurance (Recommended); and Cusco Tourist Ticket. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 275 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is The Best of the Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
