We know very well every place of this tour, since we have been grown in this area and we studied over 3 years to get a guide license. as well, our vehicles have all the permits to operate. We know when and where to go first to avoid the crowds. We want you enjoy the beauty and peace of each place, but some times it is not possible, specially when you want to start and finish in different places, even though, we could fix it managing the starting time. Our tours are PRIVATE, so we are very flexible. We can stay in each place as long as you want, but do not forget that we have to be inside of the last archaeological párk before 4pm. We are honest, it means we are always going to tell you the true about the sites, places to eat, shops, etc. We are no gonna make you waste your time in shopping places, unless you want to get something, we will advice you. You can bring your own snaks or we can stop in a restaurant for lunch, if there is time.

    Perfect Sacred Valley tour

    We had a great full day Sacred Valley tour with Exclusive Inka Tour. Miguel's clear explanations about each site gave us so much insight into the history and culture of Peru. In addition, discussions about daily life in modern Peru, and how some traditions are still followed, gave us a greater understanding of the country and its people. His suggested lunch stop was a restaurant with great food and views, and although popular with tourists on trips it was not the typical sad buffet we've experienced in other countries. Booking the tour directly via their website was easy and efficient too. Highly recommended in every respect.

    Sacred Valley: Chinchero + Ollantaytambo + Maras + Moray

    We booked a private tour and Raul was a fantastic tour guide and provided unforgettable pictures and stories about the culture of the Inkas and Aboriginal people around the Sacred Valley. He accommodated our schedule and allowed us to pick the food places and experiences along the way. He brought historical books and pictures to show us how the Sacred Valley evolved over time. Fantastic experience for a 1 day your and would be great to book with him again!

    Spectacular Trip

    As part of a friend trip to the Galápagos Islands, we started our 3 week trip iwith 5 days n Peru. I wanted mostly to see Machu Picchu but was unprepared for the awe inspiring grandeur we actually experienced. I have traveled and hiked in many parts of the world - including Tanzania, Morocco, Argentina, Chile and Europe. Peru took my breath away. It will forever be one of my all time favorite trips. Our amazing guide Oscar, who exceeded expectations in every possible way, brought to life the people, culture, history, food, and vision for a country that may become the bread basket for the world. One stunning landscape after another and cuisine more beautiful and delicious than you can imagine - fresh, interesting, delicious at every turn. Our time with a shaman was profound, moving and a sacred experience of honoring the Pachamama. We were incredibly cared for at every step of our journey from Cusco, into the Sacred Valley, to Aguas Calientes and to stunning ruins of Machu Picchu. Thank you Oscar! Thank you Peru!

    The most memorable thing about the trip was all the beautiful natural geology and seeing the ruins of Incan innovation. Our guid Oscar was amazing! He was very informative about the Incan culture and various cities in the area, and hilarious to boot! I highly recommend this tour for all ages.

    The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 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 private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero) 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 The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero)?

    +

    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 The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero) 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 The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero)?

    +

    Around 5 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 The best private Sacred Valley tour in Cusco (with Chinchero) 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.

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.
