Guide was fluent in both Spanish and English and switched back and forth easily. The guide had great stories about the area and was happy to answer additional questions. During the tour, the driver turned up the AC unit, which made it harder to hear the tour guide more towards the back of the bus. Transportation was smooth. If you'd want to get a good overview of different sites in the Sacred Valley, I'd recommend this tour. (The only thing that could be added would be the Salineras de Maras and Moray)

Our tour of the Sacred Valley with Serafino was great - he was super knowledgeable and made sure we kept up a good pace to see lots of things in one day. The tour bus was comfortable and we felt well looked after throughout the day. The lunch stop was a little basic and touristy, but this is to be expected. Just make sure you take snacks if you have any dietary requirements as these were not catered for! The tour stopped at a few local handicraft stores but we didn't feel overly pressured to buy anything and the presentations at these places were interesting to see. Thanks for a great tour!

I did this activity with Elvis and what an extraordinary guide, funny, extremely kind and full of explanations. We made more stops than expected (we fed alpacas in addition, attended the explanations to distinguish the materials in Alpaca, very useful for purchases) it was a full day, one of my favorites in Peru. My expectations were largely exceeded, I really took a real pleasure Thanks to Elvis for this day
