What people are saying about Pisac

Highly recommend this tour for sacred valley. The tour was well organized from the start to finish. Pick-up location, timing, tour plans and drop-off were well communicated. Lunch was good. Our tour guide - Mijael was very knowledgeable, fluent in English and friendly. The roads to moray and maras salt mine wasn't paved and was bumpy. However, the van organized was so comfortable and suspension was good. My husband has a bad back and he had no problems after the whole day tour.

This trip was amazing, carefully arranged, all to the last bit, and the tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable!

perfect tour for those who in a short time want to see some of the most famous places in the Cusco area.
