From Cusco: Moray, Maras Salt Mines & Chinchero Weavers Half-Day

Lisandra_M, May 2026

Great

Both places are very interesting for their uniqueness. They picked me up on time. Good communication from the company. If asked, the guide will stop at a store to buy some snacks since the distances are far. The guide explained the details very well. At the morray you get to walk arround the whole place. Bring water and sunblock. Bathrooms available.

Excursion to Rainbow Mountain Full Day Optional Red Valley

Anonymous, May 2026

This tour is not for everyone, but for tuff only

O yes, the experience was a great, special one, the gide of Tito was perfectly. Even we're was injoy, can't recommend this activity for everyone, a specially for old people's. There's thing, if no sunshine over there you can't to see that beautiful mountains, because it's will covered by clouds, ha ha ha, then thinking twice to choose this activity. Tour operators have to inform well about that activity, not just mind about money receive.

Excursión to Humantay Lake Full Day from Cusco

sherlinanne_y, May 2026

wonderful experience

wilbert was great! he made sure everyone was okay and stayed with members of the group that needed extra help, which in this case was us😅 he never left anyone behind and he gave us enough time up on lake humantay to take pictures and recover before going down. he even took our pictures and sent the ones he took on his phone to the group. the tour was organized and on time, except the pick up wherein they were 35 minutes late. but the free breakfast and lunch were great! provided us color coded hiking sticks so we could tell who was part of our group and who wasnt. overall amazing experience!

Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals

Marta_B, Apr 2026

Wonderful hike with stunning views

Fantastic day, the early wake up is absolutely worth it. You’re one of the first groups on the mountain. We were so lucky and got to see everything, the colourful mountain, glacier, and red valley. Yuri and Vicki were excellent guides, providing lots of fun information and making sure everyone got up the mountain safely.

The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco

Oscar_E, Apr 2026

Best full day tour you can get in Cusco

This was the best tour we have gotten in the whole of Peru and we have come twice already. Our guide Oscar and our driver Don Zenón “The best driver in the whole of Peru” were nothing short of amazing! The tour was absolutely tailored to everything we wanted or needed and they made sure to give us options so that we could pick which ever was a better option based on how tired we were. The place they took us to have lunch was amazing in a beautiful scenery! 100% recommended and if we brought other relatives or friends to Cusco we will take them on this tour. Even make yourself a favor and check their direct contact on the website of EXCLUSIVE INKA TOUR our only regret was not finding them earlier and booking the rest of our tours in Peru with them

We had a wonderful time...

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Edgar and driver Marco was so attentive. They communicated and was exactly on time for the pickup. When we arrived at the ATVs, Edgar made sure that everyone could safely handle the ATV or have them go with a partner. We took motorbikes up and walked to the viewpoint. Such an amazing experience

There are a lot of steps to from Cusco to Machu Pichu and everything was organized fantastically.

Full-Day Excursion to Sacred Valley, Pisac and Ollantaytambo from Cusco

Premkumar_E, Apr 2026

Fantastic Day and Good Food

It was a jam-packed day with 8 stops. The trip was great, and I saw most of the Inca places I wanted to see in one day. Only comment is that it would have been nice to have another 30 minutes at Sacred Valley, otherwise I have nothing to complain. Highly recommended. The tour guide Abel was awesome.

Rainbow Mountain In Quad Bike

Gayle_M, Apr 2026

Enjoyable way of seeing Rainbow Mountain.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time on our quadbike tour. The journey to and from Rainbow Mountain enabled us to see more of Peru. Our guide, Cristian, ensured that we were informed of pick up details before the day and, throughout the excursion, checked that we were coping with the elevation. I recommend this tour to anyone wishing to view Rainbow Mountain.

ATV Tour to Moray Maras and Salt Mines in the Sacred Valley

Marie_R, Mar 2026

The perfect afternoon

With an outstanding guide leading the way, the breathtaking scenery unfolded majestically, and riding tandem on the ATV, I felt invigorated by the adventure and captivated by the opportunity to document our journey. The archaeological sites stood as a testament to the ingenuity of the Incas' sophisticated agricultural practices, making it an unmissable destination for anyone passionate about history and ancient cultures.

ATVs in Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley

Travis_B, Jan 2026

We had a great time. We...

We had a great time. We had Alex as our guide and he was very good. You can either ride 2 per ATV or singles. The Red Valley was beautiful and once you get to the top you have a hike to the Rainbow Mountain which is about an hour at a very slow pace. I’d recommend this to people who are not big hikers but want to go to see these two very cool places.
