Excursión to Humantay Lake Full Day from Cusco

YinDickAndy_N, Jun 2026

Incredible value! Amazing guide and unique experience

I was picked up by a nice high top van at 4am outside my hotel. We then travel a couple of hours, have a nice buffet breakfast, and then continue the ride to the trail head. Our guide Heber is amazing. I actually was with him the day prior for Rainbow mountain. Heber explained everything clearly. I chose to ride the horse up, 90 soles. Once I got off the horse, it is a 15 minute hike to the lake. We spent a bit of time alone for pictures, and then the group gathered and Heber gave us some background info of the place, and a nice group picture. We hiked back down, rode to the same restaurant and had a buffet lunch. We had a mechanical issue with our van. But it was quickly sorted out as the company has 3 vans. The group was split and got on the other 2 vans. We rode back to Cusco and got dropped off at the main plaza. The experience is incredible especially when you consider the extremely low price I paid for the tour. Heber forever lol

Colorful Rainbow Mountain was amazing!

I had a great time on Rainbow Mtn. Our guide, John, was very supportive with the high altitude and very knowledgeable about things. Food was delicious and communication was clear as I had to switch groups from 8 am departure to 4 am departure. I'd highly recommend it!

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

Alessandro_P, Jun 2026

Excellent tour all in one day

I had an excellent Sacred Valley tour that was very well organised from start to finish. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, well-prepared, and provided detailed explanations throughout the day, helping us understand the history, culture, and significance of each site we visited. A mention also goes to the driver, who was professional and reliable throughout the journey, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the day. The itinerary is definitely intense, with a lot to see and do in a single day, but if you are short on time, this is the perfect way to experience the highlights of the Sacred Valley. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comprehensive and well-run Sacred Valley experience.

Book it now!

I would do this again in a heart beat! This entire experience was well packaged, seamlessly coordinated and well paced. The host was very warm and friendly and super responsive. There was a slight change to the time on our itinerary and that was communicated well in advance. In any event, that change made the experience even more worthwhile! It was definitely an adrenaline filled tour that made me crave more! We got to rainbow mountain without the difficulty of a hike but still had the opportunity to hike parts of it, if we opted to. I enjoyed myself and would recommend !

Amazing team and Samuel is the best tour guide

Samuel was an amazing tour guide. Pick up was stated to meet at 6:15 at the plaza de armas but per there request we arrived at 6:10z they arrived at 6:20 and a gentleman came to the middle of the square and called our name. We were escorted to a private van. The van was comfortable. We enjoyed all the archeological sites. Perfect way to see many ruins in one day, lunch was at a gorgeous restaurant and we enjoyed the corner outside table.

Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco by Panoramic Train

Anna_T, Jun 2026

Once in a Lifetime!

I had an amazing experience through this tour company going to Machu Picchu! Here are some things to note: it’s going to be a very long day pick up probably around 6 AM and you probably won’t get back until 11 PM or so. The train Machu Picchu often has delayed, so it’s not the company’s fault. The instructions were relatively clear, but there are a lot of logistics. As a solo traveler I just kept eyes on people in my tour group and it was totally fine. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and were accommodating to folks of different abilities. I will warn people that get motion sick that the drive to and from the train station was a little rough. But I took a Dramamine and was OK. Every other tour I went on had similar driving, so I’m pretty sure it’s just the windy roads and the culture. But overall, it was an unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend this company!

Sacred Valley Full Day Tour

Sacred Valley Trip

The trip started at 7:45 with a pickup from our hotel. Went to Pisco to see the Incan site, then went into the town of Pisco to shop. Continued on to Urubomba for a teriffic lunch. Not the standard roadside food, but real kicking great culinary experience. Then went Ollantaytambo to drop off a few of our group at train station and continued to the ruins near train station. Loaded up for return to Cusco, but wait…..one more stop at a really cool textile factory. Got back to hotel around 7:15p. It was a great day. Thank you Clara and our fantastic bus driver.

The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco

Ameeta_H, Jun 2026

Great, efficient way to see the Sacred Valley

It was great getting a private tour of the key sights of the Sacred Valley, our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable. It was so efficient getting from place to place with just us vs having to wait for others on a larger tour, and also having the flexibility to stop when we needed to. Definitely recommend this tour!

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.

Sharon_M, Jan 2026

A beautiful site !

It was an incredible hike with so much to see! It is difficult if you’re not a hiker so I def recommend riding the horse up. The families that rent them are really kind and help guide you up. Our tour guide Joel was amazing and so kind. He consistently checked in on us the whole time to ensure we were having a great time!
