Best tour from Scared Valley

Evena_L, Apr 2026

This was our first tour in Peru! I loved that the tour started in Scared Valley, lower altitude from Cusco. Our guide Mihai, spoke very good English and was super knowledgeable about everything Peru and Inca. From the textile tour to salt mine, we enjoyed every stop on the tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

What an honor to be your first tour in Peru! 💛 Starting in the Sacred Valley really does help with the altitude, right? Mihai is going to be so happy to hear you loved every stop — from the textiles to the salt mines. Thanks for trusting us with day one. Hope the rest of your trip was amazing!

Amazing experience. Very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide with very good English. My teen found it a little boring

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for the honest review! 💛 We’re really glad you had an amazing experience and clicked with your guide — we’ll let them know you appreciated their English and knowledge. And totally fair about your teen. We know history tours aren’t always a hit with every age, so we’re working on more interactive stops to keep the teens engaged too. Appreciate you telling us so we can keep improving!

it really depends on the operator of the tour. We are fortunate to have Highlanding Travel. The guide was very thorough and flexible. Pickup and drop off were prompt and simple. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The guide spoke fluent English and took us to all the vantage points for photos. I highly recommend this tour especially Highlanding Travel.

Mihai was excellent! We had hotel pick up, loved the textiles tour, the moray, and the salt mines! He is very professional and informative.

Wow! What an incredible experience.

Wow! What an incredible experience. We were staying in the Sacred Valley and looking for a tour that would let us explore the surrounding area. Most of the tours I found had Cusco as the starting point, so I was thrilled to find this one that picked us up directly from our hotel. I booked it for the next day for my family of three, and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Mihai picked us up right on time, and we began our day with a visit to the Chinchero community. There, we learned how they process llama wool and use natural ingredients to create beautiful, vibrant dyes. My 8-year-old son especially loved feeding the guinea pigs and interacting with the llamas and alpacas. We even had the chance to purchase some incredible handmade items crafted by the local women. Next, we visited the Salineras (salt mines), where Mihai shared the fascinating history behind them. After that, we explored Moray and learned about the ancient Inca agricultural terraces and how they were used for farming. Mihai wrapped up our day with a stop at a local shop where we sampled various types of salt from the mines. We returned to our hotel feeling enriched, grateful, and full of knowledge. It was truly a memorable and rewarding day for our family.
