Day trip to Moray and Salt mines

Lauren_V, Jul 2018
My friend and I booked this tour and it was by far our favorite tour of our trip to Cusco. Our guide took us to all the places listed, gave us the all interesting info, and then let us explore for as long as we wanted to, offered to take photos, pointed out the best views, and answered our dumb and not dumb questions, and gave us time to buy things, it was the best. Totally worth the price for the adventure. Would definitely book this tour again if I go back to Cusco!

The tour was great! It ended up being a personal tour so the guide, Jorge, took us one extra place that ended up being one of our favorites. The salt flats were AMAZING! Jorge was very knowledgeable. Only bad thing was that he was late in picking us up.

Nice places and tour, the only reason why I didnt give 5 stars is because the time spent in both places is a little shorter compared to the driving time
