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 went on The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco by Exclusive Inka Tour in April, 2026. Our guide, Oscar, picked us up at our Airbnb in Cusco and drove us back there at the end of the day. He was very knowledgeable and took us to all of the Inka sites in the Sacred Valley, including a top notch restaurant for lunch. The Inka sites were impressive but equally impressive was what we learned about Inka history and culture along with how these sites fit in. I highly recommend the tour.

We started this tour with a pick up from our hotel in Cusco and ended at Ollantaytambo station to catch our train to Machu Picchu. Our guide Miguel was excellent. He was friendly and knowledgeable about all of our stops and provided lots of useful information throughout the day. We swapped Pisaq for Chinchero as we finished in Ollantaytambo which worked out perfectly for the time we had. Had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant recommended by Miguel. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high quality private sacred valley tour.

Great private (5 of us) tour around the sacred valley with Oscar. VERY informative and friendly guide. We loved hearing about the history of each place we visited. He was also very kind to make an extra stop to drop off our daughter who did not feel well in the middle of the tour. He can pick up in Cusco or Sacred valley (and drop off in different location as well- just reach out and ask beforehand).

I had the most magical day with Caessr!!! It was just him and I and he showed me all the best spots he tailored, to what I wanted to see. From the ruins to lunch to seeing women dye yarn in the home, everything was social. He is super easy to talk to and I felt like we are friends after the tour ended! One of the best tours I’ve done and I’ve been to over 30 countries. Don’t miss out on this tour!

Oscar is an awesome guide who is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Inka civilization. He drove us safely to all the stunning sights. It was a fantastic day!

Very informative host and easy travel to Olytaytambo area. Oscar was very kind and helpful, and it was exciting to learn about Incan history from him!

Miguel is hands down one of the best tour guides in the Sacred Valley. When I booked the tour, I was mostly excited about taking photos at beautiful places—but Miguel completely changed the experience. His explanations made the history come alive, and I found myself imagining how people lived and built these incredible sites in the past.
He explained how important agriculture was to the Inca, from the mountain terraces that created a greenhouse effect to the perfectly shaped stones that fit together like a puzzle and helped the walls survive earthquakes. Seeing stones that were still unfinished made it even more fascinating.
One thing I really appreciated is that Miguel rearranges the tour order, so we visited famous sites without the crowds. Every stop was peaceful, quiet, and perfect for photos.
Lunch was at a hidden-gem restaurant with an amazing view—and you can even interact with llamas and alpacas! At the salt mines, Miguel explained how the pools produce different types of salt, including white, pink, and brown salt used for skincare.
At Chinchero and Ollantaytambo, his stories about religion, stone colors, and ancient sacrifices added so much meaning to what we were seeing. The massive red stones at the top of Ollantaytambo are just mind-blowing.
This tour was so much more than sightseeing. If you want to truly understand the Sacred Valley, I highly recommend Miguel

Awesome tour with our guide, Raul, who brought all the sights to life with his impressive knowledge of the Inka history and culture. Also, our driver, Juan Carlos, was very safe and courteous on the road and had nice soft folk music playing during the drive. This is an all day tour so have a lunch plan in place. Also, if you take this tour they can drop you off at a different location in the Sacred Valley. Had we realized this earlier we probably would have ended the tour at Ollantaytambo and saved ourselves a separate transport the next day to the train station headed to Machu Picchu.

A beautiful experience! Sacred Valley has one of the most beautiful landscape in the world. Highlight of the trip was spending time feeding Llamas and Alpacas. They were so cute. And of course I have a great guide.
Christopher_T, Oct 2025
Overall best experience I had in Peru. Best Tour Guide Oscar. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Oscar spoke English better than any other guide. You can tell he spends a significant amount of time practicing. The time for each stop was more than enough and well organized.
SongYi_B, Sep 2025
We were with Miguel. We learned so much. He took us to the best restaurant for lunch where you can hang out with alpacas. I also lost my hat in the wind at Maras Salt Mine. And he rescued my hat that flew away. He's the best guide ever. His explanation was so easy to understand and he had a good sensibility knowing nice places to eat and experience.
Michael_S, Sep 2025
What a fantastic tour. Miguel was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient. The tour covers a lot of places, and you get a very comprehensive overview of what the Sacred Valley has to offer. This is the perfect excursion to take if you're staying in Cusco. It's a long day but you see so much, and it's such a luxury to have a private guide for this experience.
Michael_W, Sep 2025
Miguel was amazing. He is so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and we had a lot! He taught us so much. He has an extensive knowledge and made the experience fun and educational. We loved it
Melissa_L, Aug 2025
Jose was an awesome tour guide! He gave us options of what we wanted to skip or see more of. We had a great day seeing Ollantaytambo, Moray, Maras and a great lunch at Mountain View Lodge.
Jess_S, Aug 2025
This was an incredible tour of the Sacred Valley. Ceaser, our guide went above and beyond and was extremely knowledgeable about the sites in the area. We were able to travel at a pace that suited us and therefore learned a lot about the history and significance of the incredible Inca structures. We even made time for a much appreciated coffee stop. Lunch was also incredible as Ceaser took us to Mountsin View which had the most amazing vistas and alpacas you could feed. The whole day was a dream ans I woukd fully recommend.

We had a phenomenal and memorable day thanks to our amazing tour guide Oscar and his team - from pre-trip check in to considerate and thoughtful customisation of our private tour, they really nailed it. We had non-stopped 9 hours of fun learning about Peru, Cusco region, Sacred Valley, Inka and colonial influences. From places we visited, history, culture, cuisine, beverages, resilience, innovation, belief, inclusivity, harmony and respect they share with beautiful Mother Nature and people&challenges surrounding them! The lunch experience was also outstanding and stroke of brilliance, we enjoyed fine local cuisine with memorable Mountain View and petting alpacas and llamas and had fun dressing up!
We regret we did not use Oscar and his team to plan the other tours in the greater Cusco region! They would have aced a tour package for us from Cusco, rainbow mountain, Machu Picchu and sacred valley.

This was the best tour I did in Peru. Cesar was an excellent guide and driver. After many group tours it was fantastic to have a personal private experience of the Sacred Valley. If you’re hesitant please just book this tour! Fabulous!!
KaiWei_C, Jun 2025
This is a whole day's excursion (9am-5.30pm) visiting the four sights. The guide was very very informative and it was most interesting learning about the different sights, Inca history and about Peru from him.
Deniz_S, Jun 2025
It was absolutely a great experience with Cesar and Paolo. We were so happy to have a private tour where we got to ask so many questions to our tour guide Cesar and learn more about the locals and the beautiful history behind this amazing city. He was so passionate to teach us all the history about incas and their culture. Cant recommend enough!! It was such a touching and inspiring tour!!!
Seehack_F, May 2025
Miguel is an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. He is also a great driver as I used him for all transfers over 4 days in Sacred Valley. Cintya is great too making sure I am well taken care of. Thank you very much.
Diana_T, May 2025
Absolutely wonderful day of sightseeing and learning. Miguel is so knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Truly the best tour I have ever been on and I cannot recommend highly enough.
Louise_w, May 2025
Oscar was a great guide who took us round the Sacred Valley in a comfortable vehicle and managed to avoid the crowds for us.
Oscar was very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English.
We would recommend this tour to anyone.
Thank you Oscar for a great day.

Today's private tour with Gorki was truly exceptional! From the moment we set out, Gorki's expertise, passion, and warm personality shone through. We explored the breathtaking Salineras de Maras, marveling at the ancient salt mines' ingenuity.
At Moray, Gorki's insights into the Inca's agricultural genius left me in awe. The Archaeological Park was a treasure trove of history, with Gorki bringing the ruins to life.
Ollantaytambo's majestic fortress and picturesque village stole our hearts, and Gorki's stories of its history and significance were captivating.
Pisac's vibrant market and stunning views were the perfect finale to our tour. Gorki's knowledge and enthusiasm made every moment unforgettable.
I highly recommend Gorki as a tour guide – his dedication to sharing Peru's rich history and culture is inspiring. Thank you, Gorki, for an incredible experience!
Anindya_M, May 2025
Excellent trip and Miguel was a great guide to be with ! He was flexible and friendly! I will definitely suggest this trip !
Peggy_H, Apr 2025
Shout out to our guide Miguel! Born and raised in the Sacred Valley, he has amazing knowledge, hospitality and driving skills. He and two other family members run this small travel business and you’re sure to feel like family on this excursion.
Saranath_N, Apr 2025
Amazing experience today. Oscar was an amazing guide. He was patient and tailored the entire experience. He took us to the best restaurant in the region. Amazing food. Kids loved feeding the Alpacas. This trip is completely worth the cost
Edwin_A, Apr 2025
This was a great private tour. Cesar, the tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Learned a lot about Inca culture, including agricultural practices, social structure, and unique engineering and architecture.
