What are people saying about Sacred Valley of the Incas

Fun way to see Sacred Valley
Well organised and great value for money. The tour operator made sure that we were comfortable driving an ATV before we set out on our track. He was knowledgeable about the sites we visited and gave us time to purchase souvenirs and take photos. The ATV riding was lots of fun and I always felt like my safety was a priority. The price of the tour has been adjusted well to accomodate for the fact that there are other costs to be paid on the day.

Great ATV tour
The tour guides paid foremost attention to safety which in my eye is essential for a quad tour. Loved the visits and information that was provided. Absolutely recommend

The visit to Sacred...
The visit to Sacred Valley is a must. I gave a 4-star review only because our guide’s English was very primitive. The vehicle was nice, clean and air conditioned.

Fun and Relaxed Tour
Our guide, Maik, went above and beyond! He made a stop at a pharmacy for a tour member who had altitude sickness. He made extra stops at local chicherias (local breweries). He was very knowledgeable of all the sites and we didn't feel rushed. Very relaxed and fun tour!
