Very good tour with very good company from Mr HD! - We took the tour to several sides, including Sacred Valley. For our good luck, we had excellent Service by HD guide and company. In addition to the beauty of the places we visited, that HD was our guide was a great plus, because he hails from the region, has a lot of knowledge, and above all has every willingness to answer all doubts and share his culture. In addition his open and cheerful attitude made us all in the group integrate and get along. He was always on the lookout to keep the group close and no one else away. In short, excellent!

Nice shortcut on the Sacred Valley! - We visited the main archaeological sites of the Valley such as Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Muray and the Salineras. We were supposed to visit the Chinchero site as well, but we couldn't in time. Marcos, the guide, was very clear in the explanations and kind in taking pictures of us! The excursion includes a good quality buffet lunch, very rich in choice, and the cost of the ticket to the Salineras. The cost of the ticket for the archaeological sites is not included (70 soles in all, per person).
I would only recommend bringing the departure slightly forward to have the confidence to visit everything. Otherwise, recommended.

Magical moments and perfect family photos throughout the sacred valley - We joined the 2-day Sacred Valley + Machu Picchu tour and it was excellent both days. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable about all the places we visited, and everything went perfectly. On day 1, we took a group tour, and on day 2, we took a private tour with our guide in Machu Picchu, which was excellent. We had great weather, and he helped us take lots of photos. I definitely recommend Andean Road Peru. Everything was coordinated, and the responses to all emails were very detailed and prompt.

An unforgettable adventure through the Sacred Valley among friends - We traveled with Andean Road Peru to the Sacred Valley, the Cusco city tour, the short Inca Trail, and Rainbow Mountain. It was an impressive package, and I must say they are a wonderful travel agency.
They organized everything perfectly and accommodated each member of the group.
During the package, we had very positive experiences on the Cusco city tour and the Sacred Valley. I must say that all of their guides are very friendly and professional. They shared a wealth of local knowledge and showed us history and culture we weren't familiar with. They also took excellent care of us. We felt very safe and in good hands.
100% recommended!

An unforgettable experience - I loved the excursion to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It was an amazing and unique experience. Our guide, he was outstanding. He was always attentive to every detail, passionately explaining the history and culture of the place. Despite not being an expert in trekking, I felt motivated and supported throughout the tour. It was a very memorable experience. Undoubtedly, an excursion I will always remember.

Nice private tour, we... - Nice private tour, we were only 3, so very personalized. Very nice sites visited and we could see much closer, 2 condors in a refuge, really impressive! Several Inca sites visited as well as a buffet dinner that was included in the activity. Excellent buffet, nice variety of dishes, very good choice.
However, to have access to the Inca sites, fitness is required to climb the many stairs to have a breathtaking view of these beautiful sites. Note that altitude is an issue here, much more difficult to walk without being out of breath.
Little downside, there are two entrances not included in this excursion including a pass to Peruvian parks for a day for the joyful sum of 70 soles, we did not expect so expensive!! As well as 20 additional soles for access Salinas de Paras, this is not to be neglected, so be advised.
We also had to have a French-speaking guide and that was not the case. To specify that we had paid an extra to access this French-speaking guide...
We still had a nice excursion with our guide Nico!
Following our surprise at having to pay 70 more soles and our discomfort caused by this, I see that the tour operator changed the description of the tour because it was quite a surprise to find that we had to pay each one 70 additional soles, it is not nothing!!
He even (the tour operator) lowered the price of his tour considerably to our surprise!
We still recommend this activity but be advised, thank you.
