Best of the best. We just spoke on the phone. - Review for Oskar
Our trip to Peru would be completely different if we would not meet Oscar and Cynthia. We surely pre-booked our tours in Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and around Cusco. We booked with different guides considering the distance between these places. And… we met Oscar. The rest of the trip was easy. We canceled our bookings with other agencies and spent 4 days together with Oscar.
He is very knowledgeable and professional; gentle and understanding; has great sense of humor; and he LOVES Peru and he is PROUD of his country very much.
It is hard to predict the future, however if we make another trip to Peru instead of sitting in the brutal cold in New York, it will be very easy planning: Airplane tickets, hotels bookings and Oscar!
Not sure what to add to this review. I believe we can call Oscar a friend at this point. It just clicked for us.
Sincerely,
Oleg and Katherine.

Miguel Made the Sacred Valley Come Alive - 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.

Best way to see Sacred Valley - 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! ... - 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.

Amazing Sacred Valley tour - We had an incredible Sacred Valley tour, and our guide Oscar made it even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the whole day fun and relaxed. He even recommended a perfect local spot for lunch that ended up being one of our favorite meals in Peru. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! You won’t regret it.

Amazing Sacred Valley tour - My daugther and I had an amazing day touring the Sacred Valley with Exclusive Inca Tours. Our guide and driver Miguel was so knowledgeable about the sites and the whole area. He suggested an itinerary and listened to our requests. He even paced the stair climbing stopping every now and then for a rest and interesting stories and information. He brought us to a restaurant for lunch with breathtaking views, delicious local entrees and Llamas and Alpacas to feed. We couldn’t have had a better day! Thank you Miguel

Not to be missed - Fabulous day with Miguel de Exclusive Inca Tour. We started with the visit of the Fortress and town of Ollantaytambo, then we left to Moray the Inca agricultural laboratory, the saltworks of Maras and to finish the “summer” palace of Chinchero. -Grace. Miguel’s knowledge and love of sharing have taught us the Inca story but above all all all all all these technologies developed by the Incas. Fabulous, unforgettable day that we warmly recommend

Very insightful tour - Miguel was extremely knowledgeable about the Incan history and culture at every archaeological site. Our visit would probably not have been as memorable without the insight Miguel provided. He also gave us great info on the surrounding areas in the Sacred Valley and Peru in general, both historically, with current events and everyday life. He was very accommodating to our needs, bringing us to a great breakfast and lunch location as well as adjusting the tour to end at Ollantaytambo to drop us off at the train station to Machu Picchu. If you only have a few days in the Sacred Valley, this tour is a great way to get the most experiences out of your visit.
