We had a wonderful day exploring the Sacred Valley with our guide Rene. He explained everything before hand that we were going to see and answered our questions throughout the day. We got to see how llama and alpaca sweaters and other goods are made and try on traditional clothes, then went to several Incan archaeological sites including Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac. Stunning views and lots of fun!
Rene was very knowledgeable and accommodating and really made it an amazing day. I would highly recommend this tour.
