What a wonderful trip. I have been to countries all over the world but Peru and its Sacred Valley are overwhelmingly one of the most beautiful places I have ever had a privilege to travel through. My guide and driver were very professional. They could answer all my questions. They were very kind. I was having trouble climbing and they helped me all the way. That is the mark of a truly perfect tour guide. I was overwhelmed by all I saw. We even came upon avalanches of rock over and over on the road and our driver handled the car so professionally so we could get out safely. I thank these guys for everything and for giving me a wonderful experience.

Our tour guide Jimmy & his driver picked us up from our hotel. It was a wonderful experience, but be prepared for alot of driving on rugged terrain between each stop. Lunch is not included, so be sure to take snacks & water, or buy some whenever you get a chance. You may also want to bring a light rain jacket just in case.
There were very few restroom breaks, and you should take your own toliet paper & hand sanitizer. The areas are rustic & remote. Overall, we recommend this tour to all who are interested in Incan history and culture.
