Pisac is most known for its Incan ruins and large market every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, an event which attracts heavy tourist traffic from nearby Cusco.

We had a great trip to Machu Picchu booked with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a private tour, which I highly recommend for this important site. Karina and Brian worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us. They are flexible and will plan the trip that you want. Prior to the trip they sent the itinerary so we knew what we were going to do. We were met at the airport, even though out flight was very late, and driven to our hotel in the sacred valley that used to be a hacienda. Our guide for the sacred valley and Cusco was Rina, and we felt we saw and learned so much about the Incas. Our guide for Machu Picchu was Alex. He met with us the night before we were going to Machu to tell us what to bring, what not to bring, and what to expect. He met us at our hotel on Machu Picchu morning to walk to the bus with us. He explained so much about the Incas and Machu Pichu. He helped us with our photos and suggested good places to take photos. It was so great to have a private tour. We spent two more days touring with Rina ending in Cusco. We were offered one more activity to end our tour and we chose a cooking class. That was a riot because the chef spoke Spanish but the restaurant provided a someone to translate for us. The food was delicious. Our driver picked us up at 4:30AM for our vert early flight to Santiago, Chile. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We loved Peru and we were totally satisfied with Cusco Unique Experience.

Valentin conducted a Zoom tour of Cusco for our group in Chicago. Simply using an i-phone (remarkably good images), he was able to tell us about the history and culture of Cusco. He was very easy to understand even while walking and identifying points of interest. We hope that he will do more virtual tours.

We used View Peru to book a private Inca trail camping trip. Unfortunately we could not make it because of COVID-19. However, they were really helpful and responsive in giving us back our deposit unlike a lot of big companies who are still keeping us hanging. They were very professional through out the process of both booking and refunding. We were really excited to do this trip with them. Whenever, we are able to make this Peru trip, we will definitely use them.

Adolfo is the most attentive guide you will ever have in any vacation. The World Explorer crew was available to us 24/7 via phone and Whatsapp so it was always easy to communicate. The tours where very organized and on time. The guides where extremely helpful when it came to explaining but also had a lot of patience when it came to waiting for the group to take their photos. The food offered in the tours is delicious and clean. The prices were amazing, even if you are to sign up for a private tour i doubt you could find something cheaper of the same quality anywhere. There are many things to do in Cuzco, from the sacred valley, to the salt mines, the city tour, the rainbow mountain, Machu Picchu and many other activities. If you want a full complete tour, look no further than world explorers.

Took this tour on one of our last days in Cusco. We were guided by Solange and had an incredible experience! Each place was explained in great detail I and throughout the trip, she answered each question we had. Sacred Valley is beautiful and each place has such an interesting story to tell. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed one of the most magical days of our two weeks in Peru after we employed Inka's Connection to take us to Kinsa Cocha, high (14,000 feet) mountain lakes near Pisac. Benjamin expertly drove us back and forth from our Cusco hotel. Rolando was our guide. He took us first to his home, where his wife and mother showered us with flower petals and gave us coca tea, intended to make our walking easier. As we walked, Rolando stopped often so that we could catch our breath and he could answer our many questions about life in this rather remote area. The hike is not hard, some little ups and downs, but the difficulty is that all of it is at 14,000 feet. At the end of our hike, we returned to his home, where we had an excellent hot lunch, met his youngest (5 month old) daughter and had the opportunity to purchase some of his wife's weaving. Very few tourists come to Kinsa Cocha, which preserves its traditional way of life. A very special day which we will always treasure. Thanks to Anzony Sanchez at Inka's Connection, who made it happen.

You will start your tour in Chinchero, which was one of the most important populations during the Inca empire. However, it was victim of the extirpation of idolatries, action that replaced the traditional deities by Catholic ones, in order to transform popular beliefs. Then visit Maras, an impressive complex of salt mining. They are large deposits of salt used for exchange for other products with other regions of the empire. On the other hand, the archaeological site of Moray consists of mysterious concentric circular terraces that for some investigators would be an agricultural research center. Free time for lunch and then visit Ollantaytambo, a typical example of urban planning of the Incas. The archaeological complex called fortress although it was a tambo, a resting and lodging place for long distance travellers. Finally visit the citadel of Pisac. The market has dozens of stalls displaying and selling goods crafted by residents of the area. After the visit return to your hotel.
Inclusions: Pickup and drop-off, Professional bilingual tour guide (Spanish and English)., Touristic transportation., Admission to Maras.
Exclusions: Gratuities, Personal expenses, Cusco Tourist ticket - BTC, Lunch.
Truly recommend this trip to everyone who is fed up with the modern consumption world. A magic spiritual place, very well organised tour from the very first minute, starts from picking up from your hotel, till last one. The guide who accompanied us - MARCO, was very helpful, incredibly knowledgeable and prepared to answer every single question we had, regarding not only Maccu Picchu but also about Peru history, traditions and culture. This add a lot of additional value to our trip. About the place and the feelings that it brought is difficult to write, they need to be experienced individually.

After a 10 day Traveling adventure with a group through another traveling group, my friend and I opted for a private tour of Rainbow Mountain! Unfortunately it snowed on the day we reserved our tour; however it was one of our most enjoyable days due to the kindness of our guide Richard. He was very informative regarding the history and culture of the area and people. We were able to see some beautiful sites on the way to and home. We met some local folks, stopped by a lovely place to eat Los Cabanas and have coffee. The food was awesome!! Richard took some beautiful photos and was patient with us when we wanted to stop to view some sights/alpacas!! The time with Cusco Holiday Peru Servicios Turisticos was one of our most favorite and memorable!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and adventure!!
