Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pisac Peru

Travel back in time to the Sacred Valley of the Incas with a day that begins in Pisac. This native town was once where “exchange transactions” took place. In this type of transaction, customers would exchange one good for another instead of using currency. Visit the market of Pisac where you can purchase beautifully crafted products hand-made by the locals.

On Sunday, the main attraction is a mass celebrated in Quechua and conducted in Spanish. It is attended by the mayors and their attendants who play traditional musical instruments called "pututos."

Afterwards, you'll enjoy a typical Peruvian lunch (included in price) before visiting the fortress of Ollantaytambo and its main attraction, the Temple of the Sun. Built using massive stones, each one approximately 12 feet (3.5m) tall, this temple was used as a fortress during the time of the Incan civil war.

Duration: 2 hours

This was a great tour to get a short glimpse of each of these cities. Would definitely recommend if you have limited time in Peru.

Pick up was great, a few minutes early and we got going quickly. Guide was friendly and his English was good. The sites visited were very interesting, especially Ollantaytambo. There was a fair amount of walking and steps (optional). Excessive time was spent on shopping. Website promised seeing the mass in Pisac but we were there to early and could not see it.

It just wasn't very well thought out. Too much time at a market that sells the same junk they sell everywhere and not enough time at Ollantaytambo. Lots of shuffling of tourists to various hotels. Not impressed. Wouldn't waste a day of my vacation on this one.

I took this tour with my 20 year old daughter and we had an awesome time. We had a small group of 6 total. The tour and (especially) guide were very good. The lunch was a very nice surprise at a beautiful hotel. Personally, the only negative was the time spent shopping in Pisac. I'm not much of a shopper. I would recommend this tour.

Honestly was not a good day what so ever. We were picked up early and from the get go didn't seem to start well with our tour guide barely saying a word to us more than hello. After picking up all the passengers in what was quite a hectic manner we set off and again the tour guide barely said a word of welcoming with little dialogue throughout the journey. We arrived at an Alpaca enclosure which was amazing but again the tour guide was pretty terrible with little information and constantly on his phone. Throughout the day we changed coaches/Minibuses at least 5 times it was pretty hard to keep track and each time there was no information as to why. On the way to lunch our coach was pulled over as our driver didn't have a driving license which delayed us by 20 minutes and in all the number of delays throughout the day and just waiting around was ridiculous, with organisation being diabolical. The actual stop offs on the tour and lunch were really good but the lack of organisation was terrible. To top the whole day off after only being able to spend a mere 1 hour at Ollantaytambo the only place where admission fees applied we then set off back and our coach broke down... Would really not recommend this tour was terrible and in total we were out for almost 11 hours with only 3 hours and 45 minutes of actual activities with 1 hour of this having been a lunch stop.
