“This trip was outstanding! As a non Spanish speaking tourist I was immediately put at ease when a representative came the day before the trip and explained the process. Being escorted from my hotel to the tour bus by the tour guide was fantastic. Having someone meeting and my party at the train station to take use to the next location was superb. Both tour guides were outstanding, very personable and knowledgeable about the history and people. I would suggest this trip a thousand times over.”

“What a GREAT 2 days! Roy was a great guide giving us lots of interesting facts and stories about the Colca Valley (One of the best guides I’ve ever had on any tour). Our driver Edgar was also great driving us safely all around the colca valley and to Puno! The scenery is spectacular and you stop at many viewpoints to take in the breath taking views! I would also advise opting for the evening meal and entertainment we had great fun there and enables you to get a good understanding of the Peruvian Culture in the Colca Valley! I very much recommend this tour as a great experience to…”

Walter controlled the time very well, made sure everyone’s needs were met and we have time everything we need to cover and reach our destination on time. There is a lot of walking on the first day but the pace is comfortable even for kids. We had many stops including an amazing buffet lunch! There is an optional add-on for climbing Huayna Picchu. If you can, go for it. The view from up there is fantastic.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 82 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $679

Review of the 2-day Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley tour from Cusco, with Pisac, Ollantaytambo, train travel, hotel, and practical tips.

“The Viagen agents were very supportive and punctual. They texted you to update status of the tour and the plan before the trip and standby for inquiries. In Sacred Valley, i was put in a main Spanish speaking group but Franco the guide translated everything in Eng, only to me. Bus is comfortable- small leg rooms but manageable. Instruction are clear where to go next. For MachuPiccu, I got a private tour (as I book only one month in advance). I decided to start at6am and I got MachuPiccu view without other tourists!”
