What's included in the all-inclusive price?

Hotel pickup from Cusco, guided visits to all five sites (alpaca farm, Mirador Taray, Pisac ruins and market, Ollantaytambo, and Chinchero), lunch in Urubamba, and weaving demonstrations. Entry fees to archaeological sites are typically included; confirm with the operator.

How much walking and climbing is involved?

Expect 3–4 hours of walking total, spread across the day. Pisac and Ollantaytambo involve climbing stairs and steep paths at high altitude (9,000–11,000 ft). The pace is moderate, but fitness level matters—altitude can affect some visitors.

Is this suitable for visitors with limited Spanish?

Yes—tours are guided in English. The cultural demonstrations (weaving, market interactions) are visual and hands-on, so language barriers are minimal.

Comfortable walking shoes, layers (warm days, cool mornings/evenings), sun protection, water, camera, and a light jacket. Avoid heavy luggage; you'll be moving between sites frequently.

How long is the tour and what time does it start?

It's a full-day tour lasting approximately 10–12 hours from hotel pickup. Early morning departure (typically 6–7 AM) allows maximum daylight for exploration and photography.

Can I do this tour if I arrive the day before and am concerned about altitude?

Yes, but spend at least one night in Cusco (2,430 m / 7,970 ft) beforehand to acclimate. The Sacred Valley sits lower (around 2,800–3,600 m), so altitude is slightly easier. Drink water, avoid heavy alcohol, and consider coca tea on arrival day.

our guide Priya had so many stories and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Handy if youre short on time, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

our guide Yuki couldnt do enough for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
