Do I need to book in advance?

Book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons (June to September) or if you plan to visit popular sites like Machu Picchu after the tour. Reserving early secures your spot and helps you avoid last-minute availability issues, particularly if you’re traveling with a group or following a specific schedule.

Is the tour suitable for children or elderly people?

The Full Day Sacred Valley Tour is suitable for most age groups, but there are some considerations. The tour involves walking and sometimes navigating uneven terrain at archaeological sites, which could be challenging for elderly individuals or those with mobility issues. For young children, the tour may be enjoyable, but it’s important to ensure they can handle the walking and long day. If you have specific needs, check with the tour operator to see if they offer more accessible options or adjust the itinerary to accommodate special requirements.

Will the tour guide speak English?

Yes, the guide will speak English. Our team of guides is trained to provide a complete and comfortable experience for all our travelers, including those who prefer English. If you have any other questions or special requests, feel free to let us know. We’re here to assist you!

Can I customize the tour?

Some tour providers may allow for customized tours if you want to focus on specific sites or add activities, such as a horseback ride or an extended visit to Machu Picchu after the Sacred Valley tour. Custom tours may come at an additional cost, and the operator should be contacted well in advance to make arrangements. If you’re traveling in a group, this could be a great way to tailor the experience to everyone’s preferences.

Is the tour wheelchair accessible?

Yes, our tour is wheelchair accessible. We strive to ensure that all our guests, regardless of mobility, can fully enjoy the experience. The vehicles and some of the sites we visit are equipped to accommodate wheelchairs. However, some locations may have limited accessibility due to their natural terrain or historical structure. Please let us know in advance if you or someone in your group requires special accommodations, and we’ll do our best to make the necessary arrangements.

What happens if it rains?

Rain is possible in the Sacred Valley, especially during the rainy season (from November to March). Tours usually run regardless of the weather, so bringing a rain jacket or poncho will help you stay dry. If heavy rain occurs, some sites may close temporarily for safety, but the guide will adjust the itinerary as needed. To avoid weather-related surprises, check the forecast in advance and ask the provider about contingency plans.

Can I cancel or reschedule my tour?

Most tour providers offer flexible cancellation policies, but the terms can vary. Typically, if you cancel at least 24 to 48 hours before the tour, you can receive a full refund. Some companies may allow rescheduling for a small fee or under specific conditions, so make sure to ask about the cancellation and rescheduling policies when booking.

Is the tour safe?

The full day Sacred Valley tour is generally very safe. The tour guides are well-trained and knowledgeable about the region. They also prioritize your safety and will guide you through the sites. However, as with any adventure in a new place, it’s important to follow the guide’s instructions, stay with the group, and be cautious of uneven terrain. Also, it’s essential to be mindful of the altitude and take it easy if you’re not accustomed to higher elevations.
