9 VIP Experiences in Peru to Build a Day Around

1.Sacred Valley (VIP) – Full Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 71 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $55Our pick

Spend a full day touring the Sacred Valley from Cusco with a bilingual guide, hotel pickup, buffet lunch in Urubamba, and stops at Chinchero, Moray, Maras, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac. The $55 price is appealing, but budget 90 soles more for archaeological sites and the Maras salt mines. Guides may include Irving, Jhonnatan, Richard, or Warner.

“Excellent itinerary. What I didn’t care for was all the push for selling somethings because that definitely made it feel like a tourist trap in some situations. But overall for how much you get to see in a day especially when you’re short on time - amazing!”

4.Sacred Valley VIP Tour with Maras and Moray from Cusco

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $45

This 11-hour group tour from Cusco visits Chinchero, Moray, the Maras salt ponds, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba, and Pisac. An English and Spanish-speaking guide leads the day, with buffet lunch and shared transport included. Bring cash for archaeological entrance fees and expect a fast pace, with up to 18 people in the group.

“We only had one day to see the Sacred Valley so this was a good tour to see a lot in one day. You didn't get to spend much time at each of the sites. It says that you have to pay additional entrance fees in the description, but it would have been helpful to know how much ahead of time, especially since it was cash only. It was 40 soles per person for all the historical sites and then 10 soles for the salt mines. The lunch stop was good - we enjoyed it. It is marketed as a bilingual English and Spanish tour, but I would say it…”
