The tour was great and the organisation was immaculate. The driver and guide were very polite, punctual and informative, the process was easy and the tour operator had a briefing call with us to give us all the timings. They also printed out all tickets for us which made every step go smoothly.

I can not say enough positive things to encapsulate how amazing this company is. They were so communicative and helpful for our trip. We started out in Cusco and they did a private pickup to/from the train station. Coordinated our entry tickets and a private guide for Machu Picchu. Carlos was our planner and walked us through every step and answered every question.

Our group of 5 did a one day trip to Machu Picchu with pickup from Sacred Valley and drop off in Cusco. Carlos helped us tremendously in organizing the schedule and all needed tickets, and he checked up on us throughout the day to ensure we didn't have any problems. Carlos was extremely responsive and quick to answer any questions, and made us feel comfortable that the trip would go as planned. Our driver Alex and Machu Picchu tour guide Anibal were also excellent.

Julio from Come See Peru helped us organize an incredible and truly unforgettable trip. I am German and got married in Peru, so I wanted to bring my friends and family to discover how wonderful this country is. Thanks to Julio and his team, everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end. They took care of every detail and made sure everyone felt welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. Even today, my family and friends still talk about the amazing memories they made during this trip. Visiting Machu Picchu is always a unique and magical experience, but being welcomed with such warmth and genuine care made it even more special. The team was always attentive, making sure everyone was happy and felt at home. Thank you, Julio and the entire Come See Peru team, for making this journey so memorable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and caring travel agency in Peru.

I live in Switzerland and organized my wedding in my beloved Peru in April, for which we decided to show our friends and family how incredible and beautiful our country is. Come See Peru was my unconditional support for coordinating activities in Cusco for more than 30 people who were mostly visiting Machu Picchu for the first time. I am left with the happy faces and the beautiful stories from that day. It was simply wonderful. The agency took care of every detail, making it an unparalleled trip. Thanks especially to the excellent coordination of Julio.

We had an incredible experience with Come See Peru on our private Sacred Valley tour. From start to finish, everything was well organized, comfortable, and personalized to our interests.Our driver, Michael, was professional, punctual, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the day as we traveled between sites. Our guide, Albert, was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the Sacred Valley. He brought each location to life with fascinating stories and insights that made the experience even more meaningful.The Sacred Valley is breathtaking, and having a private tour allowed us to explore at our own pace and truly enjoy each stop. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Peru’s history, culture, and beauty. We highly recommend Come See Peru, especially Michael and Albert, to anyone looking for a memorable and personalized experience.

Ollantaytambo is a small town located in the Sacred Valley of Peru, about 72 km (45 miles) northwest of Cusco. Ollantaytambo is well known for its well-preserved Inca ruins, which include the Sun temple and other important sectors.
The fortress of Ollantaytambo was built by the Incas in the 15th century. Ollantaytambo was made of large stones that were quarried from a nearby mountain and transported to the site using a system of ramps and ropes. Discover this amazing place with a local guide who will provide you with the most important facts about this Inca site.
Moray is one of the most unusual and interesting archaeological sites in the valley. It is believed that Moray was once a testing center for agricultural activities which allowed the adaptation of plants at different levels. The ruins of Moray were only recently discovered in the 1990s. Learn more about this mysterious place on one of our tours departing from Urubamba. Contact us for more information.
The Maras Salt Mines are located in the Sacred Valley of Peru, also near the town of Maras, close to Moray ruins. This unique site is a series of small, terraced pools that have been used for salt production since pre-Columbian times.
The Maras Salt Mines are fed by a natural spring that emerges from a nearby mountain. The spring water is channeled into a network of small channels that run through each pool, allowing the water to evaporate and leaving behind salt crystals. The salt is then harvested by hand and sold at local markets.
The pools are maintained by local families, who have been producing salt at the site for generations. The families use a complex system of cooperation to ensure that each pool is filled with the correct amount of water, and that the salt is harvested at the right time.
The Maras Salt Flats are a popular tourist destination, and visitors can tour the site and learn about the traditional salt production methods used by the local families.
Pisac is a small town located in the Sacred Valley of Peru, about 35 kilometers from the city of Cusco. The town is best known for its Inca ruins, which are located on a hill overlooking the town.
The Pisac ruins are a large complex of Inca structures, including agricultural terraces, temples, and residential areas. The site is believed to have been an important center for trade and religious ceremonies during the Inca period.
In addition to the ruins, Pisac is also known for its vibrant market, which takes place every Sunday and attracts visitors from all over the region. The market sells a wide variety of goods, including traditional textiles, jewelry, pottery, and local produce.
