Summary:
Thank you to Kimsa Expeditions for organising our private tour of the Sacred Valley which included all the must-see places. Our guide Eder was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, giving us a great insight into Inca history.
The full day tour included Pisac, Salineras de Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. This also included lunch in a fantastic restaurant with amazing surroundings in the valley. Thank you again to Ruben and his team, the Sacred Valley is worth seeing over two days but thankfully they helped organise so we could see what we wanted in the time we had. We would definitely recommend Kimsa Expeditions for tours in and around Cusco.

Summary:
We were my 2 teenage children, a teenage niece and my friends, one of them with her partner, we had a super comfortable hotel stay, we did tours and it was the most wonderful thing I could see in my life. We were delighted, everyone managed to climb the mountain of 7, I could not because I felt that I was short of breath, clearly I was choking, the rescue workers immediately assisted me, put oxygen and looked at all the vital signs. Everything happened very quickly and I recovered soon.
The other excursions were divine, the guides are very professional, humanitarian and super polite, together the entire Kimsa Expedition agency is composed of very trained people and professionals from the head to the head. We'll repeat, this time with the grandchildren tb.
I am very very grateful for having made my tour to Cusco with you. I will never forget that experience of being in Machu Picchu.
Thank you very much for such good attention.
