The Sacred Valley was stunning and the visit to Machu Picchu was breathtaking. The tour provided enough time to explore the various sites and learn about the history and culture of the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the Inca culture and visiting the amazing sites in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
