This Private extra is the most exclusive way to see the valley in a day. A dedicated guide and driver design the route with you, whether you prefer ruins, markets, villages or long lunches. Comfort, flexibility and personal attention are the focus, with a vehicle that can wait while you linger and a guide who adjusts to your pace. It is a tailored alternative to the large group day tours.
Itineraries often include Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero and sometimes Moray or Maras, though they can be reshaped around your interests. Because the tour is private, you can start early to beat crowds, pause for photographs or add a visit to a weaving community. Your guide handles tickets, timings and logistics so that the day runs smoothly.
Lunch is usually at a chosen restaurant, and special requests can be arranged. Check what is covered, from entrance fees to meals and drinks, and share any dietary or mobility needs in advance. The day is long, so wear layers, comfortable shoes and sun protection, and carry water. At altitude, a steady pace helps, and the guide can plan rest stops around your energy.
This programme suits couples, families and small groups who value privacy and personalised service. In the rainy season, from November to March, flexibility helps in dodging showers by adjusting the order of sites. In dry months from May to September, clear skies reward an early start. It is a premium choice, best reserved ahead in busy periods so that your preferred guide and vehicle are available.
Use the flexibility. If a site is crowded, ask to move on and return later; if a village market is lively, linger; if the weather is clear, add a viewpoint. A private guide can also arrange a quiet lunch, a short stop at a weaver, or an early return to your hotel if altitude makes you tired. The aim is a day that feels unhurried and shaped to your own energy, rather than a rush to tick off sights.
