Good trip

Moray is an amazing place to visit. No doubt the Inkas were uber smart. The Salt mines were quite interesting. You even get a small bag of salt with your entry fee.
Great experience for learning and sightseeing

We had a great time! Informative tour guide, cool side stops, and good chocolate along the way. We started with Moray and were able to learn about the agricultural habits of the Incas (and those who came before). Additionally, we were able to take a short hike around the site to stretch our legs after a long bus ride. We made a cool side stop to learn a bit about how the Peruvians make their alpaca products. Then on to the salt mines, again to learn about the resourcefulness employed by the people to use their surroundings to produce food product. Great experience, good educational opportunity
Great half day tour to start my Peruvian traveling

I landed in Cusco at 7 am and this was one of the only half day tours that wasn’t in the city. I enjoyed everything about this trip and would recommend it to anyone.
Excellent tour to see some Peru sites

Our tour guide Nora was great! She had a lot of interesting information and was friendly. The tour itself is paced well. It goes to a few different locations like the textile shop, a good view of the potato terraces, the Moray archeological site, and of course the salt terraces / mine. This ended up being one of the most unique places I have every seen. I highly recommend this tour.
Awesome Half Day Option!

This is a great tour to do if you don’t have the time for a full Sacred Valley tour! Our guide, Nora, was so informative and friendly. She was very clear on the schedule and what we would do and see at each stop. Moray and the salt mines at Maras were both so unique and really interesting to learn about! We had an appropriate amount of time at each place and it was a great way to see a few sites.
A great way to see the sights!

コスパ良し

朝も早すぎず、質やコスパも良かったです。ガイドはスペイン語と英語のバイリンガルで説明をしますが、基本的に話の内容がわからなくてもツアーに参加する上では大きな問題になりませんでした。クスコで1日暇な時間がある場合は参加してみてはいかがでしょうか。
