The tour was wonderful, our tour guide, Alex, was great, kind, and knowledge about the ruins! Personally the climb up Ollantaytambo was intense but probably cause I am out of shape, once up there the views were gorgeous and worth the mild heart attack! I was with my husband and 7 year old son, and he definitely enjoyed the views. The Alpaca farm was cool and the products are great but it’s definitely meant so you can buy the well made baby alpaca products. I think the prices were great for the garments we got. I kinda of wish we could have spent more time with the native woman that dyes the materials, but that was cut short so they could show us the garments. The Pisac market was big and there were so many things to buy. Alex was also great at telling us about being aware of fakes or low quality products in the markets, the importance or bartering and haggling for the products of up to 30-40 %, which was nice to know! The lunch was good as well.
The views were definitely breathtaking when we made our stop. The return to Cuzco after the tour was great since we took a different path than when we started.
Let me also give a shoutout to our driver on thr tour!
