In general, though, prices have gone up quite a bit, as gas in the valley has gotten very expensive. (Cabbies shut down the whole of Cuzco in protest over gas prices a few months ago.)
Yeah, if the cost differential isn't huge, I'd rather arrange the transport in advance with a recommended driver/guide. If the flyertalk braintrust is limited on this one, I guess I'll hunt the web looking for recommendations. I'm not looking for a fantastic price, I just don't want to pay a silly gringo tour price, and I'd like good service. It may be that Sabino is my best option, and that prices are much higher now.
