Lovely cultural experiences while travelling from Cusco to Puno - This tour/bus trip from Cusco to Puno was an excellent experience. Our guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information in both Spanish and English. I am so appreciative of this company for including some less know villages and sites that help to support the local communities. The visits made the day enjoyable and we loved seeing the Peruvian countryside. The buffet lunch of Peruvian specialties was delicious.

The best tour in Peru - Excellent trip. It doesn't feel heavy. Comfortable seats. Short stops in time but the trip is getting fun. They gave us very little time in the Stripe. Maybe just add an extra hour of travel to enjoy the stops more... very friendly Elizabeth.

Tour Puno to Cusco - I really liked this tour, we left Puno towards Cusco, making five stops to visit and get to know a little more of the Incas and their customs. The Selma guide did a great job, explained everything very detailed and in a pleasant way, was very friendly and was very aware of everything.

A very good option for travel between Puno and Cuzco - Our guide Selma and driver Neil have been fantastic. Selma’s explanations give a complete overview, not only of the tourist spots, but of Peru’s life in general. In-flight beverage and snack Service and WiFi, comfortable seating and enough and varied buffet lunch to meet all needs.

Visit to Cusco - It is a good experience, the tour is well organized, maybe a little more free time to shop or walk around the places without the guide. Selma the guide very attentive and explained everything very well.

We took this tour from... - We took this tour from Cusco to Puno yesterday, and while parts of it were fine, the overall experience was disappointing. The bus itself was clean and comfortable, but it was a very long day (about 11 hours on the road with limited time at each stop, usually around 30–40 minutes). Most of the site admissions weren’t included, which added another 53 soles per person for fairly brief visits. I didn’t know this when booking. Our guide was friendly and professional, but the commentary felt a bit rehearsed, and there was a lot of emphasis on promoting the company and encouraging souvenir purchases. The lunch was also a letdown. It wasn’t an Andean buffet as advertised, more of a mix of fried dishes, spaghetti, and orange chicken. It didn’t feel authentic, and unfortunately made me feel a bit sick afterward. The scenery was beautiful and it’s a convenient way to get from Cusco to Puno, but between the rushed stops, extra costs, and misleading lunch description, I wouldn’t choose this option again. It’s not a terrible experience, just not what we expected based on the listing.
