Worth doing!! - Excellent service. Punctuality to leave and then in each place. Micro comfortable, super clean. They give you infusions on board, and some more surprises. Lunch delivers, I had better but it's great. The excellent guide!! Super clear, very good English. The terminal in cusco is very close to the center of cusco, walking you arrive. I highly recommend it!! It’s a logically more expensive service than taking a long-distance bug without stopping, but it’s worth it. It's just another excursion, it makes it very enjoyable.

Cusco to Puno - Great guide and stops along the route. I enjoyed the tour and appreciated having the trip broken up. There was also a great buffet lunch provided.

Excellent! - Our positive experience with Inka Express started when we booked the tour in advance over the internet. They were quick to respond and provided full clear answers. The bus was comfortable and clean. They provided each one of us with a snack+fruit+water bottle, as well complimentary coffee/tea throughout the tour. The tour guide, Elizabeth, was very knowledgeable, delivering all information fluently in both English and Spanish. We stopped in 4 points of interest which were all worth the stop. A buffet lunch is also included in the price of the tour, it was the best buffet we had in Pero

Inka Express: Cusco To Puno Journey - Very comfortable bus with reclining seats. Three tours of historic sites. Very interesting places, and the guide provided us with a lot of information. Excellent buffet lunch. Professional guide and driver. We were a couple, but it is suitable for families as well.

Cuzco-Puno Route of the Sun - Excellent service and option to make the trip to Puno, are almost 10 hours of travel that are not felt as it is a trip with various stops and points of interest. I would take it again if I traveled to Puno again

Best way to combine the long trip with 5 stops at interesting sites - Very well run tour. Great to combine the long drive from Puno to Cusco with 5 interesting stops, with a knowledgeable and helpful guide. Having so many breaks made it a pleasant day. Very good buffet lunch. Much better value $50 than the train

Comfortable and interesting experience. - An extremely careful driver and a very dedicated flight attendant (Daniel). He took care of all the passengers, and helped us arrange our arrival in Puno. In addition he guided the tours en route and it was very interesting. Thanks to them 2.

Happy with the tour - The selection of stops was interesting. Details shared by staff were informative and well-timed. Tour is comfortable and suited for all types of visitors. Livorio, or guide, was kind enough to help us with a device we had forgotten on the bus.
