Wonderful city of Cuzco - The city of Cuzco is really very beautiful with cobblestone streets full of palaces and homes from the time of the Spanish conquest that are beautiful and the square of arms of Cuzco is the most beautiful I have ever seen is never worth staying several days to visit the whole city

Beautiful sights with the perfect guide. - We had the sweetest and most wonderful guide. As we toured Spanish cathedrals and Incan ruins, she described each breathtaking sight with enthusiasm, humor, and panache. She gasped “A guardian!” at the sight of an Andean thrush near a sacred cave. You can’t fake that level of excitement, and you can’t help but feel it yourself when you see it on display. I’m so grateful for this experience, and you will be, too!

Our Guide was deeply... - Our Guide was deeply knowledgeable, with strong ideas even about some of the more controversial aspects of Incan culture and engineering. Her should know; he's a descendent! His presentation was incredibly lively and engaging, even riveting; a master storyteller.

Fantastic Tour, Excellent Guide!!! You will learn a lot! - I had an excellent tour of the city and the immediate outskirts (Sacsahuayman) and I cannot say enough about the thorough knowledge of my guide. I was working on a very particular project and he immediately tailored my tour to fit my interests. An exceptional experience!!

This tour was a perfect... - This tour was a perfect way to explore the areas around Cusco beyond the city center. The pacing was just right—not rushed at all—with several well-timed stops that gave us a deeper appreciation of the region. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience engaging for everyone in the group. We had a nice mix of travelers, including a small child, and the team was very accommodating to all ages and needs. It really felt like a personalized and thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a well-organized and enriching half-day adventure in Cusco!

Great Tour overall - The highlight of the day for us was going to Sascayhuman where the mysteries of those massive blocks that are intricately carved and placed together just takes your breath away. The place has a wonderful air of calm and spirituality.

Nothing special - Guia Felipe is excellent to tell the stories of the locals, but unfortunately arrived quite late and the last points of the tour were passed to run, to make it worse we were already without time and still stopped in a place that was not on the program just because it is a point of sale... should better manage the time.

Very dissatisfied - I did not know that I also had to buy additional tickets for the tour. On the day of the tour I received a text telling me in order to join the tour I need to spend an additional 290 soles. So all in all I paid $98.00 to this company and another 290 soles for the tour. I am demanding a refund. Because I ended up walking to the tour destination. Nobody picked us up per the 98 dollar cost.
