City Tour Cusco-Thank you, all beautiful! - I travelled with friends for holidays and we really enjoyed the tour. We loved getting to know downtown Cusco and Sacsayhuamán. The experience was even better thanks to our guide Lisbeth, who was excellent: very professional, friendly and with a lot of useful information that made the tour much more enriching. Thanks for everything!

Don't fall into this trap! - The worst tourist experience in my life. It's 6 hours instead of 4, as advertised. They show you only Incas ruins, no word about the beautiful colonial heritage which attracts all the world to this amazing city.
Six hours of suffering without water, good, good, restrooms. It was so cold. We haven't seen anything interesting.

Horrific torture - We have chosen this tour only because it promises a 4-hour walk in the city of Cusco. Actually, it's a 6-hour tour of the Inca sites where they try to sell you various things. The sites are the same and may interest only people who have never gone to Italy, Greece, Turchia.....
We've waited hours and hours in the cold with no food, no water, no bathroom. At the end of this hellish day, two of us four have fever. They killed us the only day to see Cusco.

Awful experience for us - Very disappointed. We haven't seen anything in Cusco, except the ancient walls in San Domingo Monastery and we weren't allowed to see the pinacoteca, because it's not from the Incas. This tour should be called Incas Heritage. It's very slow and boring, we got cold, hungry and we lost the only opportunity to see Cusco. It was a big error.
