An Unforgettable City Tour with Katia - We took the City Tour with Katia, and it was absolutely excellent. Katia’s passion and deep knowledge of every site we visited made the experience unforgettable. She answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and insight, bringing each location’s rich history to life. Every spot we visited was breathtaking and filled with fascinating stories. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco for the first time — it’s the perfect introduction to the city’s beauty and heritage.

Cusco and Sacred Valley tour Review - Cusco or Qosco is quite wonderful city to visit. A lot of Incan and Peruvian history to know and explore. Ms. Katia is super knowledgeable and very helpful. She knows her stuff very well and understands the history really well. Saqsaywaman and other places around Cusco city along with Sacred valley tour was really good. Good service and extremely helpful staff.

“Best informed of Cusco” - The experience with Mr. Miguel was very good. He explained the Cusco story very well. Although we come to Cusco a lot for living nearby, we learned a lot more with Miguel. Also, good photos for memories.

Highly knowledgeable guide, great personalised service - I would highly recommend the private Cusco City tour. My guide José was excellent, super knowledgeable and fascinating. I learned heaps! We took a bit longer than anticipated, probably because I asked lots of questions, but José was super accomodating, He still explained everything in detail so that I learned everything I wanted to know the different sites. Thanks José and TreXperience!
