Super guide with very good detailed knowledge - Our guide Jose, who speaks very good English, convinced us with his very good detailed knowledge. A very nice personable guy with whom we could also exchange very well about everyday life in Peru. Also our minibus and driver was very good.

Amazing! - The guide Jose is very attentive. The tour is very complete and very worth it. I definitely recommend it to everyone who goes to Cusco. Get to know the Inca culture closely with people who understand history is indescribable.

Tour Beyond My Expectations - I booked this tour as a filler day between two major tours, not really expecting much—just a way to pass the time while learning a bit about Cusco. To my surprise, the experience exceeded every expectation! Tito, our guide, made us feel welcome from the very beginning. He explained every site clearly, answered all our questions, and kept us laughing with his endless jokes along the way. Definitely a tour to remember!

Excellent Tour Guide plus Driver = Great experience - Overall a fantastic experience. Easy communication with pick up, and right on time. The whole itinerary was explained first by Jose my wonderful tour guide, and the driving left to the capable and professional driver Christian. At each site I had plenty of time to explore while Jose explained the importance of each site , along with many interesting details. He was also very patient with all my questions, which I really appreciated. It was super helpful to be driven by a knowledgeable driver and not have to worry about all the traffic etc…would definitely recommend.

No city tour! - The tour itself is fine, but the problem is the name: City tour... you will not see anything of the city! you start on foot, Cathedral and Qorikancha. No explanation about the beautiful square and the rest of the center! Then you are put in a car and you go to the ruins.. no explanation about the city and there is really something more to see and tell about it! Furthermore, it is not advisable to join a mixed (international) group as a foreign speaker (not Spanish) because the explanation in Spanish is many times more extensive than in English!!
