Fascinating Day Trip through Inca Funerary Ruins - My experience in this archeological site was truly made amazing by my tour guide, Esteban, and skillful driver, Mr. Teo! Our rides were pleasant and smooth, and our visit to Sillustani site was well-led and well-informed. Esteban answered questions I’d never thought of on my own and led us through many typical experiences of the area, such as the rural population’s eating habits, typical ways of preserving food and their very special Coati Coffee. However, the most fascinating aspect of this trip was definitely the Sillustani Site and Esteban truly knew all about it; its structure, supposed rites and way of building funerary sites, not to mention that he also explained to our group the history of the Inca in great chronological detail and that was truly needed!!

Sillustani a site to see - The afternoon was very good. We were lucky with the weather, and the Sillustani site was very interesting. The added stop at a local farm to see local produce and animals was interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The biggest negative was that the group was composed of English and Spanish speakers, and the guide was switching between the two languages, which was confusing. Maybe not run the tour too late, as it did get cold once the sun began to set. Understand that it is winter, but when the sun is out, it is very pleasant.

A very well-organised... - A very well-organised tour and a great way to spend the afternoon. First was a brief stop at the Puno lookout then a stop at a family home near Sillustani (loved the Guinea pigs). Sillustani is beautiful, the knowledgeable guide explained everything and answered all the questions and we had plenty of time to have a look ourselves. The view over the Umayo Lagoon are wonderful, especially late afternoon.

It was a great trip—well... - It was a great trip—well planned, with a knowledgeable and informative tour guide who was fluent in both Spanish and English. We really enjoyed all three stops, each of which was impressive. It’s also worth mentioning that Sillustani had informational signs in both English and Spanish throughout the site, which is not common at many other tourist attractions in Peru. Overall, I would strongly recommend this tour — it was truly worth it!

Get what you want no more no less - This tour takes you to the site and nothing less. We stopped at a spot that lookout over Puno town for 10 mins it was great. We went to Sillustani right after and the guide gave us very good information and history about each towers. We stayed for photos for additional 30 mins or so overall almost 2 hours until sundown.

Guide is wasting time + tourist show stop - Our experience was a bit impacted by not needed time wasting activities, which gave is less time to really enjoy Sillustani. 1. We made a stop in a local family house, offering some food to try. It didn't look very hygienic so I wisely declined. The big aim was ofcourse to buy something from them or leave a tip.. this stop should be completely removed from this excursion. 2. In the complex, which is great, I found the information given by the guide way too long. He was also not explaining the things you saw but was given a whole around story. To illustrate this.. instead of visiting we started sitting on a wall for 35' while the guide was drawing things in the mud. As a consequence our time to really visit the complex was limited and end of daylight already started to arrived. Therefore, I would recommend to or do this trip on your own or pick another agency.
