It is the best way to get to know Cusco in a guided, practical and complete way. The guide gave some very good explanations. The price is very fair and accessible. Complied with schedules and itinerary. It was best to participate in the ritual of offering to Mother Earth.

I arrived in the city and went to look for this tour, because as the first day, it is good for air conditioning. Guide in Spanish and English. Many friendly! Panoramic tour, but stop for photographs from afar. I loved it so much!
Somos muito gratos por nos escolher.
There could not have been any better introduction to Inkas and history of Cusco than this tour. Joel was my guide and spoke fluent English and was very conversant. The trip showed me many places in the city and on its outskirts. Certainly the best way to spend the time while acclimatising.
