My tour with Christian was very well done. It was full of interesting information, we travelled with a toddler so needed a lot of stops and rest in between but he was really adjusting in nature and made sure our experience was the best.
Punctuality, professionalism, and friendliness. How to discover Cusco. Cristian, the driver, and the vehicle were all perfect!!! Highly recommended!!!!
