It was a delightful afternoon filled with some treats from the market, a climb up a hill to see a beautiful panoramic of the city and to finally see the 12 cornered stone. We learned about the history of Cusco too. I highly recommend it.
Gaby was simply outstanding. Her depth of information about the local history, people and culture was impressive. We would never have discovered half the treasures (especially in the market) on our own. Plus her kindness and grace, an added bonus, opened doors with area vendors so we could try their wares and hear the stories they wanted to share about them. She was also willing to listen to our preferences and adapt accordingly.
I found my guide at my hotel early and we set off straight away. Excellent local and historical knowledge. Be prepared for a series of very steep sections of the walk.
It was a fantastic tour with a very experienced local guide. I wish I have had written his name. Highly recommend!
My fiance and I booked this trip last minute and we were blown away by the incredible experience we received. Our guide, Coco, was phenomenal. We walked away with not only tons of knowledge about the amazing city of Cusco, but also a new friend! Coco has such a warm and friendly demeanor. He is also incredibly motivated - he truly cared about our experience and wanted to tailor the trip around our interests and questions. Some of best parts of the tour included: - Learning about Inca architecture - it was so interesting to learn about how the Inca people were able to seamlessly assemble giant stones into fortresses. - Coco's in-depth explanation to all of our questions (literally any question we had he had an answer to. He is a walking history book. He has so much passion for what he does!) - Getting to experience the city on our schedule. Because it was just my fiance and I (very small group), Coco took us to many places not even listed on the itinerary. We told him we had already visited the market and he suggested we try some authentic Peruvian food instead. Getting to try traditional Peruvian Picarones (similar to a donut but wayyy better) was incredible. - Getting to take amazing pictures! Coco lead us to extremely scenic spots. He also took so many photos of my fiance and I together. We never even had to ask him. All in all, the tour exceeded our expectations. This tour was the highlight of our time in Peru and we are so happy we stumbled upon Vamos Peru Travel. Thank you Coco and Ruty! -Rachel & Gustav
