Tito was a great guide for a very informative tour of the 4 ruins in Cusco! Definitely recommend this tour. The sites are must-sees if you are visiting Cusco and interested in Incan history, architecture, and/or construction.
At first things seemed to be off to a rough start with our tour time being pushed an hour forward at the last minute. But it turned out all right as our guide, Jose, really took care of us on what turned out to be a private tour. We already had the Cusco pass, so no extra purchase was necessary for us. Jose showed us each site, why it was important to the Inca and how he grew up with each location. The driver Alex was amazing, he navigated all the twists and turns with superior ease and skill. Also they gave us water bottles which was very nice and very much needed.
A excellent way to see the ruins in Cusco. Walter our guide provided the historical context in a fun and informative way. We were lucky to have him as our host!
Amazing tour!! So knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend. Had a great time and learned a lot about the city, people and culture
Jose the guide was very informative regarding the history of the Inka and the sites we visited, and he also shared memories of spending time at the sites with his family as a child. The driver was very smooth driving and just the right amount of aggressive. We enjoyed our tour very much.
Excellent half-day tour. Saw all the sights we needed and still had all afternoon/evening to ourselves. Our guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. Highly recommend!
Excellent service, explanation from the guide, and quality of care. Highly recommended.
This tour was a great way to explore the Inca ruins around Cusco. The sites were fascinating, and the tour provided excellent insight into the history and significance of each location.
A fun way to see the 4 Ruins in Cuzco in half a way from hotel pickup to drop off at the end. Freddy and the driver were very friendly and nice. It was nice to be driven to the major sites and having some free time to roam as well. Freddy helped snap some family photos for us. Thanks.
Nice tour to see all of the near by ruins. Touelr guide was very nice but a bit difficult to understand at times. Easy meet up location. Ends with a visit to feed all the different types of Llamas/Alpacas. We did the tour the day we arrived so I think we were a bit more tired for all the stops. Overall nice guides/tour.
On behalf of the Andes Peru agency, we thank you for your nice comment about the service we have provided. We are very grateful for your visit to our country. Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you in the near future to provide you with better service. Thank you.
