Beautiful experience, the history and culture were very interesting
Our guide was exceptional. He led us with all tours and kept us informed of the schedule as well as the history. Best of all he steered us away from cheap souvenirs and led us to the real stuff.
Walter was an excellent tour guide and the same can be said if Mr. Charles's driving. The tour was well paced and informative without being overwhelming.
Great half Day tour, perfecto introducción of inca history
Wear a hat and put on sunscreen. Bring a snack. Bottled water is included and they offer it at every moment.
A lovely four hour tour of the Inca ruins around Cusco. We were in a small van with only four people. Our tour guide Jose was wonderful as was our expert driver Alex.
Very knowledge guide who explained a lot about the ruins and the history as well and pointing out unique features you would not have known if you went by yourself.
Amazing and fascinating places in Cusco. Our guide was very friendly and the company still provides water at will and toilet paper for places where the bathrooms do not possess. Very nice!
