We had a tour with Fredy, it was excellent from start to finish. He was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, very patient and willing to help with any needs visitors may have. We will definitely recommend him to our friends.
We took a tour of the city at noon, but rather than exploring Cusco we went to the outskirts of the city, which was not what we wanted, although the route taken was somewhat interesting.
Fredy bring us all the information about the city and the history about everything, he is nice and have a nice sense of humor, always trying to understand my very bad inglish, and helping me buying things, also was negotiating discounts for me when i was buying clothes and travel souvenirs. 10/10 service and a nice person. Hugs from Brazil.
Quite an unique tour. It was nice to be guided by Fredy a local from the region with an extensive knowledge and understanding and fluency in English. The tour covered some sites in and off the city of Cusco and provided a good information about the people and history. I can totally recommend this while you are acclimatising in Cusco.
A very good introduction to Cusco and its history. The guide explained a lot and made it feel like we were watching a movie. We learnt a lot on this trip which we found to be very useful on the following days of our stay and trip in and around Cusco.
We had a spectacular trip with Minka Peru Expedition. Fredy is a top notch guide with a great experience and a good sense of humor. He helped us a lot from the moment we booked this tour with him. His ideas and tips were very helpful. He covered a lot on this trip which were helpful in our days later as we visited different Incan sites like Machu Picchu and Choquequirao.
I had a pleasant trip with Fredy as my guide. He is very helpful and informative.Cusco city tour was a nice way to see and know the history of the city and Incan empire which was very helpful as I visited different sites including Machu Picchu.
This was a very nice and pleasant experience. Fredy is an excellent guide and knows a lot about the history of Cusco. Everything was ontime and the time we spent visiting each sites was sufficient with no rush. Highly recommended
We highly recommend this tour and specially with Minka Peru. This was the best thing we did as we reached Cusco. It was ver informative, a great introduction to Cusco and Incan culture. This tour helped us a lot on the following days as we travelled around Cusco and spotting different sights where the Incas ruled once. Fredy is a great guide a man with a vast knowledge about the history.
