This is not worth it. We did not stop on any stops along the route. We did not stop at Sillustani on the way back. The guide was excellent but this tour is not worth your time.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the service of our guide. Regarding the itinerary, kindly note that the stops mentioned (such as Sillustani) were not included in the program. On this route, the scheduled stops are mainly at La Raya Pass, restrooms, or for coffee upon request, as time is limited on a day tour. Additional visits would require more time and would extend beyond a one-day service. This activity is designed primarily to explore Lake Titicaca, which is the main focus of the tour. We sincerely apologize if this was not fully clear in advance, and please rest assured that our team always does its best to provide the most complete and enjoyable experience possible.
Our trip to Lake Titicaca from Cusco was great. Long car ride 6 hours one way. but with the visit to see the Uros island and how the people live. Richard our guide and driver was great. We had a good lunch in a restaurant in Puño before heading back to cucso. Overall the day was long but worth it. Would have like to see more of the beautiful lake, only saw the part where the Uros lived. Also would have been nice to cross lake to the Bolivia side. Kind of felt like we had to buy something from the Uros people when they gave their presentation.
What an incredible experience!! My husband and I had limited time and wanted to squeeze this into our packed schedule, and we’re so glad we did. Our guide Richard was excellent and picked us up from our hotel in Cusco at 5am. Yes, it was a very long drive all the way to Lake Titicaca, but completely worth it. We had exclusive time with the locals on Uros Island, a private boat tour on Lake Titicaca, and even got to dress up in their traditional dresses! And of course, Richard took wonderful photos of us the entire trip, and also did a fantastic job on the long drives back and forth from Cusco. It took the whole day, but we are so happy with this unique experience and cannot recommend it enough!
Incredible guide, super attentive! Tour was also incredible, incredible landscapes, incredible stories, incredible monuments! The best tour in Cusco!
Great day out. Timing perfect. Jose the perfect combination of fun and knowledgeable. People on the islands super friendly and really good at crafts. Save some money for knitted goods!
Very kind and nice review.
We knew when we booked this, that it was a long day. We found out later there was an easier way to do this with a flight from Cusco to Puno which is would suggest! It was a great day and the trip was amazing people friendly. The food was great and we love dressing up in costumes.
Thank you very much for those nice words. I am very proud to offer you the travel experience. which is your reason for traveling. For me it will always be my passion and pleasure to be able to share my knowledge and my time with the visitors, showing them the best of my country. I have enjoyed your pleasant company on the trip and the excursion. I thank you in advance for your comments, which makes me think about continuing to grow as a company and as a Tourism Professional. always willing to offer a pleasant experience to our Visitors
It is a very large and beautiful lake, you can travel on top of the boat if you want, likewise the visit to the island of the Uros is highly recommended, as they are very friendly, one can enter their homes and share with them.
Muchas Gracias por su comentario y opinion, de hecho el lago titicaca es muy impresionante y su cultura muy ancestral. reconocidos por preservar la culture por medio de los UROS, los flotantes del gran Lago. espero hayan quedado satisfechos con el servicio brindado durante su excursión en el Lago Titicaca. lo mejor...
