Not a great english guide

We saw many of the important things in Cusco which was great. Prepare for a lot of walking at high altitude, we did this on our first day in Cusco which was a mistake since we had not adjusted to the altitude. What was disapointing was the guide’s english, we went together with a spanish speaking group so he had to say it all in both spanish and english, and it felt like we only got about the third of the information as the spanish speakers did. We did unfortunately had trouble understanding him sometimes.

The guide was okay, but...

The guide was okay, but they brought me to a souvenir store, it took one hour, and it was just a waste of time, they returned to the city center with one hour delay

A fascinating tour

This tour made me slow down and actually see Cusco, not just walk through it. The guide’s passion was contagious, and hearing about how the Incas built their temples beneath colonial churches was fascinating. It’s a short tour with a long-lasting impression.
