The tour was very organized; the historic sites along the circuit were absolutely stunning. The pictures online do it no justice. The experience and price point were very appealing. The guide narrated the tour seamlessly between Spanish and English. The double decker bus was clean and spacious offering spectacular views at every stop. The temperature drops quickly in the evening and the inside was nice and warm with ample seating. If you find yourself in Cusco, please book. You will enjoy yourself.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us, we removed several seats for you to go comfortable, the cleanliness characterizes us, as well as the disinfection with quaternary ammonium stayed with us since COVID-19. Our guides are well able to share with you our story, of which we are proud. We are Cusco Open Tour, the only orange buses in the city of Cusco.
I enjoyed this tour style. Each stop was cultivated well and exactly as described. I would have changed the meet up and pick up location; seems easier to keep the location the same instead of asking guests to walk an additional 1-2 blocks.
Thanks for your comment, As you can see, we only have a few minutes to board the bus, and for that we have to be together. We cannot wait at the bus stop, because other companies also use that place. Our guides are well trained. we are Cusco Open Tour, the only orange buses in the city of Cusco.
I booked this tour last minute and I was not disappointed. I didn't know how I was going to feel with the altitude on day 2 of arriving in Cusco. So I booked the morning of the trip. Excellent explanation of the capital of Inca reign.
Thank you, this is the best tour, which you can take in the city of Cusco, while acclimatizing, sitting from the bus you can enjoy the best views,
Unexpected lovely mountain tour. It was more than just a city tour. Really got in touch with the culture. Between the street corn with queso, the upfront experience with the Christo and the shaman, and the lama and alpacas. It was an absolute pleasure. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it's the best we can show our visitors, the traditional, the majestic nature of our living culture.
We were told to sit upstairs even though it was very cold and rainy. The guide was difficult to understand in English. We also met at a pick up spot, then had to walk to a different spot to meet others, then walked a little around the plaza and then walked another 3 blocks to meet the bus. Several of the items in the itinerary were skipped without explanation including the market, mural, and Qorikancha. Lastly, we were unexpectedly taken to a local Shaman for a blessing, which was very interesting to witness but this made some members of our group uncomfortable.
We are very sorry, we only sell the seats at the top. The ones on the first level are free, for people who want to rest.
Easy booking. Price reasonable, tour was very informative.
Thank you for your comment, our tour is cultural with very good information regarding our history and the most important places in our city.
This was a wonderful exploration of Cusco. You find out more "real" stuff about the city and the history of it, as well as the culture, the history, the significant places, and the deep spiritual side of the people who live here now, and before. Our guide, Paolo, was terrific!
Thank you, for your comment, you consider us, as a business card for all our visitors.
Absolutely fantastic value for money, would highly recommend. Only issue I had was, due to being outside, I found it quite difficult to hear Paulo, especially when moving. Would be a great idea if they could introduce headphones or a leaflet to explain what was being said. That said, it was still a great tour.
Thanks for the suggestion, we are improving our service every day, to your satisfaction.
Pleasantly surprised, the bus in excellent condition and the Tourist Guide described each fact in a pleasant and precise way capturing our attention easily. A super complete tour, included a very interesting Coca Leaf Ritual. 10 out of 10!!
Gracias por compartir su experiencia, nuestra misión es clara, estamos para brindarle un servicio de primer nivel.
A friendly guide who spoke three languages! Fantastic! A nice round and good opportunities to take beautiful photos of both the city and several ancient monuments. A nice ritual with coca leaves too, and the thunder rumbled over us just as we had our ritual just made things even better. Bad roads and bad weather are not the organizer's fault and should never pull down the grade.
Thank you, for your comment, our mission is clear, we are here to provide you with a first class service, despite the difficulties of the weather and the roads.
