Population see tourists as a running bank branch. For example, taxi to hotel costs 6 sol one to two correct taxi drivers make it others just try to pull you off. Keep 10 sol some ask for 15 sol. Airport hotel 50 sol paid return 11 sol 5 times so they have lost weight. Restaurants overpriced scoop of ice cream 5 euros Go to Market Cola with ice 3 euros. I was also in Lima since population is correctly more cordial than in cusco In lima they buy what without asking how much they make their hand with change on the take what they need rest they return In cusco has population blood licked They don't see people in them, they see bills. A country two faces. Well, what they don't realize is that fewer and fewer tourists are coming. Everyone shares their experiences. Lima population class 1 Cusco population class 10 Even tour companies offer different prices for the same attraction. Who wants to see stones and ruins You're welcome. I went through recommendations totally regretted.
Hallo 213b_lenta, Vielen Dank für Ihre Gedanken! Wir sind kein Eisverkäufer, wir bieten keine Taxis an und wir sind auch kein Restaurant. Wir sind ein Reisebüro, das Rundgänge durch die Stadt Cusco anbietet. Sie haben einen Fehler gemacht, indem Sie Ihre Beschwerden an die falsche Agentur weitergeleitet haben. In unserem Reservierungssystem finden wir weder ihre Namen, noch ist ihre E-Mail-Adresse in unserem System registriert. Wenn Sie, wie Sie sagen, wirklich ein bewusster Mensch sind, müssen Sie diesen Fehler von unserer Empfehlungsseite löschen. Wir freuen uns darauf, wie Sie sich wie ein echter Mensch verhalten. Wir haben es nicht verdient, die gleiche Meinung zu haben, die Sie über eine ganze Stadt hatten. Grüße,
Daniel was excellent and very knowledgeable. He could answer all our detailed questions and even went 2 hours longer than we expected because he was so passionate about his city he wanted to show us everything!
Excellent walk. In two hours we got to see a lot of Cusco. We passed through small, very picturesque streets that we would not have known alone. The Guide was very friendly, very patient, as we went with children.
This tour was great. We walked Cusco’s monuments and history with great views of the city, as well as cool local hangouts. Walking a city like Cusco which has a lot to show in it’s center is much better than being shuttled in a bus. I felt that it was a “real” experience, and I strongly recommend it,
Great walking tour of Cusco. Finally a tour focussing on Cusco city itself and it's history and life nowadays. Our guide was amazing, helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a lot of background information.

We joined a 2-hour tour to explore the city that was shaped like a Puma and the capital of the Incas. Our guide surprised us with very historical data about the city of Qosqo and we explored the traditional Inca streets, and the San Pedro market, which was very interesting with its very traditional local people. Endless thanks to guide Juan for sharing his knowledge!
