Cusco : Bus panoramico per Puno con pranzo a buffet

Well organised. Great Guide Eilo. All 3 stops were interesting. Punctual. Clean bus Lunch was amazing

The guide was very informative about the route and the sites we visited. The buffet lunch was excellent. The bus transportation including pick up and drop off at hotels was very well organized.

The bus was comfortable and the stops made it go by quickly. We were picked up at 7am. What I appreciated was everyone was picked up separately by taxi and transferred to the bus (instead of the bus picking up people one at a time and wasting your time). What I didn’t like was the owner talking your head off for an hour at the beginning of the ride to sell you some dumb map. Also, the guide was annoying - talked non stop the whole ride except for the last hour where he ‘let us’ take a nap. He had good info but kept repeating himself over and over again and repeating everything in English and Spanish multiple times. You couldn’t enjoy the scenery because he insisted on talking and making you listen - calling you out if you weren’t paying attention.

The company turns the bus transportation to a tour. So we can transfer to Puno from Cusco and also able to visit couple archology sites on the way of the bus transfer. Maria was our tour guide. She always brought happiness to the participants. She provided detailed information of each site in both English and Spanish. The bus reached Puno on time and the connection to the hotel had no issues.

We had a great day. We were picked up at our hotel in Puno. The journey was smooth and interesting. The guide was good. Raqchi is an impressive place, and the church of Andahuaylillas a must-see. The buffet lunch was excellent, including the restaurant with stunning views. Once in Cusco, a transfer took us to our hotel. The only disappointing thing is that we were not taken to the centre of Pukara nor the Museo Litico de Pukara but to the 'Museo arqueologico de Pucara' by the bus service station.

This was a total upside surprise! While we expected some stops on our way to Cusco, the quality of the tour was way above what we expected from the Expedia website. Our guide had a solid command of English and was absolutely faithful in giving equally complete English explanations even though the majority of guests were Spanish speaking. The small museum at the beginning of the tour included a number a high- quality exhibits, and our guide’s discussion brought a lot of perspective to what we were seeing. We stopped at what might be considered as a cloister for the “chosen” Inca girls who were taken from their villages to serve the interests of the Inca; it was a different perspective than we gained from other parts of our visit to Peru. Again, the guide thoroughly enriched the visit. Lunch was great. Later, we visited a small church which had wall-to-wall murals that showed how the church tried to reach out to the indigenous population; it was quite different from other churches that we saw in Peru. Again, the guide made the difference. And he kept everything on time!

Very comfortable seats and headrests, reclining also have USB ports to use to charge your devices. Unfortunately no hot/cold drinks available to purchase on board as advertised; but this didn’t cause any issue as we stopped off every 1.5-2hours on the journey. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, you are able to purchase a map of Puno and Lake Titicaca on board the bus (10 soles) and this has some interesting information about the history and the route which the bus is taking. Lunch was buffet style, very tasty & at a gorgeous restaurant with live music performers and a garden with a waterfall. This is a very long journey (approx 11 hours) but is a really good way to travel from Cusco to Puno as the stops allow you to visit more places as well as break up the journey a bit. Wifi on board worked but was very limited due to the areas that we were travelling through - do not rely on this Wifi for you trip, make sure to download something to watch.

A very good experience. Communication with the company was very good, hotel pick up convenient. The bus was comfortable , our guide informative, the lunch stop was in a pleasant location with great variety buffet and the attractions taken in along the way were very interesting.

The operater Fredi has gone exture length to arrange our pickup and drop off location with out extra charge. Very impressed tour and tour company. Thanks

The tour was nice and we went to 5 places on the way. However, it would have been better if we has just 1 language speaking guide in order to grasp better. Also some time was lost for local shopping stops. The church, the temple, the view point, lunch and museum were v.nice. It would have been great too if they had stopped at the Puma view point which was on the way to Puno too. But overall all was great and the buses were very comfortable.
