Cusco Tour
Great way to see a lot of what Cusco has to offer, learn about the history of the city and it’s people.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing this! We're glad the half-day gave you a real sense of Cusco, both its history and the people who make the city what it is. The pisco sour class is a nice way to round it off, and we hope it stayed with you.

A fascinating experience between history and Inca mystery
Impressive how the Incas managed to build all those structures in places so difficult to access. The guide explained in detail the different theories and shared many historical data, making us all better able to understand what was happening at that time. An excellent excursion, with clear explanations and a guide always friendly and willing to answer all our questions.
Operator response
¡Mil gracias por compartir tu experiencia con tanto detalle! Saber que las explicaciones lograron transmitir la complejidad de la ingeniería inca y abrir espacio a las distintas teorías que rodean esos sitios es justamente lo que buscamos en cada city tour. Fue un placer enorme acompañarte por Cusco.

There are a lot of extra...
There are a lot of extra charges to each attraction that the tour company did not communicate ahead. The tour guide time pressured us to make decision to purchase tickets because they pair us with another couple who purchased all inclusive tickets.
Operator response

It also clearly indicates that entrance tickets to attractions, travel insurance, and any expenses for inconveniences are not included. Regarding the time pressure, we apologize if this caused any discomfort. Our guides strive to coordinate schedules efficiently, especially in group settings, to ensure a smooth experience for all guests. We truly appreciate your comments and will use them to improve our communication with our travelers. If you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly so we can address them. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

Very reliable
It is a highly recommended agency, very serious, pending all details. Gabriela was the one who guided us during the 5 days of our trip. We also went to Machupichu and Aguas Calientes. The guide of the City Tour, Gabrial was excellent... it was raining and we enjoyed everything in the same way. Machupichu Frank's guide was also excellent. The transfers... everything was very well-organized. I recommend it!!!

Hola Elina, nos alegra muchísimo saber que vivieron una experiencia tan bonita y que Gabriela y Frank hicieron que cada momento fuera especial, ¡incluso bajo la lluvia! Gracias por destacar cada detalle y por recomendarnos con tanto entusiasmo. ¡Un fuerte abrazo desde Cusco! 💚

They don't do what they advertise
I made a reservation for this tour with the option of a guide in Portuguese and with just two days left until the tour, I received the following message from Eco Tour Cusco “Good evening, your reservation is confirmed for June 20th, please keep in mind that the service is bilingual Spanish/English” A complete lack of respect and responsibility. If you don't have the service, then don't advertise, and now, how I resolved the situation at the last minute. Complete nonsense.
Operator response
Hubo un error al momento de la comunicación, cuanto lo siento, los tours grupales siempre salen el bilingue Ingles/español, guía en un idioma especifico como portugues solo se brinda con un servicio privado y usted nos contrato un servicio grupal. De nuevo le pido mil disculpas, tendremos mayor cuidado al momento de comunicarlo.

City Tour of Cusco's archaeological sites
Brigit was our guide and she explained everything very well and answered all our questions. We really liked it. The only problem is that the City Tour should be all day, as half a day is too little time to get to know the archaeological sites and be able to calmly explore every corner.

Excellent experience with Eco Tours Peru
The archaeological sites are impressive and majestic! I was a little affected by the altitude but nothing that couldn't be fixed with eucalyptus and a pill. It rained a little but the guide was very detailed and took his time for the rest of us to catch up. Highly recommended
