We loved the tour. It was very complete. Good organization. The guide was very attentive at all times and demonstrated extensive knowledge of the city and its history. Highly recommended.
The care at the agency was great, the first day of tour with our guide Cristian patient eh clear information, Wilson as driver always watching each of us. Highly recommended.
Nos alegra muchísimo saber que la atención desde la agencia cumplió con tus expectativas. Cristian siempre se esfuerza por brindar paciencia y claridad en cada explicación, y Wilson es un conductor muy dedicado y atento. Gracias por destacar a ambos y por recomendarnos ampliamente. ¡Será un placer recibirlos de nuevo en futuras aventuras con Kantu!
Our guide, Rafa, very nice, patient, friendly, explained very well, the places we went are amazing, the van comfortable.
We had the tour with Bruce and it was excellent detail. We had little time and managed to take us to all the points of interest. Super recommended!
Half-day tour to know all the history, foundation and formation of the city, historic buildings and Catholic churches, then visit the market of San Pedro full of traditions, fabrics, crafts and very good food, all cheaper than in other resorts. Finally we walk down long stone stairs to enjoy the beauty of San Blas and a panoramic viewpoint. Alejandro excellent Guide handles many historical data, explains very well in Spanish and English. Finally he took us to the Inca museum in front of the Joy Square. Highly recommended, an excellent experience.
The trip to the rainbow mountain was well organized, but first of all I have to praise the incredible Yesica, who took care of the whole group and supported us at all times. Thanks to the wonderful Yesica
I had I beautiful half day with Waldir's team. He support me for anything and the guide Jose was super! See you soon again!
We visited the most important places in the sacred valley with a guide who handled the information very well.
There was a bit of miscommunication during pick up, as we were picked up late due. The guy who picked us up, didnt really say anything to us besides confirm what our name was then he just started walking. We assumed he just wanted us to follow. He got us in a taxi and then we got off to continue walking. It would have been nice to have a little explanation as to what was happening. My husband and I dont speak Spanish, but we have been using Google Translate so we could have understood him if he made an effort to at least talk to us (even in Spanish). Eventually we got together with the rest of the group. The rest of the tour went well. Our tour guide, Romolo was full of knowledge. He is a professor who taught about the history of Peru so that was amazing to hear all the knowledge he had to share. I did feel like we missed out a little because he was explaining things in Spanish to the Spanish speaking part of the group that he didnt translate to English. We booked for an English tour, but we had a mixture of both English & Spanish. So just be aware that your tour will not be solely in English and that you might miss some info if its not completely translated. It was a fast paced tour, due to having a lot of places included in the itinerary. It was fun tho!
We chose Kantu because we had already booked them for Machu Picchu. This was a tour with around eleven people. You visit two sites in Cusco, then various archeological sites outside town. It’s a good introduction to Inca culture. Some of the out-of-town sites are a) high b) cold, and c) possibly windy. So dress appropriately, and remember you will have to walk a bit, which can be tiring at altitude. As long as you do remember all this, you will have a great time.
