I had an amazing time with Nohemi. She is very knowledgeable of the Inca History and was a pleasure to learn from. Thank you Nohemi! So much!
Fantastic tour for a crash course in Cusco / Inkan culture, history, and major points of interest. Nohemi was incredible and I would highly recommend her as well as this tour to everyone and their mom!
Amazing tour! Nohemi is kind and patient; she answered all our questions. We walked away with a good understanding of Cusco and its history. She really took the time to make sure we understood. I highly recommend this tour!
The private tour was an excellent use of our time in Cusco. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Inka history and culture. The only hiccup was a mixup on the start time given to us being 1 hour earlier than the start time given to our guide.
Cusco is a very walkable city and our guide provided a very informative and engaging experience. He took us past the wall of tourism so we could see the inner parts of the city
Our guide Yeny was fantastic, picked us up from our hotel and walked us around the beautiful town. Her knowledge of the town and history was impressive. Highly recommend the Inca museum with her as guide. She gave us extra details that we would not have gotten on our own. Due to a scheduling conflict on our part we had to shorten the tour, but Yeny was very accommodating and she maximized the time we had together.
Guide was great! Learned a lot of the history of the city. Guide was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. Tailored tour to our interests and desires.
Ali had all the makings of a great guide. He was personable; he adapted to our needs; and, he knew his stuff. He was one of the most knowledgeable guides I’ve ever had. He was above and beyond better than other 3 guides we’ve had this trip. He is worth every penny. I would hire Ali again without hesitation. 5/5
Awesome tour, very detailed! We learned so much about the Inca’s and their gods. The pace was perfect! We even tried some of the local tamale made by local women.
This walking tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Wilber met met us at our hotel early and made sure we had everything we needed for the tour including a rain Poncho as the weather is very unpredictable in Cusco. He was very knowledgeable about the city and all the sites. He asked us what was more important and if we wanted to spend more time in certain spots Vs others so he was very accommodating. We even had time to sir down at a local cafe and enjoy a quick late lunch. I highly recommend doing this tour. 10/10
