Everything was excellent, but what we highlight the most is our guide Henry; his experience and wisdom were evident in everything he told us. He made us understand the whole history perfectly, answered all our questions with patience and friendliness. Later we did more tours with other agencies, but no guide was as good. Thank you very much!!!
¡Muchísimas gracias por su comentario! Nos alegra saber que tuvieron una excelente experiencia y que Henry hizo la diferencia. ¡Esperamos recibirlos nuevamente pronto!
The tour was great, we got to see Inka places which we would not have seen otherwise. We were very amazed, however our Tour guide was not great. He didn’t speak English well and couldn’t answer questions regarding what he tried to explain to us. He couldn’t understand us very well. This was very disappointing! We would recommend to take the Tour, but not with Will our Tour Guide.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour. We apologize for the issue with the guide’s English—your comments help us improve.
Excellent experience with my family, very good service, and the food was very good. The guide Rafael and the driver Jaime were very attentive to everything.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Experience with Kantu Tours in Cusco We had an excellent experience with Kantu Tourism Agency during our excursions on the City Tour of Cusco and the Sacred Valley. From the start, the attention was impeccable. Our guide Jenkins and driver Brian made every moment special. Jenkins took the time to explain everything in detail, always patiently and at our pace, which made us enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. Undoubtedly, warm, professional and very well organized care. We recommend Kantu Tours 100%! 🌄🙌

We loved our 13 days in Peru! Lima to the Amazon, the Amazon to Cusco, Cusco to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu!! Peru is lovely and Kantu helped make the experience seamless and stress-free.
Marco Antonio was our tour guide. Very informative and good energy throughout. Marco Antonio was really interactive and knowledgeable when explaining the history behind the sites. The tours were well laid out for a full day experience, with rest time in between. We got amazing photos thanks to his recommendations for the best spots.

Overall, I’m very glad I did this day trip. The price is unbeatable, and we got to see a ton of special things in just one day. My experience was a bit tainted because the driver couldn’t find me at my pickup time of 6:20am. They said they would call, but I never got one. I sent a message at exactly that time, but it took 15 minutes to get a message back saying they couldn’t find me. Supposedly there was a mistake in the system that lost a digit in my phone number (I saw screen shots so I believe it) but they could have messaged through air bnb. The address I was given for my air bnb that I shared with them doesn’t take you to the entrance of where I was, so I understand why they had a hard time finding me. I only wish the communication had been better/quicker because by the time I was sending them actual map images of where I was standing, they had already left and told me I was too out of the way to pick up and to take a taxi to the first location. I was obviously very upset about this and thought I would have to cancel my day trip. In comes Waldir, who works in customer service for this company. He met me in the square and went WITH ME in a taxi to the first spot (chinchero) to meet up with the group. Not only my that, but he paid for the taxi, and he showed me around the first Inca site because I had missed the beginning of the tour. I’m very appreciative to him for saving my day. He was so kind, professional, and great to chat with. Thank you Waldir! Pros: seeing a lot in one day, great price, lunch buffet was delicious and had tons of options, great views!! Cons: pick up communication, too much focus on taking photos for the whole group (at times felt like an Instagram tour), I would have loved more history and explanations of what we were seeing (there was some, but I’d have liked more!) I don’t think anyone had issues with pick up. It may have just been bad luck for me. FYI the tour is in both Spanish and English, so the guide goes back and forth between languages. This was VERY impressive, but also takes up more time and means explanations are more rushed. All said and done, I don’t regret this tour and had a great time.
Cerefino was our guide. He made us feel so comfortable and came with tons of knowledge! This tour was excellent and we highly recommended it!
