Good attention from the guide, helped us quite knowing the route to different stations, I felt very comfortable and confident the guide, I highly recommend anyone who wants to meet, contact the guide, excellent everything.
Everything is very well coordinated, with them you no longer worry about anything, they make your life easier, highly recommended.
It is a very good company, they fulfilled everything for us, the truth is that it is highly recommended, in addition to being punctual and complying 100%, we did my entire trip to Peru with them
We enjoyed very much our experience in Cusco with this agency. We did the Sacred Valley, all archeological sites around Cusco, Palcoyo mountain, Lake Titicaca. Nilo was very nice and helped us with all the activities and explanations about the places. We recommend this agency while in Cusco. Gracias Nilo por todo!
I relied on Cusco Destinations for a half-day tour of Cusco (Sacsayhuaman Fortress, Q'enqo, Puca-Pucara and finally the Tambomachay temple) and a full day visit of the sacred valley (starting from the textile center of Awanacancha, then Pisaq both ruins and market, Ollantaytambo, salt mines of Maras, terraces of Moray, Chinchero). I greatly appreciated the availability and professionalism of Nely, who organized the tours doing everything possible to satisfy our requests and has always been very punctual and precise in his answers. Equally appreciated are the two guided tours, thanks to the guide, Soledad, very well prepared, kind, correct (so to speak, he has never imposed detours towards "friends shops", as guides sometimes do ...), always ready to give explanations and answer questions; she was also very nice and helpful with my 7 year old son, and gave us great advice even for the following days. The driver's service is also excellent, with a comfortable and well-maintained car. Based on my experience, Cusco Destinations is a reliable and excellent tour operator with average prices.
Our driver/guide Nilo was the best! Without him, I would've taken all these amazing sites at face value, and what a waste that would've been! The details he shared about Moray and the Salt Mines blew me away. I was especially impressed with how scientifically advanced a site like Moray is, even by modern standards! He also took us on a highly recommended side trip to the town of Chincherro, where we attended a textile making class where the locals still use all natural dyes and traditional weaving methods to create beautiful blankets and clothing. Take advantage of the helpful guides when visiting Cusco! They will enhance your visit and your admiration for this wonderful place will increase exponentially!
