Highlights
Visiting the City Tour in Cusco is one of the best ways to get to know the city because in a few hours it gives you a clear view of the most important things about its history, culture and architectural grandeur. It’s not just a sightseeing tour: it’s a “living class” of Inca and colonial history. The main reason it is so recommended is that it connects two worlds that coexist in Cusco: the Inca legacy and the Spanish colonial influence. In a single half day you understand how the city evolved and why it is considered the “Archaeological Capital of America”.

5Great tour, poor communication
Luis was a great guide, and we learned a lot on our city tour! The pace was good and we had ample time in each site for explanations and photos. My main complaint was the communication beforehand - I'd emailed the tour company 2 months prior to ask for meet-up details that I never received. The day before the tour, I messaged them on Whatsapp and never heard back. The morning of, I called their office and still didn't get through. About 10 minutes after our scheduled start time, I got a phone call from the guide asking where we were. We were able to rush over to the main plaza, where a staff member met us and led us to the first site to meet the rest of the tour group. So, while the rest of the tour itself ended up being great, I'm not sure why it was so hard to get ahold of the tour company or why they never sent me details in advance.
4It was good tour overall...
It was good tour overall and the tour guide was very good. Only issue was not have proper pick up point.
5Great 1/2 day trip to get a feel for Cusco and The Inkas.
Saw lots of key sites in a short amount of time, yet did not feel hurried, and got a good feel for each site. Our guide, Samuel, was informative, fun, and managed a pretty big group very well.
5Good tour
This was a pretty informative tour if you’re not in Cusco and you have some hours to spare, I say to it especially if your schedule is packed and you have bigger things to do other day. This is the perfect half day trip.
5Best of Cusco
Everything was organised and smooth, the guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. Highly recommend if you are interested in Incas history.
3Just ok
This tour was a bit underwhelming for me. The tour guide was friendly. The description of the tour said hotel pickup was an option so I reached out to the company but never heard anything back. The female assistant acted like she had an attitude because I was 4 min late. We also stopped at a tourist trap merchandise store that could have been omitted from the tour.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
