5A fun experience
Fast, fun, and full of history , this city tour was the perfect intro to Cusco! It wasn’t boring at all, and we even had time to chill and take in the views. Sacsayhuamán at the end, was epic!
5A spectacular day
Sometimes, it’s not about how long a tour is but how deeply it touches you. This half-day in Cusco gave me a window into centuries of culture, conquest, and resilience. The guide's warmth and storytelling made the whole experience feel personal and alive.
3Not a great english guide
We saw many of the important things in Cusco which was great. Prepare for a lot of walking at high altitude, we did this on our first day in Cusco which was a mistake since we had not adjusted to the altitude. What was disapointing was the guide’s english, we went together with a spanish speaking group so he had to say it all in both spanish and english, and it felt like we only got about the third of the information as the spanish speakers did. We did unfortunately had trouble understanding him sometimes.
4The guide was okay, but...
The guide was okay, but they brought me to a souvenir store, it took one hour, and it was just a waste of time, they returned to the city center with one hour delay
5Every corner had a story
Our guide wasn’t just knowledgeable,he was passionate. It felt like we were walking through his memories of the city. From colonial churches to ancient temples, every corner had a story. It’s the kind of tour that stays with you long after it ends.
5Beautiful places and interesting facts
This tour was exactly what we needed to get familiar with Cusco. The group was small, and the guide gave us great cultural context. It’s short but packed with beautiful places and interesting facts.

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.
