Excellent experience with Eco Tours Peru - The archaeological sites are impressive and majestic! I was a little affected by the altitude but nothing that couldn't be fixed with eucalyptus and a pill. It rained a little but the guide was very detailed and took his time for the rest of us to catch up. Highly recommended

SURPRISING CUSCO CITY 100% RECOMMENDED ECO TOUR - Despite the difficulties I had getting to Cusco, it was very rewarding to be received by Eco Tour and on my first day I had the City Tour which I really liked because to begin with it is a very calm tour and the places to visit were really charming and with a lot of history. I went with my family and my little ones had a lot of fun too.

City Tour of Cusco's archaeological sites - Brigit was our guide and she explained everything very well and answered all our questions. We really liked it. The only problem is that the City Tour should be all day, as half a day is too little time to get to know the archaeological sites and be able to calmly explore every corner.
