Cusco Ruins Tour - Great tour to get to see all Inca sights in Cusco. Tour actually was closer to 5 hours. Tour prices may not include park and church admission fees. Expect to pay an estimated 140 soles more if your tour does not include admission fees.

Informative and captivating tours - We really liked the tour, especially the attention of our guide Gilmar, who had a very interesting way of narrating his knowledge of each place we visited. We highly recommend it to visit and learn!

Great way to see Cusco - We had just arrived in Cusco and this was a great way to quickly see the main sights. The guide was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain both the culture and the history of Cusco

It's All An Experience :) - Rommel had a lot of knowledge and you could feel the passion for what he does. He was able to share a lot of incredible information about some of the ruins in Cusco as well as Cusco itself. We saw several sights that I wouldn't have seen without this tour! A few things I would adjust going forward is booking English speaking tours and Spanish speaking tours separately. It would save time and likely end the tour at the 3.5 hour mark rather than 4 or 4.5. While I love the convenience of being picked up at my hotel, I would also say to have a main meeting point in the main Cusco square for easier pick up and to ensure the tour starts on time. That being said Rommel was very professional given all the beginning setbacks we had and I was very impressed.

Good but not great - A good tour, but not a great tour. It went on a little too long and it was annoying that we needed to buy tickets to each site. The best price of the tour worthy Baca and Temple of the sun in Cusco and the first two archaeological sites above Cusco. Could’ve stopped there and would’ve been great.

Felt like an infomercial - The sites selected were nice, but not what was advertised and we would have preferred an honest approach when we were being carted to purchase from his friends.

Not a great experience - We were very disappointed in this experience. Apparently they forgot to pick us up for the tour. We had to use our hotel concierge and they realized they had left us and brought the taxi to the second part of the tour. No apologies were made. The tour guide was OK but not extremely informative. we were actually overall very disappointed. Ended up leaving the tour early because we felt like it lasted too long for the amount of information we were gathering. Sorry we would not recommend.

Never got picked up as promised - Unbelievable that I would be asked for a review as we were promised to be picked up at our hotel for a 1:00 for a paid tour. We tried to contact the “tour operator” on our ticket but no one ever responded. The hotel desk also tried to call. Very disappointed. Will not likely trust Viator again. I have asked for a refund . Will see how that will be handled
