Great half-day tour - Very nice 5-hour tour of the important sites in and around Cusco. Adriel was an amazing passionate guide and gave us much more than we expected. Also the price was cheap (please note however it does not include entrance fees to sites) Highly recommended.

Knowledgeable and passionate guide - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Inca history and culture. His energy was infectious. He gave adequate time for pictures and explanations of the historic sites. I felt safe and included as a solo female traveler.

Amazing! - The tour begins after lunch at the Plaza de Armas (group meeting point, which is small) and the first stop is at the Cusco Cathedral. Our Guide Jim was amazing, he is a history teacher and gave us a lot of valuable information about regional art and culture, as well as knowing a lot about Brazil and providing us with interesting parallels to better understand the information. This first part of the tour is done on foot and the locations are close to each other, it was a little cold but with a lot of sun, I suggest wearing a hat and sunscreen. The second part of the tour is to archaeological sites a little further away, so we went in a van, we visited Saqsaywaman, Puka Pukara, Tambomachay and Q’enqo. It is a charming tour, with lots of information and amazing visuals! On the way we still stop at a shop to know the works with alpaca wool (with the right to feed the lamas and alpaca) and a tea to warm up. It is important to emphasize that most of the tour is in open places and if the day is sunny you need to protect yourself with a hat and sunscreen. But it is also important to carry cold blouses, especially windshields, as they are high places where they sell a lot and can make cold. Taking advantage to recommend our driver on the day, unfortunately do not remember his name, but was extremely careful in driving and kind with us. I highly recommend the Trips Operator Machu Picchu, all the tours and guides were excellent, always very organized and quiet. I would also like to recommend the Guide Christian, who welcomed us at the hotel and took us for a walk through the historic center of Cusco, gave us excellent indications of restaurants, shops and city tours and speaks very well Portuguese (as well as all the agency guides).

A city tour that is worth it! True cultural tour in Cusco. - Guide Fernando with extensive knowledge of the Inca culture and the Spanish colonial era. Highlight of the tour was the visit to the head of the Puma.

City Tour - 10/2024 - The Guide Daniel took us to the city tour through the city of Cusco and was very cool and nice. It took us to the main sights including the San Pedro market. The last point of the visit was on the street where on the wall made of stone you can see the Puma and the serpent (Sacred Symbols). In the afternoon we were with the Guide David where we visited three churches in the Plaza de Armas, unfortunately can not take pictures, then we went to Coricancha (Temple of the Sun) and Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park which was amazing! A prime of the engineering of the Inca people.

Good not Great - I am glad I took the tour although it should have been 4-5 hours, not 6. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and sights but it tended to be repetitive.

Tour of Cusco with excellent guides!! - We made the tour of Cusco with the help of our guides Cristian and Fred, very attentive, explaining the history of all the sights. They helped tb drive the wheelchair finding the best paths. The rating was not higher because the tour company did not own a suitable van, despite offering a Wheelchair Vacation Package, requiring the help of guides to enter the Van, putting employees and customer at risk.
