Excellent Service on Tour - I had the opportunity to tour the historic center of Cusco and it was just spectacular. From the beginning, the Guide was very Pro and knowledgeable about Inca history and culture. The Plaza de Armas, with its impressive cathedral and colonial architecture, is simply wonderful. We also visited the Qorikancha, a place full of history, and every corner of the tour was full of fascinating details.
What I liked the most was the combination between the Inca and Spanish heritage that is reflected in every building, street and stone of the place. The Guide made the whole tour enjoyable and gave us time to take pictures and enjoy each space. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the history and magic of Cusco!
