Highly knowledgeable guide, great personalised service - I would highly recommend the private Cusco City tour. My guide José was excellent, super knowledgeable and fascinating. I learned heaps! We took a bit longer than anticipated, probably because I asked lots of questions, but José was super accomodating, He still explained everything in detail so that I learned everything I wanted to know the different sites. Thanks José and TreXperience!

Must-do half day tour - Great afternoon tour, which took us to 4 Inca sites just outside of the city and then a short walking tour in the historic centre, including the Santa Domingo church and the main square. Jennifer looked after us really well, and gave us all of the information on the sites, and answered all of our questions. The highlight was Saqsaywaman, an incredible large Inca site overlooking the city. Thanks Jennifer for a fantastic afternoon tour

Ask for Katia and you will have the most amazing experiences on this tour! - We thought we were going to be just walking around the city and were pleasantly surprised that we were actually outside the city exploring ruins and battle grounds and sacred mummification grounds. We learned so incredibly much from our guide Katia about the history of Cusco and the kings and battles and family lineage. She pointed out significant signs in the rocks and was so patient with all of our questions. We also got to see all kinds of llamas and feed them. We spent so much time on each place we were running late and Katia just let us have our experiences! But made sure we got to the final church before it closed so we could experience the majesty. She even took us to the Chocolate Museum and walked us to a restaurant we could have dinner at. This was an amazing tour and Katia was the best tour guide!

Amazing intro to the Inka world!! - I had an amazing intro to Cusco on this City Tour with Katie. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient and went above and beyond to give me and the group a great experience and insights into the Inca culture. I was travelling on my own but felt very safe and comfortable on this trip. I recommend it to anyone looking for a first glimpse into the rich Inca heritage.
