Highly recommended for the first day in Cusco - Louis was a Great Guide! Knows the Inca history very well but does not pretend that everything is certain (like many other guides). He was open about the fact that we know actually very little about the Incas.

Good choice to see the 4 ruins around Cuzco - Well organized. Excellent value for money. There was no pickup at my hotel, because it was outside the center, but I looked for another one a 10-minute walk that did. I was advised in advance by wsp of the exact pickup time. Other tours make a very short visit to Sacsayhuamán. In this case, it is a reasonable time, although there you can be several hours if you want to see everything.

Tour guide very knowledgeable. - Our guide brought us to the important and significant places in the Cuzco. We learned a lot about the historical places. But it was a bit tiresome coz it required a lot of walking.
