Additional Information

This tour will take you to a local market and then out in the town of Cusco at night. We will meet up at your hotel and take you first for a tour of a local non-touristic market and then for a Pisco sour, the most typical cocktail of Peru. Then we will be transported to the Cusco Planetarium, located 15 minutes above the city. Here we will hear about how the Incas viewed the constellations and then we will get to go outside to look through the telescopes and stargaze. After the planetarium, we will return to Cusco and go out to a restaurant frequented by locals for the most popular dish of Peru: Pollo a la brasa, or blackened rotisserie chicken, which is eaten with salad and french fries and will have the most typical drink of Peru, Inca kola. We will finish the tour by walking around the Plaza de Armas (the main square) which is lit up beautifully at night and look at the statue of the emperor Pachacutec and learn about the history of the Incas in Cusco.

A fantastic evening in Cusco. - Cusco by Night is an excellent way to spend an evening and our guide, Jimmy, was an excellent host. We walked at a brisk, but not overly fast pace. Jimmy is everything you'd want in a guide – knowledgeable, detail-oriented, attentive and friendly. We learned a bit about this history of the city and the culture. The complimentary pisco sour was served on a rooftop lounge on one of Cusco's squares. The view was spectacular. We met the van a short time later and we're whisked off to the planetarium. The planetarium experience was awesome. After a brief planetarium show, we went outside to stargaze using three high-powered telescopes. The Southern Cross, Big Dipper and other constellation were visible with the naked eye, but the telescopes added to the experience. We finished the evening at a pollo a la brasa restaurant. The meal was simple, but delicious and the conversation with Jimmy was great. From start to finish, the evening was perfect. The experience was so good because our host was invested in making the experience great. Jimmy loves what he does and it shows. If I ever return to Cusco, I'd book this excursion in a heartbeat.

An evening under the stars in Cuzco - Such an interesting thing to do in Cuzco. It was informative and entertaining with excellent views of the stars. Jimmy was so willing to share his knowledge and was great company for the evening. We had to reschedule due to a late arrival and they were very accomodating.

Stars in Cusco - The Cusco by Night tour was an excellent beginning to our trip in Peru. Kenny showed us around the market and gave a tour of the Plaza de Armas, then we went up to the best roof top to view the city as it was coming alive at night, and tried our first Pisco Sour. The planetarium is small (and cold!) but Kenny and the planetarium crew are very passionate about the stars and it showed. Would highly recommend.

Lovely tour - We had a great time on this tour. Simon was very informative and engaging. We LOVE the planetarium and seeing Saturn and Jupiter through the telescope. But the highlight of the tour was seeing sunset from the rooftop of a local bar. The lighting and view were incredible. Would recommend!

Great guide. Great tour. And they have an even Greater you should ask about!!misson you - I was a bit nervous running around which is any tour guide company. My friend is more worldly than I and scheduled this and our guide did not disappoint! Not only did I feel safe we got great lessons about the city and country . The most fascinating was the not for profit they work with and help in the children in the high mountains with schools, chromebooks, skills and more! The dinner portion of our tour we got to meet his nephew who happened to be our guide at the planetarium and his beautiful Bonita! I hope to stay in contact and recommend using this company anytime!

Being American, and failed miserably trying to learn the language, it was great that Valentine's English was supreme. Would recommend. The dinner part was amazing as we had dinner with him and several of his family members.
