Unique, interesting, different. Lots of engaging features including an earthy Inca Ceremony with an elder. - We thought our guide was fantastic. His English was excellent and he took a great deal of care to make sure we understood.

100% recommended - Excellent tour, panoramic visits to archaeological areas, participate in a religious ritual. You tour important parts of the city.. knew that all the guides must be very prepared, we had Paulo, a very prepared person, nothing improvised and who explained everything perfectly..in the end they give you a plus on foot that is well worth to finish the tour... The satisfaction is worth it..

Do this when you’re in Cusco - This was an awesome experience! I would recommend doing this towards the end of your time in Cusco because if you do this in the beginning then you’ll have nothing to do during your trip since you saw everything thing at once. But if you do it at the end you can see better views of things you might’ve seen and things you missed out on. I recommend going on the top of the bus for better views unless you have a bad motion sickness.

Not for me - Not for me. Probably I misunderstood what it was. We spent most of the time seating in a bus and there are only two real stops. One at a place where they are trying to sell you alpaca textiles that includes an Inca ceremony using coca leaves. The other is at a view point with stoning views of Cusco. It does not include visiting any arqueological sites.

Late start prevented enjoyment - Unfortunately I can't give this one good rating because the tour started one hour late, which affected enjoyment on return trip. As it took us on the higher elevation then Cuzco it was freezing cold and gave me sinuse infection. If it started on time we would have been back just as it was getting cooler, this way was not enjoyable at all.

Disappointing - We booked this tour as it the ad English translation. The guide said he spoke little English and asked if we understood Spanish. Unfortunately we don’t. We arrived at the meeting place on time We were led to the square where we waited 10 minutes. Finally they walked us about half a mile to catch the bus. The pace was too quick for some passengers. We were loaded on the bus which was running. We sat there for about 20 minutes. Finally we started, the bus made a loop around six blocks and back to where we boarded. The diesel fumes were making us ill so we got off the bus. Again there was no communication and everything was in Spanish. The tour was not as described on visitor. We would like a refund

Do not waste your time or money - The best thing about this "tour" is to get off the bus, they call it a city tour and only give you a walk around the block the rest is just wasted time (2 hours of nothing) just to get you money as a tourist, selling Inca liquor, alpaca clothes and a daunting "Inca ceremony", I die of cold and boredom, one thing is to see your face as a tourist another is to be seen shamelessly, a scam, I let the operators know, I hope they value the tourist of the future since they live by this but it is not the way to sustain it. DON'T TAKE IT.
