Cusco and Sacred Valley tour Review

Published on Nov, 2024

Cusco or Qosco is quite wonderful city to visit. A lot of Incan and Peruvian history to know and explore. Ms. Katia is super knowledgeable and very helpful. She knows her stuff very well and understands the history really well. Saqsaywaman and other places around Cusco city along with Sacred valley tour was really good. Good service and extremely helpful staff.

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

Published on Oct, 2024

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
