Lesser Known but the BEST

Published on Nov, 2019

We are very happy with this tour and they way it was conducted. Jose our guide was very nice and friendly and shared a lot of information. We walked to many places before hoppin into a private vehicle to see the ruins off the city. We learnt a lot about the culture of Incas and how the colonism changed everything. This is a very nice trip and we recommend this as a good introduction trip.

Nice Introduction Trip

Published on Nov, 2019

This was the best trip I had on my first day in Cusco. Jose was my guide on this tour and his knowledge and enthusiasm is impressive.I learnt a lot about Peru and the Inkan history in this trip. I highly recommend this tour.

Super Informative

Published on Oct, 2019

Highly recommended to do this tour as you would reach Cusco and would be on your rest time to acclimatise. The tour is very informative and helpful. Jose is a remarkable guide with a vast knowledge on different parts of the city and its historic importance which was very helpful in the next few days as we sauntered through the cobble stoned streets of Cusco.

Great Introduction

Published on Oct, 2019

I was keen on getting oriented with the culture and history of Incas and Peru and this trip turned out to be a perfect one. Jose was my guide and his knowledge on the history anfd culture was very impressive. I along with the group visited many sites those if i were to visit alone would not have been this informative.

Nice introduction!

Published on Oct, 2019

This was a good introduction trip. We did trip on thefirst day (the best thing we did as we reached) while we were acclimatising. Tito our guide did a tremendous job in explaining the history and facts which helped us a lot in the following days while we were there. We highly recommend this as the first thing to do as you reach Cusco to get the most of your tour.
