Great experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Informative and educational. Learnt a lot about Cusco that we wouldn't otherwise have known. Took in central squares, food market and San Blase.

Great tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a fantastic walking tour of Cuzco with Angelo - he’d thought ahead about all the spots we were going to see, was incredibly friendly to us and our pup (we brought our shihtzu Coco with us), and was really knowledgeable. Great conversationalist too!!

Cusco walking tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Fabrizio showed us the most beautiful views of Cusco and gave us an excellent tour of San Pedro market including tips on food to enjoy and food to avoid. He took us to the best place for tamales in all of Cusco, which was a tiny kiosk in the square - Delicious! He was entertaining and informative, but most of all he was aware of our need to take it easy as it was our first day in Cusco and we needed to acclimate. Well, done, Fabrizio!

Best way to explore Cusco!

Published on Jan, 2024

Our guide Fernando was very helpful and knowledge about Cusco and helped us getting to know the city! It was a great way to explore the city!

Nice thorough look at Cusco and its key sites

Published on Sep, 2023

Pros: - Nice thorough look at Cusco and its key sites - Fabrizio was knowledgable, and patient with the slow walkers in the fam - Stopped for juice and fruit Cons: - Seemed a bit pricey compared to other tours available I would recommend this tour!
