The best guides in Peru - I just wanted to leave a quick review of the tour that my partner and I took on 1 Nov, 2023. We booked the Tipon, Pikillacta and Andahuaylillas South Valley Day Tour from Cusco. Our guide and driver, Luis and Luis, showed up on time and immediately Luis made us feel comfortable. As we drove out of Cusco and got to know a little bit about Luis, it became clear that my partner connected with him in several areas of interest. This connection was exactly what my partner needed that day. Luis was incredibly knowledgeable about the places that we visited but it was his willingness to answer questions that might have seemed a little out of the blue and his concern for my partners feelings that really stuck out to us. He turned what could have been a regular ho-hum day into a highlight of our time in Cusco. I feel that anybody who gets Luis as a guide and Luis as a driver is very lucky. He knows how to connect with the people he is guiding and how to personalize the experience to them. I wish I was a better wordsmith because I have been able to express just a small portion of how special the time with them was. Thank you to Luis and Luis.

A great tour, a great time! - Excellent tour from Luis and Paul. Luis was fun, knowledgable, and a great guide through the sites. He took us on a great journey through the history of each site, while mixing in some excellent knowledge of plants and wildlife. A great trip, highly recommended for a wonderful half day.

Amazing experience - Luis and Paul were fantastic! Luis was funny and easy to talk to- also he was so knowledgeable and had so much to share about all the places we went. He not only provided us with social and historical context, he also took the time to learn what we were most interested in (plants and birds) and tailored the tour to our interests. Our driver, Paul got us quickly and safely around. Highly recommend them!

The beauty of architecture and engineering - Learning the history of the different cultures involved. Seeing the incredible architecture and engineering

Highly Recommend - Tour was way more awesome than expected. Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide (Her name was Fluora).

A must. - Everyone should add this tour to a trip to Peru. Pikillacta is almost as impressive as Machupicchu and if and when it is completely excavated may rival it - see it before the crowds move in. Tipon and San Pedro Apostol de Andahuaylillas are both beautiful and peaceful. Our guide (Michael) is well-informed and entertaining and our driver (Franklin) is competent and friendly. Please do not miss.

Brilliant! - A really enjoyable tour. Our driver, Jordi and guide Gary, were excellent. Picked us up at our hotel right on time. Explained where we were going throughout the tour. Gary is a very knowledgeable guy, able to answer all our questions. Gave us plenty of time at each location to view on our own and take pictures. They even stopped at a popular bakery on the way back and bought some bread for us to try. There were only two of us so the trip was a very personal tour and got dropped off back at our hotel. Wonderful and great value for money.

Great tour to a trio of sites - We wanted to explore the Cusco area outside of the Sacred Valley so this tour was perfect. Fabrizio our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and made the different sites come alive! It was interesting to learn about the pre-Inca sites that inspired the Inca; Pikillacta. Tipon was a marvel of construction with its complex irrigation and the church at Andahuaylillas was awe-inspiring. Thank you Fabrizio for the great tour. Thank you to our driver Martin. It was a memorable day and we would highly recommend the experience!

Great Sites - Really Knowlegable and friendly guide and driver - We booked this tour but my wife was unwell so it turned into a solo tour for just me. Andahuaylillas has a very interesting and beautiful catholic church but you can't take pictures inside. The guide explained to me how the church was really richly decorated by donations from the exploitation of the local people. (not the first example of this in Peru). Pikillacta is a fantastic and extensive pre-Inca(Wari) site with very good explanation from the guide. Tipon is pure Inca and reminiscent of Moray but agricultural rather than experimental. Again good explanations from the guide. I recommend this tour if you are staying in Cusco - the sites really are worth a visit and makes a very enjoyable half day.

We have just realized... - We have just realized that the tour guide did not take us to Pikillacta !!!! Whilst the rest of the tour was very good and informative we feel that we were cheated out of what we had booked and paid for !!
