Great Experience! - This was a really great experience. Our host, Alvin, took us to parts of the city that I would have never known about if he had not taken us. He took the time to explain about the history of Cusco, and we left with a greater appreciation for the vibrant culture of Peru and Cusco!

A must before visiting Machu Picchu! - On Saturday 7/20 our wonderful and very knowledgeable tour guide picked us up at our hotel promptly at 9. We chose to do the tour in Spanish and highly recommend that if you can. Our guide was very knowledgeable and flexible. There was a festival in front of the Cathedral and when we stopped, he explained the various groups who danced across the parade route. From there we walked all around the charming neighborhoods of Cusco while our guide explained everything from Incan architecture to the neighborhood where the locals eat to the great variety of potatoes and other produce inside the San Pedro market. In addition to the personalized attention and detailed information, this was a great introduction to our Machu Picchu visit the following Monday.
Pido mil disculpas por no recordar el nombre del guÃa que nos recogió en el Hotel Virrey en la Plaza de Armas el sábado 20 de julio a las 9 de la mañana. Quiero darle las gracias por un tour maravilloso por los preciosos vecindarios de Cusco. Además de las explicaciones detalladas de esta ciudad histórica, nos mostró los restaurantes locales y nos explicó los productos del mercado de San Pedro. Se pasaron las 4 horas volando. ¡Mil gracias!

Excellent walking tour with Wilfredo (Wilo) - Took this tour when I visited Peru in May 2016 (I thought that I had written a review then, but realized that I did not, so I wanted to write one now). I had only one day to explore Cusco and wanted to see as much as possible. I took the PM tour. I was very fortunate to have Wilfredo as a guide. He was extremely informative, gave a lot of interesting information about both Cusco and Peru, and had a good sense of humor. He showed me many interesting places all over Cusco and provided me with many interesting facts about the sites as well. After taking this tour, I felt that I received a great overview of the city and could not have had a better guide than Wilfredo. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco!

Great immersive day tour of Cusco - We spent the morning doing this tour of Cusco with a very knowledgeable guide who shared a lot about the Incan empire and history and also took us through the local market. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and soaking up what the beautiful city of Cusco had to offer!
I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn and see more of Cusco than just what lies on the surface.

Great Day One in Cusco - Did the private AM half day walking tour in Cusco with my wife. A great way to acclimate and see the city. We were fortunate to have a very educated and informed tour guide with good English skills. Lots of information on the city, Inka history, and some spectacular views of the city. The private tour allowed us to stop and move at our own pace, this was especially nice in the San Pedro market where we could stop to buy souvenirs for much cheaper than the stores in the main plaza.

Changed the time - The time was listed as 9a on my booking, but then, when they emailed me the day before, they had changed it to 1p. The tour was very awkward because there was only the two of us. It started raining and we weren't having a good time, so we cut it short, just to escape. I emailed the company to try to get a refund, but I received no response.
