Fantastic Tour, Excellent Guide!!! You will learn a lot! - I had an excellent tour of the city and the immediate outskirts (Sacsahuayman) and I cannot say enough about the thorough knowledge of my guide. I was working on a very particular project and he immediately tailored my tour to fit my interests. An exceptional experience!!

This tour was a perfect... - This tour was a perfect way to explore the areas around Cusco beyond the city center. The pacing was just right—not rushed at all—with several well-timed stops that gave us a deeper appreciation of the region. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience engaging for everyone in the group. We had a nice mix of travelers, including a small child, and the team was very accommodating to all ages and needs. It really felt like a personalized and thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a well-organized and enriching half-day adventure in Cusco!

Great Tour overall - The highlight of the day for us was going to Sascayhuman where the mysteries of those massive blocks that are intricately carved and placed together just takes your breath away. The place has a wonderful air of calm and spirituality.

5 hours of the best sights! - The important thing to highlight was that despite being advertised as 3.5 hours, it was 6.5 from start to finish. The first venue didn't allow any photography (including with mobiles) and the second was restrictive on the same. This didn't affect my enjoyment, but is something to consider. Now none of the above would I consider a negative for me personally. The guide was fantastic, even though her job was essentially herding cats ;) and well versed in all that was asked. English was also very good. Definitely something I'd recommend to others coming to Cusco!

A rich and varied tour of all Cusco has to offer - We had a wonderful time on this tour and learned so much from our fantastic guide who was cheerful, knowledgable, and hilarious. She absolutely made this tour for us. Some of the logistics of the tour could use a little tweaking, like just having everyone meet in the square instead of doing individual pickups. There was a small snafu with some tickets to get into some of the sites that may be a website issue. The tour also ended up including extra sites which we were thrilled to see but wished we knew ahead of time so we could plan better for dinner. All in all, it was a wonderful way to see the rich history that Cusco has to offer!

It's All An Experience :) - Rommel had a lot of knowledge and you could feel the passion for what he does. He was able to share a lot of incredible information about some of the ruins in Cusco as well as Cusco itself. We saw several sights that I wouldn't have seen without this tour! A few things I would adjust going forward is booking English speaking tours and Spanish speaking tours separately. It would save time and likely end the tour at the 3.5 hour mark rather than 4 or 4.5. While I love the convenience of being picked up at my hotel, I would also say to have a main meeting point in the main Cusco square for easier pick up and to ensure the tour starts on time. That being said Rommel was very professional given all the beginning setbacks we had and I was very impressed.

Felt like an infomercial - The sites selected were nice, but not what was advertised and we would have preferred an honest approach when we were being carted to purchase from his friends.

Very dissatisfied - I did not know that I also had to buy additional tickets for the tour. On the day of the tour I received a text telling me in order to join the tour I need to spend an additional 290 soles. So all in all I paid $98.00 to this company and another 290 soles for the tour. I am demanding a refund. Because I ended up walking to the tour destination. Nobody picked us up per the 98 dollar cost.
