Exceptional Tour! Do not hesitate to book! - What an absolutely amazing experience! We had a group of 7 people and we felt like VIP’s. Jacob our tour guide and Luis our driver provided unbelievably exceptional service. We were staying in Ollantaytambo and even though most sites were located closer to Cusco, we were able to arrange pick up in Ollantaytambo for a reasonable extra fee and drop off at our hotel in Cusco afterwards. The mini bus was extremely clean and quite comfortable. We traveled in luxury. There were charging ports at our seats and Jacob provided information and commentary along almost the entire route through an audio system built into the bus. We saw all of the major sites listed as advertised. 1- Cusco Cathedral 2- Qorikancha 3- Sacsayhuaman 4- Q'enco Archaeological Complex 5- Puka Pukara 6- Tambomachay This was a professional experience and I highly recommend booking asap. Do not hesitate!

Super great experience... - Super great experience and guide. It was a perfect balance between getting to hear all of the details and having a little bit of time to explore the space. Our guide was excellent and helped us navigate buying access tickets and made the whole process very easy. The driver was great as well. We felt safe and cared for the entire time and got to learn a ton about the archaeological sites around Cusco in a very short period of time. Our guide went out of his way to ensure that my child had an enjoyable time, too. I would 10 out of 10 recommend this experience!

I was met by the tour... - I was met by the tour guide at my hotel. There were 8 persons on the tour; I was the only English speaking one while the rest of the group were given the tour in Spanish. This worked out perfectly as it felt like I had a private tour since the guide took time to explain the sights in English to me while the rest of the group wandered around the sites. Excellent guide.

AMAZING, INFORMATIVE, AND FUN!!! - "Wow, what an amazing tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience so much fun. We were conveniently picked up from our hotel for the afternoon tour and got to visit all the sites listed. Qenqo was my favorite - it's truly impressive with spectacular views. We took so many photos and you won't regret choosing this tour company. They truly stand out from the rest."

Fun in the Land of the Incas - It was a great tour. We had a lot of fun. Sacsayhuaman is absolutely spectacular. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was like having an Inca for a guide. Everything was ship-shape and on time. Highly recommended.

Awesome tour - My tour guide Jacob was very knowledgeable. He himself was of Inca heritage was able to explain Inca ruins very well. Their history, architecture etc. Since tour guide could not arrive on time (15 min delay) due to traffic (Cusco traffic is bad) as a courtesy tour company paid for Qorikancha admission. I will recommend this tour.

City Tour Experience - It was a very unique experience and the tour guide tried his best to accommodate us because most of the tourists with us then were all Spanish. Maybe we could have enjoyed more if he gound time explaining in English as he did in Spanish..but i understand because he was also running after time.. But he tried his best.. the Tourist areas we went into were really very historic!!!

Interesting tour, but must improve organization - Right tour but disorganized and late pickup. Wait 25 minutes at the gates of Qorikancha which was closed.
