Highly Worthwhile Tour - Great open top bus tour that took us to the significant spots of Cusco. Also had the opportunity to receive an Andean Master Blessing, which was really interesting. Stopped at Christo Blanco too. Highly recommend this tour and great value for money 😊

Absolutely excellent bus tour - Since I had already walked Machu Picchu and Rainbow mountain the day before, I didn’t want too much walking. Luckily, the bus tour was exactly what’s needed. We parked up for specific sights so we could all take photos and the tour guide was loud and clear and spoke in both Spanish and English. We got off the bus for certain sights like the alpaca farm and Inca archeological sites. It was really great and I highly recommend this tour.

Gives a bird’s view of sites - The departure place at 12.50pm was by a jewellery store. After some time we walked to the place armas. Waited there for 15mins then walked a few blocks to the bus. Bus departed at 1.25pm. The ride was good and gave bird eye’s view of the sites and city. We returned to where we picked up the bus at 3.30pm

It was okay. A little... - It was okay. A little long and gimmicky. We went to the location Viator gave us and no one came. Asked a shop owner who then walked us about 5 blocks to the right spot. Good thing we speak Spanish because the tour was unknowingly not in English.

Just OK - The climb up to the Puca Pucara area was interesting. The long stop to have an Inca “religious” ceremony was uncalled for. The last 30 minutes riding through city traffic where it was difficult to hear the guide was not of much benefit.

Unequal representation. - The tour was good. There were 6 Spanish speaking women and my friend and I who speak English. The guide spoke in Spanish the majority of the time and would then speak a few words in English. I would estimate 75-80% Spanish and 20-25% English. They should have an all English speaking tour and an all Spanish speaking tour. I know enough Spanish that this was not an equal translation on this tour. Very disappointed.
