Had a blast with our tour guide - Our tour guide was so funny! I think his name is Justicio if I remember correctly. My friend and I had a great time walking around Cusco with him telling us all about the good spots to eat, where to visit if we have time and very knowledgeable of the history of Cusco. One of the best tour guides ever!
