Ok...felt rushed and could have done on my own - I was glad to be able to see this site in person however there were several things that didn't sit well with me. I will list them accordingly as a heads up to others so you know what to expect. 1. If you aren't staying in Miraflores or other surrounding areas, they do charge a $20/ per way pick up and drop off fee. It would have been $40 total which I thought was insanely overpriced considering an Uber to the location was $5.00 one way..$10 total 2. They were about 20 min late arriving at the meeting spot which I at first thought was a scam since they kept saying they would be there in 5 min and it was well over that time. 3. I was the only English speaking person on the tour and although the guide said he was practicing his English...the language barrier was def there and a lot of stuff I didn't understand. I felt like he didn't usually do the tour and they grabbed him last minute to translate for me. 4. The tour was very rushed and several of the Temples weren't even visited. I saw other people going to other areas of the Temples that we didn't go to and I'm not sure why. This was most disappointing as I would have liked to tour more of the property. 5. The tour itself could have been done on my own as Temples had signs explaining the names etc and it was also in English. All in all, I didn't HATE the tour but def felt like I could have learned more if the language barrier wasn't there and more time was allotted at the Temples as well as the museum. I wouldn't recommend to someone that is looking for a well paced tour and a decent amount of knowledge about the Temples.
