Great experience! - The Scenic Sun Route from Puno to Cusco was very well organized. Everything was on time, the bus was comfortable, there was also Wi-Fi on the bus, and the stops were very interesting. Special thanks to the guide who was very friendly and gave nice and easy explanations. The buffet lunch was also very good and better than expected. 🍽️ I highly recommend this tour if you want a comfortable and well organized trip between Puno and Cusco!

Excellent tour, would absolutely recommend! - We initially booked this just as a means to get from Puno to Cusco but wow, were we so glad we did! Excellent experience, starting with arriving at the bus station and the lady ensuring we were on the right bus. From here we were in the hands of our capable and safe driver, Alex, and our very knowledgeable guide Liborio (aka "Libos"). Libos expertly guided us along the tour and his enthusiasm for Incan history and culture was inspiring. Tour included a snack pack and lunch buffet (delicious). Beautiful route to Cusco with incredible stops along the way including churches, cafe, and ruins. Some of these stops included places to buy souvenirs but no pressure to buy anything. I highly recommend this tour along your travels.

Amazing clients service - I want to express my deep gratitude to the support clients service of Inka Express. Every agent was so nice and helpful, they helped me with the seats, the booking, and now, because of the war, I cannot fly to Peru, and they offered to extend my tickets for a year. I advise warmly about this company

The best way from Puno to Cusco - Excellent guide and driver. Clean and comfortable seats. Tea and coffee on tap all day. The sites we stopped at were interesting and worthwhile. Lunch exceeded expectations. I‘m glad I chose to do Puno to Cusco this way rather than straight through overnight. Would definitely recommend.

Great interpretation information - Amazing information provided by guide Matias at every stop, and giving us a heads up before we got off the bus, so we could be ready when the doors opened. Best English interpretations I’ve had in South America. Alejandro, driver, was funny and sweet and always ready. The admission fees for the sites should be an option on their website to pay in advance, instead of having cash on hand to give to the guide in the morning. Somehow it seemed I was the only one who missed the option, and I booked directly through their website. Very comfortable bus. Wish there was 15 more minutes at a couple of the stops.

Nice tour with informative stops - It was a great tour with enough time at each stop, informative and not too rushed. I was disappointed that the tip I gave to the tour guide (that I asked to share) was not shared with the driver.
