Real Guest Reviews

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars

"Waldo gave us an excellent tour! He went above and beyond to make sure we saw all of the sights in the center and San Blas neighborhoods. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and speaks perfect English. We also hired him for a full-day tour of Pisac, including stops at the animal and camelid sanctuaries, which was amazing and highly recommended."

"We were short on time in Cusco before a trek and this was a great introduction to the city highlights. Our guide Waldo was excellent. It was a rainy day but that did not diminish the experience. Chocolate tasting was a highlight! We opted to end the tour at the market in San Blas and enjoyed a nice lunch there. I highly recommend this tour. Excellent value!"
