Great choice to travel from Cusco to Puno - We took the tourist bus from Cusco to Puno. It was a great experience. Although it took 10 hours but we did 4 stops and got to know other interesting places on the way + a great lunch and especially a great guide on the board who was very knowledgable and attentive.

One day trip from Cusco to Puno with Inka Express: a unique experience - Our one full day trip from Cusco to Puno with Inka Express was excellent! The driver of the car was very goid and very attentive, and the guide ELIO was really excellent! All the stops were studied in the most important archaeological sites between Cusco-Puno, and the presentations of the guide ELIO were detailed and excellent, in Spanish and English, as well. The lunch was rich and of very good quality. In addition, upon entering the bus, we were provided with water, juice and snacks. The bus was relatively new, safe, very comfortable and with large gaps between the seats, with WC inside and powerful internet throughout the journey. And all this with a very competitive (see below). low price! We strongly recommend Inka Express for this trip-tour and for any other tour trips organized. We would like to thank Inka express warmly for this extraordinary rich and unique experience! Efpraxia and George (from Greece)

Could have better amenities - Booking was smooth. The bus was on time and it all went well. It was a well thought out route. The driver and guide were great. What could be improved: the internet was not working even though it was advertised, and the bathroom started to smell in the first hour or so, which made the trip somewhat unpleasant.
