Visit to archaeological sites in Peru - We were fortunate to do the tour with “Peru adventure.trek” led by guide Eddy Quispe conde, who gave us a very complete explanation, had a great mastery of the subject and very willing to answer any of our questions. The guide also showed a lot of charisma and emotion with the history of this country, characteristics that highlighted a lot since they make the experience more enjoyable, he also highlighted the clarity in the language and the particular way he had to tell us and place us in the same story. Definitely a wonderful experience.

Excellent city tour in Cusco - We took the tour with the guide Christian, who provided us with a lot of information about the places visited in a clear way and using images that made us understand more about each place. Also very kind to take photos of us at the visiting places. I recommend the tour!

A Great private Tour with an Excellent Guide - When visiting Cusco, I would highly recommend this tour of Sacsayhuamán and the other archeological sites close to Cusco. We were picked up early morning so as to accommodate our afternoon schedule, this also meant that when we arrived at Sacsayhuamán there were no other visitors, so able to fully appreciate this incredible site before the crowds arrived. Our guide Edward was local, excellent, very knowledgeable & spoke good English. He was able to answer all our questions and tailored the time we spent at each site to our wishes - a truly “private” tour made extra special by our wonderful guide Edward.

Beautiful history - Regina was an excellent guide. She took special care throughout the tour, whether on the bus or at the various sites, to explain everything in both Spanish and English. We spent an appropriate amount of time at each site and she was able to answer all of our questions.

100% recommended. Do not take the bus option on City tour. - Very good option to get to know the key places of Cusco in the first days in the city. This tour will allow you to discover beautiful historical corners of the city - do not take the City tour bus as an option because the climate of the city is very changeable (it is not covered) and they do not let you get off to take photos quietly.

Strong start, greatly diminished - We booked this tour to visit the Inca sites in Cusco as especially the more remote sites are difficult to reach without a tour. The tour started very well, our guide was very dedicated. The tour at Quorikancha was very informative and we loved it. Then we took the bus to Tambomachay, again everything was great. The explanation was brief, but there's not that much to see here either. From now on it went downhill. To Puka Pukari there was only a short, 5-minute explanation and afterwards you had 15 minutes to rush through the complex. Other tours also lead through the complex. This was followed by a stoppage not included in the itinerary at a company that sells alpaca clothing. We wasted about 25 minutes doing this. Through Q‘enco we walked briefly, about 15 minutes. After all, there was a guided tour here. The explanations were okay here, but I don't think we saw everything. The visit of Sacsayhuamán was bold. Again there was only a very short explanation of maybe 5 minutes, no guided tour but instead 25 minutes at leisure. That's not enough front and back. Maybe it would be an idea to get off the tour here to have more time for the sightseeing and not have to buy a second ticket. The return trip to the center was then a short sales event for two books. I would have liked to give more stars because the tour actually has real potential and the guide was excellent, but unfortunately it was a maximum of 3 stars.
