It was a great experience. Loved the tour very much... JUAN VARGAS, our guide, was on-time to pick us up at the hotel. He was very knowledgeable in giving us the highlights and history of each archeological site. The Alpacas y Llamas farm was a must see for us as well and we definitely enjoyed spending time there.

My guide (Christian) was extremely knowledgeable, and most pleasant. A little shorter than the stated length, but I had plently of time to explore. At my request, they even changed things up a bit at the end and he gave me a tour of the Cusco main square. Highly recommended.

Great day

Excellent and interesting historical sites that our guide, Johnathan Flores, explained in a very interesting way.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Christian’s knowledge and pleasant guidance made it even more special. We’re also glad you appreciated the flexibility at the end of the tour and the time to explore Cusco’s main square. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we would be happy to welcome you again on a future visit.

Great start to our Cusco visit

Karen_G, Dec 2025
Great tour of Inca ruins within Cusco to understand the history and significance of the city. Our guide, Christian, did a great job showing us around. The camelid farm was fun to see the different species, feed them, and learn about the different animal hair used for textiles. Of course, they have a beautiful shop of products you can buy!

Incan Capital Tour

David_P, Sep 2025
This tour is great for exploring the Incan capital and the fantastic architecture, history and stone masonry of the Quechua peoples.

Highly recommend this tour!

A must if you are in Cuzco

Katalin_K, Aug 2025
Absolutely stunning. A must to do. Our tour guide was one of the best that I had in many years! Extremely knowledgeable and informative.

5 star experience!

Jeff_D, Aug 2025
Excellent tour where you get to see so many beautiful sites in Cusco. The tour operator and driver were super friendly. We got amazing pictures and got a 5 star experience.

Great daytrip!

Malene_F, Aug 2025
When in Cusco do not cheat yourself from this great way to visit some of the Inkas most important places. Many think that if you have seen Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, there is nothing more to see in the same league. You couldn’t be more wrong! We went with the guide Americo, who is also an anthropologist and he has so much to tell about everything we saw and did it with extra information, that you don’t find in normal guidebooks. Super interesting! We had a great day and warmly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Cusco. Don’t think about it, do it!

Great sites but hard to understand the guide

Sonia_L, Aug 2025
The sites were interesting. However, our guide was so hard to understand that we missed a lot of information and started losing interest. The problem with Viator tours is sometimes you get great guides and sometimes you don’t. And it makes all the difference.

Great energy

KuanHsiang_H, Jul 2025
Our guide was Americo - he was very passionate and energetic who led the tour with passion and positive energy. The company checked with us before and through the trip. Ideal for Spanish speaking audiences. We had fun, and opened our minds :)

Great experience overall, the Guide makes all the difference!

Alejo_L, Jul 2025
We had a fantastic experience on the Cusco walking tour! This single tour is truly a “must do” when arriving in Cusco. It’s the perfect way to get oriented with the city before heading out to explore on your own. Our guide, Americo, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought a unique, spiritual, and holistic perspective to the tour. His enthusiasm and depth of insight made the experience especially meaningful. Unlike some of the more mainstream tours, Americo offers a refreshing point of view that adds richness to every site and story he shares. We opted for a private tour for our family group of six, which gave us great flexibility with timing. Since our flight arrived later in the afternoon, we appreciated being able to adjust the start time to better fit our schedule. If you’re arriving in Cusco later in the day, I highly recommend reaching out to see if accommodations can be made - it made a big difference for us. Although this was my third visit to Cusco and my third time taking this tour over the past decade, I chose to do it again so my family members (many of whom were visiting Peru for the first time) could benefit from the experience. Without a doubt, this tour offers exceptional value and stands out among the many options available in the area. The only other tour that compares in quality and depth was our Sacred Valley tour, which was equally memorable. Highly recommended!

Awesome city tour, absolutely beautiful sites, gorgeous architecture and unbelievable amounts of history.

Oksana_A, Jun 2025
This tour was really great. It showed us the city's important spots, some of which we wouldn't even attempt to see without a guide. Alvie, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining, he took his time explaining city's history to us. We recommend this tour to those who are interested in ancient inka history.

We really enjoyed our private tour of the ruins outside Cusco! Rosa was a great guide and very friendly and knowledgeable.

Excellent Tour

Soudamini_M, May 2025
We visited the best of Cusco in a short time in this tour. Our guide was excellent and he made sure we had the best experience.

Very nice tour.

Had an amazing tour and my tour guide was very knowledgeable. We saw historic sites and also met with locals/local shop owners.

Excellent! Fantastic...

Anonymous, May 2025
Excellent! Fantastic experience. We were taken to all the city sites but at are own pace. We were Never rushed. The guide’s historical knowledge was outstanding! The drive was safe and experienced.

Not worth the price of a private tour.

NADINE_D, May 2025
Rosa, our guide was not as informative as we expected. Considering it was a private tour - we requested to be dropped off at the closest area to San Pedro Market instead of our hotel. We were dropped off very far from the market which was a questionable neighborhood.

Great city tour - saw...

james_b, Apr 2025
Great city tour - saw lots of areas we would otherwise have missed. Would recommmed as a city tour..

Be aware of the weather

Yiyi_S, Apr 2025
We had a good experience in general. Our guide was nice and hospitable. Unfortunately it started raining after our second site and we were not able to go to see the other sites. Please be aware that almost all sites in tour are outdoor and weather plays a big part in your experience.

Excellent private tour highly recommended.

Randy_H, Mar 2025
We had an excellent tour guide, Amadeo. He was one of the best we ever had. He provided excellent insights into the archaeological sites that we visited. Insights that probably would’ve not been provided by another tour guide.

Not happy fully because pickup place was changed very last moment.

Jayanta_K, Dec 2024
The tour guide was excellent, but in spite of pickup place being Cuzco airport, the very last moment they refused to pickup from the airport. Lame excuse of traffic on the way . We had to go to a place of their choice.

Great tour surrounding Cusco-not a city tour

John_O, Dec 2024
Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of the Inkas. We were expecting a tour of the city of Cusco, so a little confused from the title. (Our fault for not reading the description closer) Sacsayhuamán was incredible!

Great tour and great guide. Thanks Chris

Jonathan_B, Dec 2024
We opted for a private tour of Cusco so that we could move at our own pace. Our tour guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Chris's English and accent were excellent. I am hearing impaired so this made it much easier for me to understand. All in all I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide Chris.

Phenomenal, worthwhile, & educational

Ryne_W, Nov 2024
My guide absolutely made the trip!! He was explaining everything in great detail and was entertaining. It was just him and I so we got to know each other over the course of 6 hours and it has easily been one of the best experiences I’ve had on a vacation. Would recommend again!!

A Perfect City Tour in Cusco with Percy, an Amazing Guide!

Manolis_C, Oct 2024
We had a fantastic city tour in Cusco with Percy, an incredible guide full of knowledge. He knew so much about the history and culture, and he was extremely friendly, making the experience even better. We visited numerous sites, and this tour became one of our favorite experiences in Peru! We also enjoyed a visit to a small zoo, where we got to feed llamas and alpacas—a unique and fun touch. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic tour

Ormond_F, Oct 2024
The tour was exceptional, our guide Christian was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable and very informative. We enjoyed the entire tour and learned a lot. There was no dead time every minute was worth while. We highly recommend it.

Awesome trip
