We took this tour out of Cusco with our super guide Tito ( aka David) and his super driver and he also referred to us as the super group. You can tell he was entertaining and energetic! We saw several ruins listed in the tour as well as some Llama and Alpacas. Yes there was a shop that that followed. It was very useful information presented about the quality of wool items and the way some products were not pure alpaca. It used the tips in every shop. We bought a few items . The tour then returned you to the starting point. Tito did a fabulous job looking out for everyone and pacing the morning. Bring your own snack if you need to eat and they provide free water bottles.
Just consider that you're gonna have to buy a 70 soles ticket to enter the different locations and also try not to do it the first day, acclimate yourself first
Wonderful way to learn more about Cusco and the surrounding area. Lovely tour, would definitely recommend!
The guide’s English was spoken too fast and with his ability to speak English properly made understanding him difficult.

Thanks a lot for This information for is is very important to know it! Thanks a lot
Muchas gracias
A good tour of the Inca Ruins. A lot of walking involved. Tour guide Jose was very knowledgeable and gave us a very good narration on the Inca history
This tour was wonderful! Our guide was very knowledgeable and incredibly kind, and he went out of his way to ensure we could learn as much as we wanted and spend extra time exploring the sites whenever possible. I really appreciated how much history he provided throughout the tour, which made the Inca ruins feel even more meaningful. I would definitely recommend this experience.
This was easy, informational, and the guide was great!. I recommend the tout. It is not expensive and you definitely get more than you pay for
Great to learn the history guide was very detailed and knowledgeable. The sites were very interesting and amazing
Excellent. Had a wonderful time learning about the history of Peru. The visit to the Alpaca farm was the highlight for me
It is a great experience. You get to explore some of the ruins near Cusco, some of which are really impressive.
Really good tour. You’re picked up in the main square and driven to the different sites. Where you get a good walk around and the history of them
The tour started at Qorikancha. A good introduction to what comes next in the tour. Our guide Yesy was knowledgeable and I learned new things about the Incas especially their techniques in engineering. Our driver Christian was very nice and drove us safely to and from out destination. I highly recommend this tour especially if you are looking for a tour with smaller groups.
It was a pleasant half day trip. It was interesting to hear about Cuzco’s history and our guide was friendly.
My only criticism is that as a half day tour, it is expensive compared to other tours which can be 12+ hours and often include both breakfast and lunch.
With this tour, the entry tickets also were not included.
They picked us up at our hotel, gave us water, and toilet paper for bathroom. Christian our driver, kept our stuff safe in the van while on tour, and drove us around safely all day. Tour was interesting and very informative with lots of great photo ops. We got to feed and kiss llama, alpacas and vicuña.. I didn’t catch our guides name but he was great!
walter was our tour guide, he gave all the information about the 4 ruins that' we went, him & his driver alway pull out the step in the van for easy in & out of the vehicle
Excellent tour, efficient and our guide was very knowledgeable, small group which was great and very memorable
Excellent tour with breath taking views. Wealth of history. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Pick up on-time in a clean, comfortable bus.
Jose was great! Knowledgeable and provided context to the sites we visited. We had a private transport for our group which was great and the driver had plenty of water available for us during the tour and kept cleaning the car each time we stepped out.
Walter was an excellent tour guide and the same can be said if Mr. Charles's driving. The tour was well paced and informative without being overwhelming.
A lovely four hour tour of the Inca ruins around Cusco. We were in a small van with only four people. Our tour guide Jose was wonderful as was our expert driver Alex.
Very knowledge guide who explained a lot about the ruins and the history as well and pointing out unique features you would not have known if you went by yourself.
The description of the trip was not accurate. It said 4 ruins and an alpaca farm. We didn't spend enough time at the first ruins. The trip ended in 3.5 hours. The alpaca farm was a shopping scam. It was hardly a farm and more of a shop. Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly hence the three stars.

Thank you very much for letting us know your comment, which is very important to us. Because in this way we improve our service regarding the time of the tour, we can discuss whether it took a little more than 5 hours for the tour.
The visit to the alpaca farm is optional. We are going to a place where it is a guarantee that we do not give them an obligation to buy them. It is voluntary. The most important thing is to learn and know how to recognize the Four South American Paths as well as their wool, which is very special and very fine. Thank you very much.
Very informative and laid back tour. jose was a great guide - We learned a lot about the different ruins and never felt rushed, we even fit in an additional pit stop. The alpaca sanctuary at the end was a blast and we learned the difference between different sheering years and how to spot fake alpaca wool.
We saw 4 historic Incan sites, knowledgable guide. Worth visiting all areas, tour lasted about 4 hours.
I had an amazing day. The guide was very knowledgable about the history of Cusco and the Incas. We took a bus to the different sites and walked around them up and down some hills and steps. A few of us were new to Cusco, and the guide was kind enough to give us time as we acclimatised. Awesome day!
We enjoyed this tour , it provided us an opportunity to visit Inca sites within the surrounding areas of Cusco. Our transportation and driver were good,there was adequate space for everyone.
Our guide Jose was excellent, he was a kind person and was very informative.
My wife and I enjoyed the tour.
This was an experiences of our trip to Peru! Every destination was unique, beautiful, and full of fascinating history.
Our guide was good knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. He explained the history, culture, agriculture, and engineering of the Inca civilization in a way that was easy to understand and made every site come alive. We especially appreciated that he took the time to answer questions and never rushed the group.
The transportation was well organized. The itinerary was well planned, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.
A thank you to our guide and driver for their kindness, professionalism, and excellent service. They made this an enjoyable, and unforgettable day.
We recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru. It offers the perfect combination of stunning rich history, and authentic cultural experiences.
We enjoyed the tour kids found it informative and fun. Jose Tito was a very knowledgeable and fun guide.
We had Jessie as the tour guide and Christian as the driver. The tour was very informative and timed well. We visited all the sites mentioned with great views of the city.
Lovely tour, majestic sites, excellent guide (Peppo; sorry if I got the name wrong). Our teenager son was thrilled with the llama / alpaca farm visit. And we saw 2 vicunias!
