Itinerary

This 4-hour tour of Cusco and the Inca Empire’s sites starts with a hotel pickup by bus a little before 1:30pm. Please take note that the regular tour doesn’t include any entrance fees or access tickets. If you’d like to have that taken care of, please upgrade to the all-inclusive tour option — otherwise, you’ll have to pay entrance fees at the different sites.

The first stop of your tour is at Plaza de Armas. Follow your guide to an ancient Inca church, and hear stories about how the empire came to thrive. After, walk to Qorikancha, one of the most important temples to the Inca people. Admire the architecture of the temple, and take notice of a high altar made of bronze.

Keep trekking on foot over to Avenida El Sol, and hop on your bus for a short 20-minute ride just outside the city to Sacsayhuaman. Sacsayhuaman was the historic capital of the Inca Empire, and your guide tells you a lot about the empire's history here. Your last stops of the tour include the sites of Q’enqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay.

Travel back to your hotel by bus, and arrive there at about 5:30pm — just in time to make plans for dinner.

Good value

Lilly_K, Jun 2024

Great tour which covers a lot of places. Your guide is knowledgeable but talked too much so we missed one of the places to go on the itinerary

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hi Llilly, Thank you for for your possitive feedback, this really means a lot to keep working hard and try to do our best. thank you for your recomendation as well, sometimes times seem short but we will make sure to complete to visit places. that day turn dark quickly. Best regards Raul

The tour guide picked us up promptly...

Andrea J, Oct 2016

The tour guide picked us up promptly at our hotel, the tour guide, Roger was great and very friendly. The only issue with this tour is that it does not mention in the original booking on the Viator website that in addition to the price shown you will need to pay for all of the excursion fees. What would be helpful would be to include all of the excursion fees as a guideline so that you know what to expect as a whole, otherwise it is misleading advertising. We ended up having to buy a ticket for 175 soles each and the one ticket that was 130 soles on it's own was great as it included visits to ten different areas, but we would never have had the chance to see all of the things included and only two things that were on the ticket were included in this half-day tour. With Viator I'd always check exactly what they are offering and make sure you get emails from the actual contracted tour provider, as this isn't Viator and often you don't receive any emails at all. So overall a good guide, but a lot of crucial information was missing and for this reason I wouldn't recommend this tour,

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for you valued time and feedback. In the inclussion and eclussion sections you can see what the tour includes. Unfortunately all places to be visited request an entry ticket and the cusco one for one day cost 125 peruvian sol so visit 6 places. This tickets are mandatory to purchase if we make the conversion only entry tickets will cost 35 usd dollar. We already update all relevant information. thank you for your feedback.

It's a good tour, to know the city...

TatianaS_L, Jun 2016

It's a good tour, to know the city, but very superficially. To many people, for only one guide.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for you time and feedback, the tour takes 4 hours and we covered 6 places and the times are short to visit many places. Now our groups are 10 people and vadding an extra hour so we have enough time to enjoy better. sincerely

Cy tour de cusco fabuloso
