IMPORTANT: this tour is NOT operated by Linda Tours, but rather another company, KB. I later learned that the others in my group that had booked directly with KB had a pre-departure meeting that I was not informed of by Linda Tours, and the information I “was” provided was missing important details or outright incorrect - I had to borrow cash and other important items from people in my group because I was not given an accurate list. I also ended up in a very stressful situation with the bus back to Cusco due to the poor communication by Linda Tours. KB is great, but do yourself a favor and go directly through them.
