Things to do in Cusco

I joined this tour hoping to experience it during my stay in Cusco. I was picked up around 4 AM near my hotel, and the tour ended around 3 PM. The guide provided explanations in both Spanish and English. At the site, I paid about 70 Soles each way to ride a horse or motorcycle to near the summit. I was told it would take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to walk slowly, but since I felt motion sickness from the bumpy mountain road during the drive from Cusco to the trailhead, I chose the motorcycle up. I walked back down, which I think took less than an hour. Some of the tour participants experienced altitude sickness and seemed to be struggling, and another person vomited on the way back in the car. To be honest, the 4-hour drive each way isn't on smooth roads like in Japan, so I can't pretend it was perfectly fine. The tour itself was reasonably priced and the guide was good, but you should seriously consider whether you want to go there or not.

This was a very pleasant experience and excellent hike! The tour guide was great at explaining the history behind the lakes.

Jose was fantastic, very accommodating and approachable, and did not leave us throughout our journey to Machu Picchu. He served as our guide from Cusco to Aguas Calientes. If you are looking for trusted guidance to Machu Picchu or other places to explore in Cusco, I highly recommend this tour and the amazing Jose as your guide. Hasta la vista!

The logistical peace of mind was much needed and was well executed by the staff. Everything was seemless and a breeze. The logistical staff and the guide at the site were very friendly and knowledgable. Machu Piccu is a site to experience at least once in your lifetime!

The itinerary is well-planned, with short drives between attractions, making it easy to visit the ancient Inca sites. It's a great choice for people who enjoy scenery and history. The tour guide is knowledgeable and provides detailed explanations. The lunch arrangement is excellent. I recommend this easy day trip to anyone who likes ancient Inca culture.

everything I need to see the Machu Picchu was included and I had a wonderful guide Gerso. But for a tour costing $400 per person? Come on...

This is a very fast paced tour, but excellent for seeing many sites in a short amount of time. The tour guide did a wonderful job explaining the history behind each of the sites.

The Sacred Valley's Pisac ruins, Ollantaytambo ruins, and Machu Picchu are must-visit attractions to learn about Inca history and enjoy the local customs. The only fee that is not included is the 70 sole entrance ticket for the four Sacred Valley attractions, which must be paid separately. The travel agency arranged professional and enthusiastic guides for both the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu sections of the tour. The journey was so smooth and natural under the guidance of the tour guides that I can recommend it to friends and family. The only things to pay attention to are reminding the local travel agency to be on time for pick-up and drop-off, and ensuring that the self-service lunch on the first day is scheduled at the optimal time to avoid running out of food.

2 days prior to the start of the tour, i was informed that domestic air ticket from Lima to Cusco not included in the package. i have checked my booking amd it was only mentioned that international air ticket is excluded. thus, i expected domestic ticket to be included. would appreciate it that you check and revert. thank you
