Cusco Day trips

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.

I was hesitant because there were no reviews, but I really wanted to visit Vinicunca, so I applied with some doubt, but I had a great time. I suffered from altitude sickness, so I checked whether there were oxygen cans, and I was able to get quick answers via WhatsApp. And our guide! Humberto was so great that I really wanted to leave a review. He switched between English and Spanish, and his quick and clear explanations, headcount checks, and schedule checks were all professional (thumbs up x3). Breakfast and lunch are both served as buffets. Be sure to drink coca tea. The weather is so unpredictable that it was often hard to see, but we still reached the 5,036m summit. You can rent poles or ride horses back and forth (120 soles round trip) from where the ATVs can't go, and I highly recommend horseback riding if you can afford it. Because of the high altitude, you get out of breath after just 5 steps, but the horse handlers pull the horse with me on it and run (thumbs up). And it's cold! We had experience from a previous trip, so we went armed, so it was okay, but other foreigners struggled a lot with the cold. Gloves are a must. Sunglasses are also essential as you ride through snow and rain. Near the summit, many people bring out llamas wearing sunglasses so you can take pictures with them, but I don't know how much it costs. I don't think it's 10 soles... And they also sell alpaca scarves and snacks. Bring extra money in addition to the 30 soles entrance fee.

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...

The tour guide explained the ruins really well, without the explanation, they would just look like ordinary rocks.

It was a really great day! Everything was well-organized and worked out perfectly. Only at the end were we driven in a very cramped and uncomfortable van. It also didn't take us to the hotel as described, but dropped us off at a square.

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.
