Cusco tour great! This was an amazing tour that covered many parts of the city that we had been to, but never realised there was so much hidden history and details. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and took photos for us. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a summary of the highlights of Cusco and some travel tips such as when to visit the churches.

A very nice evening walk. Also kind of eye opening about everything around you! Our tour guide explained a lot of things and it was visible he liked what he was doing. He helped us with taking photos, answered all of our questions and was very considerate of the altitude sickness we were experiencing. He asked us a couple of times if the walking speed was okay, which I really appreciated. The views were stunning and he knew a lot of locals, which is always a green flag for me. Also for some of the locations he was able to show them from different angles, so there weren't as many tourists around!

Interesting and informative! Wonderful, informative tour with Nilo on a beautiful Friday afternoon. His English was flawless, his knowledge and patience was much appreciated. Great way to kick off our weekend in Cusco! Nice little treats and surprises along the way, and stunning viewpoints we may not have found by ourselves. Well done, Nilo!
