I initially wanted to do a self-guided tour of Cusco but after getting lost and getting dropped off by Uber at the wrong places, we gave up and looked for group tours instead. Glad we found this on Viator! Our guide was Elvio and he was amazing! He was knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot about Cusco and Incan history. This tour was great! Highly recommend.Everything was just as mentioned in their itinerary. The lady who attended us was very helpful and chaty. She did an amazing work of organising and planning this tour efficiently. The crew were very nice too. Certainly worth it for a good understanding about Incas culture.

Certainly worth it for a good understanding about Incas culture.I was in a group of 11 on this city tour and this was a nice introduction to different parts of the city and how the incans built them and its existence after the Spanish colonisation. The guide was very nice she knew a lot and was always willing to answer all questions.
