Traveler reviews
Careful and professional staff. Super Indico
I made City tour in Lima, Cusco and all the transfers with them. Very attentive and punctual staff. All guides were excellent! Note 1000!!!
Very informative trip to Lina
Great trip and our guide was very knowledgeable and agreeable.
pleasant
high point for guide, a love, super friendly in addition to having full knowledge about the q presented us clarifying all doubts, nice tour with a duration of 4hs, we walked through the historic center, including the sanctuaries and the house alliaga, for those who like culture is worth it, our guide passed a lot of details, does not speak Spanish running, to understand very well.
There are better tour company options
This was our second day tour since we arrived in Cusco (1st was a different company). The sites are amazing but the tour guide was not. I’m glad we had the other experience first to compare. The guide rushed through the four sites (instead of 4+ hours it was 2.5) and did not explain much. We skipped one entire side of Sacsayhuaman which we didn’t realize until we were driving away. He provided so much Less info than the previous day’s guide. Driver was also less smooth than the previous day’s driver (navigating these roads in a manual tour bus is not easy I’m sure). I would not recommend this tour company based on our experience.
Informative
Very informative, flexible tour. We got to see and learn a lot about historic Lima on top of the sanctuaries! Our tour guide was friendly and accommodating.
