Cusco: Half-Day City Tour with Sacsayhuaman and Q'enco - Qoricancha: the optional city-center beginning

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,129 reviews · 5 hours · from $13Our pick

Review of Cusco’s $13 half-day tour, covering Qoricancha, Sacsayhuamán, Q’enqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay.

“Wilson was an exceptional guide. He was incredibly knowledable, and his English was perfect. He took his time to answer all of our questions. He was very friendly, kind, supportive, and patient. He took goodcare of myself and my friend. He allowed us extra time to get to the top of Tambomachay. We are both in our 70's, so we had to take it slow. Many tours rush people, so we appreciated not being pressured to hurry. The driver was also great. I never felt nervous about safety.”

“Most of this tour was spent bumping around in Cusco traffic. We went to another hotel on the other side of town presumably to pick up other passengers - they were presumably no shows but there was no explanation. After a brief tour of the markets we navigated back to the same hotel to pick up a couple who by now were presumably an hour late in a 3 hour tour - again no explanations or apologies or introductions. More traffic - a few stops and ended up back within 50 meters of our hotel to start the walking component. At no stage did the guide outline the itinerary or…”

This is a definite must do with kids while in Cusco!”

“I would recommend these sites but not this specific tour. The tour guide rushed us through, did not go thoroughly through each location and gave us minimal information. What should have been 4-4.5 hour tour was over in 2.5 hours. So disappointing because the sites themselves are incredible. (We did a similar tour with a different company the day before and that tour guide gave us 4x the information)”
