We are very happy with what Wilson provided us, he was attentive to our outings from start to finish, and everything turned out very nice, my family and I are leaving Cusco happy and grateful.
We hired the tour with Wilson and I found it excellent. It was Renzo’s turn as a guide who explained everything to us in a great way and with great patience. We did several tours contracted with Haha tours and I recommend them 100%.
A great tour to see ruins around Cusco. Many thanks to Wilson for setting up a private tour for our 12 person group. Ellie was an awesome guide with detailed knowledge about each site… and she answered lots of off topic questions to inform us about the culture. There was even an interactive dancing session that got us all on our feet and breathless. This is a must 1/2 day tour while you are acclimating to the altitude in Cusco before you Inka trail hike. Thanks Haha trips!
