Very convenient in cost effective way to see Cusco. Was last minute for me after the trip to Machu Picchu canceled. Not a lot of time and you can enjoy the area.
Excellent tour!! Comfort and a good price, as well as incredible places.
A nice trip of about three hours around the city of Cuzco, with guidance, on a floor bus, stopping to explain with the Inca, with Sebastian.
It went very well for me, my family and I were happy with the activity... excellent guide... he spoke in Quechua (10).

Loved the stops, views magnificent, perfect length. The experience of the leaves ceremony was special.
Thank you, for sharing your experience with us, our circuit, is a summary of everything you will see on different tours, in the city of Cusco. Paulo is one of our best tourism guides.
This was a really nice adventure for a smaller day trip. The guide was really informative and competent and the stops were interesting (especially the one with the ceremony). You get a good view over Cusco and learn more about the city and its people. We were really happy with the experience.
We are very grateful to you for sharing your experience of our tour. It's short, but it's full of spectacular views that we achieved from our bus.
The tour was very organized; the historic sites along the circuit were absolutely stunning. The pictures online do it no justice. The experience and price point were very appealing. The guide narrated the tour seamlessly between Spanish and English. The double decker bus was clean and spacious offering spectacular views at every stop. The temperature drops quickly in the evening and the inside was nice and warm with ample seating. If you find yourself in Cusco, please book. You will enjoy yourself.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us, we removed several seats for you to go comfortable, the cleanliness characterizes us, as well as the disinfection with quaternary ammonium stayed with us since COVID-19. Our guides are well able to share with you our story, of which we are proud. We are Cusco Open Tour, the only orange buses in the city of Cusco.
I enjoyed this tour style. Each stop was cultivated well and exactly as described. I would have changed the meet up and pick up location; seems easier to keep the location the same instead of asking guests to walk an additional 1-2 blocks.
Thanks for your comment, As you can see, we only have a few minutes to board the bus, and for that we have to be together. We cannot wait at the bus stop, because other companies also use that place. Our guides are well trained. we are Cusco Open Tour, the only orange buses in the city of Cusco.
I booked this tour last minute and I was not disappointed. I didn't know how I was going to feel with the altitude on day 2 of arriving in Cusco. So I booked the morning of the trip. Excellent explanation of the capital of Inca reign.
Thank you, this is the best tour, which you can take in the city of Cusco, while acclimatizing, sitting from the bus you can enjoy the best views,
Unexpected lovely mountain tour. It was more than just a city tour. Really got in touch with the culture. Between the street corn with queso, the upfront experience with the Christo and the shaman, and the lama and alpacas. It was an absolute pleasure. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it's the best we can show our visitors, the traditional, the majestic nature of our living culture.
