Cusco City Tour Half Day Overview

Through this tour, you will see the incredible mix of Inca and Spanish style buildings. The sense of the mystery the blending architecture creates is overwhelming when you first arrive in the “Archaeological Capital of South America”. It is evident that the two cultures are intimately intertwined: religion, language, customs, mentality and even dreams. This tour is a must do when visiting Cusco!

The City Tour in Cusco is a spectacular tour of the city where you can feel the magic of the Andean culture visiting the most important archaeological sites. It is an excellent alternative to get to know the city before visiting Machu Picchu or other places.

Frequently Asked Questions Cusco City Tour Half Day

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary to contract the service with a travel agency?

Yes, currently we have a much more rigid system due to the circumstances in which we find ourselves with this in mind it is important to understand that our best option is to visit the destinations in the company of a formal travel agency such as TOUR IN PERU who offers this type of security with experienced guides who will back us up at all times.

What income do I need to visit all the mentioned places?

For this adventure we consider 3 entrances:

The Partial Tourist Ticket that allows us to visit the archaeological destinations of Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Pukapukara and Tambomachay.
The entrance to the Cathedral of Cusco
Entrance to the Temple of the Sun or Qoricancha.
To facilitate the process we take care of all these details.

How is the service provided in Covid’s time?

As a formal company our main objective is that your trip is completely safe without neglecting the comfort and quality of care. Before providing the service all vehicles are properly disinfected. Likewise, at the beginning of the trip we have a temperature control, hand disinfection and we respect the distance between passengers since there is always a non-occupiable seat. For everyone’s safety, the use of a mask or chinstrap is necessary at all times, and we must also use a personal face mask during transportation.

How big is the group in shared service?

Our services have always been differentiated mainly by the personalization of the adventure, this also involves that the groups are reduced. In normal times this experience is composed of a maximum of 13 people, however with the current situation we reduce it to groups of 8 people to ensure that everyone has a direct attention with the tour guide.

 Verified Best Tour I've ever had! Américo gave us the best tour we could ask for.We  were 6 peoples, went por 10 days. He made so interesting every place we went with all the history and knowledge that he shared, so it felt different and special his treatment  instead of just going, take the picture and go. Also, the experience in the Salkantay trail  it was magical and authentic as if we were the Andean man. I was a little bit worried for my 9 y/o son because the route is of high difficulty, but Américo and his crew were very helpful  that made it very easy and pleasent for my kid, they answered all his questions and took cared of his needs. 
The food  was delicious every day of the tour and made by a private chef just for us.  In short the crew made sure to cover all our needs. 
The whole experience made me fell in love of Peru and its culture. Everyone in my family was please and happy for the amount of details and care.

I would definitely repeat this tour. It exceed my expectations. I hope i can come back and hire KuskAndes Treck for another tour.

 Verified Machu Picchu alternative trek - Inka experience Americo went above and beyond to make our experience in Machu Picchu unforgettable! We arrived to Cusco in the middle of the strikes closing the main roads and whilst many tourists ended up trapped, Americo organised an alternative route to make our trip possible. Highly recommend him!

 Verified Trek to Machu Picchu Two summers ago my two girlfriends and I did the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. It was simply the most magical experience of my life. This trek is not easy and the altitude is no joke. However, the accomplished feeling you receive when you finally catch a glimpse of Machu Picchu is unmatched and totally worth every mile climbed. We complete our trek with Terrias Vivas, and had some issues. But our guide, Americo, became like a best friend to us (it was only the three of us and the guide for our trip). I was so happy to hear that he recently opened his own trekking company because he is amazing! He is SO intelligent and can identify nearly every single flower, plant, bird, etc. that he sees. He has such a kind heart and I wish that everyone hiking the Andes had the opportunity to have him as their guide. 
In conclusion, this tour is definitely worth it. Again, Americo is incredible and I walked away with not only photos of incredible views, increased knowledge of culture and history, and full bellies but I also gained a great friend in the process!
