“John was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. He went above and beyond what was included in the tour because he wanted to make sure we covered everything. This was especially appreciative with the government shutdown, not being able to go into some of the buildings. He even kept the interest of my kids. In fact when my daughter said she was going to start learning about The American Revolution in school, he gave her his card and told her to text or email him if she had any questions! Thanks John for such an amazing tour!”

Review of Cusco’s 2-hour historic walking tour, with Qoricancha, San Blas, Andean music, local views, and a Pisco Sour for $10.
“A enjoyable tour and great if you’ve just arrived to the city like we have. Our tour guide, Erick, was entertaining and provided us lots of good historical information, some great views of the city, tips as travellers and much more. For clarity, this is a free walking tour, but this tour effectively pre-pays the expected tip at the end. Slightly misleading, but it remains an enjoyable and useful tour and worth the payment.”

“As soon as I booked (in advance) Hady started to correspond. Which was very assuring. And answered all my questions leading up to the event. Then day off, I got a what’s app from Nagy saying he was going to be on r guide and that we will be picked up at the time that was prearranged. The driver and Nagy were extremely pleasant and spoke perfect English. They took us to the venue and had some reserved seats for us (via another guide I think) which was very very helpful cos the traffic was nuts and we would have had to stand for the performance. I would definitely use…”
