And still got to see a lot of really cool ruins. The Pacha mama temple was rad. Jose from andes Peru tours was also really great. More knowledgeable and straightforward then some guides I've had. And he also seemed genuinely interested in making sure we didn't get sick or ripped off. Wish I had booked more of our tours with them.”

Review of Cusco Open Bus City Tour: panoramic views, Christ statue, Inca sites, bilingual guides, pricing, timing, weather, and value.

“Unfortunately I can't give this one good rating because the tour started one hour late, which affected enjoyment on return trip. As it took us on the higher elevation then Cuzco it was freezing cold and gave me sinuse infection. If it started on time we would have been back just as it was getting cooler, this way was not enjoyable at all.”
