“Hyame was excellent as a tour leader. We only had a few hours in Cusco before heading off to do the Macchu Picchu trek. This was a great tour to get a glimpse of some sites that were too far to walk to, especially when needing to adjust to the high altitude. Her English was good and responded to questions well. I was well-pleased with this last minute booking and would have missed out on many Cusco treasures without booking it.”

We met at the entrance of Machu Picchu, after we combined by whatsapp. The Guia Diego is very experienced and provided an incredible experience, with explanations and made our beautiful photos. We think that without a guide the visit would lose a lot.Auto-translated”

Cusco: Historic Walking Tour with Pisco Sour and Music Show - From the Cathedral to the Company of Jesus: seeing Cusco’s mix of eras

4.Historic Walking Tour with Pisco Sour and Music Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 65 reviews · 2 hours · from $10Best value

2-hour Cusco historic walk from Plaza de Armas to Qoricancha and San Blas, ending with Andean music and pisco sour tasting.

“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.”

“I did a solo trip to Cusco, and on the first day in the city I knew I wanted to do something that wasn't too exhausting, considering the early morning flight arrival and needing to get acclimated to the altitude. After a failed attempt at the free walking tour during the day, I decided to opt for this. By far a better decision. Spend the day exploring the city and sites on your own. Having a night tour was an excellent way to see a different side of the city with a local. The other that were supposed to be part of the tour apparently were sick from the altitude…”
