1.Historic Walking Tour with Pisco Sour and Music Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 65 reviews · 2 hours · from $10Our pick

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.”
