Top Cusco Unique Experiences

"We couldn’t have been happier with this tour. The day started at 9:00 with a private car from Cusco to Ollantaytambo (2 hours) to pick up the train to Aguas Calientes (1 hour 45 minutes). Our driver Edgar, was really knowledgeable about the landmarks along the way and would stop anywhere to take pictures or take in the scenery…which was breathtaking! Luck for us, he was also our driver on the return trip! We boarded the train to Machu Picchu (the only way you can get there) and then the bus to the ruins where we met our guide Mario. Mario has been a tour guide at Machu Picchu for 30 years and provided remarkable insight and offered a ton of information about the history and significance of the site, as well as details about the structure itself, building materials, and the people that lived there. Really, anything you’d want to know about Machu Picchu…we were very impressed. The site itself is just magnificent. Coupling that experience with Mario’s perspective, made the tour just perfect.This tour is a full day, more than half of which is travel. Before we booked, we decided to stay the night in Aquas Calientes. Might be worth your consideration in the event you’d like to go back to the site for another look or to just break up the day. The tour company was easy to work and made sure that the train tickets were coordinated with our overnight stay.We booked several private tours for this trip (through Viator) and cannot recommend it enough. The personal attention and flexibility are worth the additional cost! Amazing!"

"A lot of fun to do this with family. Very informative and enjoyable! Venecia was knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommended!"

"Great experience overall! Well organized, well paced and plenty of time to spend in Machu Picchu. Knowledgable guide as well! Also like the fact that they pick you up at 5:30am, as oppose to 3-4am like some of the other tours do...good for sleeping in a little and being able to enjoy the day feeling more well-rested!!"

"The guide was very nice and helpful. Huayna Picchu is a difficult hike yet a great view and experience. We had very little time and this allowed us to experience Machu Picchu."

"Truly amazing. Worth the hike and effort. Carlos was excellent, food was great and the drive was comfortable. Highly recommended for all. These guys know what they are doing"

"Really enjoyed our experience with this guided tour - the animals seemed to be in great health, the introductory tutorial was helpful for all experience levels, and the guide spoke perfect English. Loved seeing the various Inca ruins and beautiful landscape. All around an awesome experience - would definitely recommend!"

"Amazing tour!|The only problem about this tour was that they confused something with our pick-up time. And we were picked up ONE HOUR later than it was appointed!|You know, we could have had 1 hour of extra sleep instead. But nevertheless, everything else was great!|On the evening before our tour, we went for a shaman blessing. It was included in the price of the tour. It was an interesting ritual, we were excited to meet the shaman! On the next day our tour started with a drive to the mountains. On our way we had a small breakfast included in the tour|Still, I would recommend to take some food with you, because the breakfast was quite light. |There are 2 options to get to the top of Vinicunca mountain: on foot or by horse. We took horses - our guide arranged everything for us, because the local horsemen did not speak English. Our guide was super helpful and friendly. The horsemen were helpful as well. They were accompanying us the whole way up and down. Note, that the hike up is quite difficult, so be prepared for a work out.|But on your way up you will enjoy great views! A true reunion with nature! |As per the weather, we had some bad luck and there was some snow on the mountain and it was very cold there. But nevertheless the view was good! The way down was much easier than the way up. On the way back we stopped for a lunch. It was also included in the tour. The lunch was great! Plenty of food and very delicious. |I will remember this day for the rest of my life! I conquered the summit of 5100 metres above the sea level! Unbelievable!"

"From the train & bus to Machu Picchu, it was a wonderful experience! My guide, Franco, met me as soon as I arrived on the train! He was very kind, courteous, & had a wealth of knowledge throughout the tour! We even ate lunch together before we had to leave! Franco, of Inkayni Tours, keep up the good job! You were the best tour guide!!!!"

"I knew I’d be tired my first day in Cusco so I decided to do this horseback riding tour. It was great! Gabriel, our guide, was very nice and knowledgeable and my horse Apu was very sweet."

"We have a great time learning how to make chocolate from the bean! We never knew how much of a process it was. We loved the chocolates we made and bought a lot to take back with use"
