Increíble experiencia. Paul ha sido un gran guía, se nota que conoce muchísimo sobre este lugar del que está, además, orgulloso. Todas las preguntas que le hacíamos respondía encantado y nos ha contado todo sobre la historia de Cusco.

it was an excellent experience! Dani our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history, culture, and architecture, but also genuinely kind and helpful. After the tour, we asked him for some tips and recommendations — he was happy to help, gave us great advice, and really took the time to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he truly cares about people having a good experience in Cusco. Highly recommended!

Un gran tour por la ciudad de Cusco de la mano de Rosalia, quien con mucha calidez y ternura nos llevó por la historia de la ciudad. Terminando con una degustacion y visita a una fábrica de chocolate! Recomendado

The tour gave a great first taste of the history of Cusco, the incas, and quechua! There was a Cocora tasting included as well. Daniel is a real local soul. He knows a lot about the history and culture of the places, even took us on a 'spiritual walk' after the tour. We could admire Cusco from new perspectives by being introduced to the hidden gems of the city and got suggestions. Recommended!

I had a fantastic time during the walking tour! Our tour guide Dany really highlighted the historical significance of Cusco and welcomed us into the city. Through sharing the local gems tucked away into the city, you really get to admire Cusco in a whole new light. Strongly recommend! ¡Lo pasé genial durante el recorrido a pie! Nuestro guía turístico, Dany, nos resaltó la importancia histórica de Cusco y nos dio la bienvenida a la ciudad. Al compartir las joyas locales que esconde la ciudad, uno puede admirar Cusco desde una perspectiva completamente nueva. ¡Lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

Special Experience in Cusco My experience with Dany was a very special one during my time in Cusco. The walking tour was brilliant and it took us to many interesting places, finishing at San Blas market where we ate at a delicious stall recommended by Dany. On top of the walking tour he took us to another location where we visited a special cave, learning more about the Incas and their spirituality. We loved the tour so much that we decided to spend another day with Dany in the Sacred Valley. Dany took us to some amazing locations outside of Cusco and we even had a very special Energy cleansing session with his mother who is a Shaaman. We ate home-cooked food and saw beautiful waterfalls. The two locations we went to on this day were very special and felt rather untouristy despite still being in the Sacred Valley. Dany is very knowledgeable and a very kind person who is always willing to help or find a way to make things extra special or enjoyable. It was such a great decision this day with Dany and his mother. I really recommend The free walking tour and especially Dany has a guide.

Tarde perfecta en Cusco Fuimos a las 18, lleven agua florida y hoja de coca para la pequeña cuesta, ya que fuimos comenzando con el mirador san cristobal, recomendamos esta opcion para ver cusco con las casas iluminadas por la tarde-noche ya que aun hay luz. Despues pasamos a una cata de chocolate donde pudimos comprar con mucha suerte la vaina del cacao fresca, probar el chocolate desde el 100% hasta el 50% con leche y destacamos el chocolate con hoja de coca. Pasamos por la piedra de los doce angulos y Rosalia nos dio maravillosas explicaciones todo el tour. Recomendamos llevar abrigo para después ( 10°C temperatura) y acabamos el tour cenando en Andean Grill por recomendación de Rosalia. Una tarde perfecta!!

Excellent tour with knowledgable and friendly guide We had a fanastic tour with Dany. Very knowledgable about the city and its history, and so generous. This is a good tour if (like me) you are particularly interested in history and culture (in other words, you don't just want to see a building, but know the story behind it). You get to see some wonderful Inca architecture and walk through San Blas.

Great tour for history lovers! Paul was a great guide and very passionate about his city - which came out in his explanations of the various archeological sites. Recommend this tour if you are interested in knowing the history of Cusco! His friend even gave us free llama keychains which was a surprise treat! Though it was raining very heavily the day we did the tour, that did not reduce Paul's enthusiasm! He also altered the tour to make sure we were comfortable and shielded from the rain, when possible.

Encore merci à eux !!!
