EXCELENTE A base de 145 reseñas Publicado en Tripadvisor Francisco TVerificada Excelente Tour, Recomiendo 100% Paul fue un guia excelente, sabe mucho, contesta todas las preguntas y dudas que tengas, es gran persona con muchísimo conocimiento. Recomiendo hacer este Tour 100%, como otros que también tienen por la ciudad del Cusco. Muchas gracias por la experiencia, un gran abrazo!Publicado en Tripadvisor Francesca MVerificada 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.Publicado en Tripadvisor Stella EVerificada 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!!Publicado en Tripadvisor Nikki HVerificada 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.Publicado en Tripadvisor michelle vVerificada Experiencia increíble en Cusco gracias a Dani Excelente experiencia en Cusco gracias a Dani. Desde el primer día fue muy amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Se nota que conoce mucho sobre los lugares y la historia, y además hace que todo sea más fácil y agradable. Gracias a él el viaje fue mucho más especial. Sin duda lo recomiendo a cualquiera que quiera disfrutar Cusco con un guía profesional y con muy buena energía.Publicado en Tripadvisor Franco BVerificada Inmersion en la historia de Cuzco y cultura Inca Nuestro guia Dany fue buenissimo, nos dio muchas infos y curiosidades sobre la historia Inca, y contestò a muchas preguntas tambien siempre con precision. Al final del tour nos hizo tambien una sorpresa! Super recomendado!!Publicado en Tripadvisor Hernan MVerificada Muy bueno Un genio Dani, excelente el tour y te tira tips de la ciudad que ayudan un montón. Además tiene un emprendimiento donde enseña como preparar gastronomía local, excelentePublicado en Tripadvisor Felix KVerificada It tasted really good:) Vielen Dank für den tollen Kochkurs. Es war wirklich cool und eine schöne unerwartete Erfahrung. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall tunPublicado en Tripadvisor Aashna10Verificada 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.Publicado en Tripadvisor InèsVerificada Expérience inoubliable avec Paul et Dany Kirki. Expérience inoubliable avec Paul et Dany Kirki. Paul nous a emmené faire le tour de la ville et montré les meilleures adresses pour manger, et ensuite nous sommes allées préparer du ceviche chez Dany kirki, qui était très accueillant et nous a présenté plusieurs spécialités locales. Encore merci à eux !!!
