Booked the private full day tour of Cusco for my mother and me and had an amazing time! Valentin and Kenny were so knowledgeable about the cultural significance of every single stop and answered all of our questions along the way. We both learned so much about Incan culture and their way of life, and seeing the sites by ourselves just wouldn’t have been the same.
It was also our first full day in Cusco, and they went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortably acclimating to the elevation during the tour.
Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful full day tour exploring the ruins that surround Cusco. Our guide Simon was very knowledgable. He provided lots of history of the Inka empire that engaged the whole family. The tour also took us to the Cathedral and the San Pedro Market. Our driver Daniel was punctual, fun and also provided information of the places that we visited.

Valentin was one of the major reasons our group's trip to Peru was such an amazing experience for everybody. He is funny, charming, and so incredibly knowledgeable about a myriad of topics. We did three day trips with him - Cusco/Sacsayhuaman, Moray/Maras/Chinchero, and Ollantaytambo/Pisac - and he gave us such a great understanding and appreciation of Incan culture and history. He also answered every question we threw at him regarding current events, local wildlife, etc.
He is an extraordinary person who has lived a fascinating life. More importantly, he is committed to giving back to his community, raising money to support children, education, and porters across the Andes communities. I highly recommend him and his team for the experience of a lifetime.
