This tour will begin in the morning, where your local guide will pick you up at your hotel to embark on a magical and totally cultural excursion to some of the highlights of Cusco. The tour starts at 08:00 am.
Departing from the city center in a private van, we will visit the magnificent Inca fortress of Sacsayhuaman, which can be translated as “spotted falcon” or “spotted head”.
The latter interpretation refers to the belief that the city of Cusco rose in the form of a puma whose head was the hill of Sacsayhuaman.
After Sacsayhuaman, your van will be waiting for you to continue with visits to Q’enko, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay, also located on the outskirts of the city.
Before returning to Cusco for a stop at the ‘Qoricancha’ or Inca Temple of the Sun.
We will complete the excursion with a visit to the local market, where inside the main building you will find the supply market with:
Fresh fruits and vegetables, alpaca meat, guinea pig, whole piglets, fish and seafood, groceries of all kinds.
We´ll also find small food stalls where Mom buys fresh products for a few soles
Finally, we will visit the cathedral of Cusco before we return to your hotel.

We were recommended this company by our neighbor. Ruben/Juan was great with questions and provided a lot of valuable information as I was planning parts on my own instead using a set tour, partially due to wanting to climb one of the optional peaks which you need to book months in advance. We then hit a snag with my wife’s passport and Ruben happily rearranged the tour for us even though we gave last minute notice.
Our tour guide Wagner met us where the bus dropped us of (can be arranged to pick up from your hotel as well), and we spent the next two hours learning a lot about the history of the site and he took us away from the crowds, and accommodated our photos requests. After we hung around and explored on our own until it was time to leave….

FANTASTIC!!! From start to finish! Amazing Andean Adventures was in charge for our entire 8 day trip to Peru. Every detail and pick up was perfect. Every driver and guide was great! Thank you Kivin and Joaquin for finding my camera!
There was one special guide that we will never forget. Dany met us at our hotel in Agnes Calientes and was very patient as our train was late arriving. His knowledge of the history and culture of the Incans made the tour of Machu Picchu come alive! We were fortunate to have Dany for two days, always upbeat, helpful, fun, and competent. The Cusco City Tour was also amazing with the continuing history making us feel like we were actually there in the time of the Inca rule. Magical…

We traveled to Cusco this December with a three day private tour planned with Danny. My mom had done a similar tour with Danny and recommended him/amazing andean adventures to us! Our three day adventure was pretty much perfect; danny was always early to meet us, super friendly, with great english and tons of knowledge to share about the ruins and inca historical sites we visited. He even made the rain clear up so we could get a perfect view of machu picchu after our hike. On day one we went from our hotel to various destinations in sacred valley, which I worked with the company to plan so that we would hit all the spots I wanted to. They were helpful and accommodating in building a highly individualized itinerary…
