Cusco By Night - Free Walking Tour

Our Evening Tour's Main Highlights

Experience the magic of Cusco after sunset on our captivating Night Walking Tour.

Honestly the best travel agency I have encountered during my time in Peru. Marco is an incredibly warm, friendly and genuine person who truly wishes you to experience and see the real beauty that Peru has to offer. Super down to earth and available at the office to talk you through options and show you the locations you want to visit. Marco walked me through my entire trip to Amazon and made sure that everything was taken care of. Did the walking tour through Cusco with Jair and also had an amazing experience. So many interesting stories about Cusco, Peru and the Quechua people. I can only recommend joining! Would love to give 10 stars if I had the option!

Super ervaring met Jair! De tour begon met veel geschiedenis wat wel vaak interessant was maar soms nét iets teveel voor ons persoonlijk. Maar al snel ging het over tot meer informatie over local shops, restaurants die we niet mogen missen,.. en we kregen ook overal kleine cadeautjes/proevertjes. Jair is een super enthousiaste gids, je merkt duidelijk zijn passie voor de stad en de geschiedenis en hij is super aangenaam om naar te luisteren. Echt de moeite!!

Amazing tours and services! We used this company twice on our trip to Peru and both times had a top-notch experience. Highly recommend Marco and Johnito as guides - they were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and so cool! Would totally book tours with them again in the future!
