“We had an amazing experience and loved learning more about Cusco! The pace was great and the sunset viewpoint was beautiful:) The vendor for the music show was closed, and that was why we picked this specific walking tour so that was disappointing. Our guide recommended a local dance show for after the tour, which we attended and loved. The restaurant where we ended the tour with a pisco sour toast was very cute!”
