I rarely give a 5 Star. But this guy is a party animal. He totally knows to break the ice and to link all, and he has such cool local friends they all joined as well, and our night in Cusco was unforgettable. The dance clubs and the drink stops before were well chosen. Could not have ended Cusco any better

Had a great time with Walter as he brought us around the town, went to the market to try interesting fruits, and then walked up to the viaduct and viewing points. No other tour like this in Cusco!

Kinti, with support from Jason, was without a doubt the perfect guide. The Cusco bike ride was a unique combination of history, culture and everyday life. Great care was taken to ensure safety and the preparation was professional. One of the best tour experiences I've ever had. Recommended Highly.

I went with Paul and he was very informative, patient and easygoing. We ended up touring for five hours and it was a great way to see the Cusco area and get exercise at the same time. Highly recommend for people who like to be outdoors and want some exceptional views while learning about the Incas.
