Small-group Cusco afternoon tour with panoramic views, San Pedro Market, Qorikancha, 12-Angled Stone, and the Cathedral, plus pickup.
“Most of this tour was spent bumping around in Cusco traffic. We went to another hotel on the other side of town presumably to pick up other passengers - they were presumably no shows but there was no explanation. After a brief tour of the markets we navigated back to the same hotel to pick up a couple who by now were presumably an hour late in a 3 hour tour - again no explanations or apologies or introductions. More traffic - a few stops and ended up back within 50 meters of our hotel to start the walking component. At no stage did the guide outline the itinerary or…”

The market tour and fruit tasting was exceptional, don’t skip that part. Then the cooking and eating adventure was just fun and delicious. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, fun, and learning about a different culture. Fabulous experience.”
Explore Belén Market and Venecia Loretana in Iquitos with local guide Marlon Ashanga, tastings, motokar rides, and floating village life.
“As a young woman traveling alone, I can attest to the safety of this tour with Marlon. He is clearly well respected by his neighbors. I had been warned by Google reviews on the Market to watch my pockets, but we were given a wide berth, no even came close to me while walking with him. I am very grateful to him for the experience he provided, it was very eye opening to get into the roots of the town and really see how the locals live. I will definitely be coming back, as well as recommending the experience to anyone I know that comes to Iquitos.”

After we made step by step each dish guided by local chef Camila Don’t miss this activity next time you are in Lima.”

Bravo Jordan tu m a fais aimé Lima et son histoire. Si un jour je reviens a Lima c est avec toi. Merci Ps : j ai détesté les catacombes car aucun respect pour les morts exposés en "art et déco" quelle honte ! et même un puits avec des restes humains déposés en cercle pour faire joli et qqs pièces de monnaies que les touristes jettes?? Ou est l intérêt culturel?”
