Cusco, also spelled Cuzco, is a city in southeastern Peru, known as the Historical Capital of Peru and former capital of the Inca Empire. You will discover the Plaza de Armas, the famous 12 Angled Stone, Loreto Street, and some of the most important streets and buildings in the city.
From the Plaza de Armas, you will walk with your guide to Koricancha (Qorikancha), the most important temple of the Inca Empire.

5.00Fantastic experience with a very knowledgeable guide! Katia has spoken with enthusiasm and passion about the local Inca culture. We really enjoyed all the beautiful places and the delicious local food. This day tour gave us a good introduction to our 6-day tour in this area. From Cusco to Machu Picchu, to Humantay Lake and the Rainbow Mountains

5.00Our private tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Leo, was truly fantastic and kind and deeply knowledgeable. He made our day not just interesting but fun, lighthearted, and authentic. He even took the time to show us a few special sites and he displayed a level of care and commitment that was truly exceptional. I highly recommend him for anyone and everyone interested in an authentic and insightful experience. He pairs extensive Incan knowledge with incredible spiritual sensitivity and he is also a record-breaking climber too! 10 stars!

5.00TreXperience provided a perfect tour of the Inca sites in and around Cusco. Their communication before the tour was exceptional, as were tour logistics during the tour. A perfect tour on an early day in Cusco to learn and understand the ways and culture of the Inca. We wish to especially acknowledge our guide, Roger Calsin. He provided a tour of exceptional value and set-up our enjoyable stay in Peru.
A perfect way to spend...

Memorable Trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu

5.00Rosmel was the reason we chose Trexperience. His diligence and prompt reply to my inquiries made me feel confident to book with the company. On the day of our arrival, our transfer to the hotel did not arrive on time. I texted him about the problem and he replied and assisted even though it was his day off. We booked a Private tour for 6d5n. Our guide - Rene was very instrumental in making our trip memorable. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he also cares about our well being. Constantly checking if we are breathing properly during our several hikes . Checking our O2 level and pulse rate and providing condor pee to inhale when needed. He is indeed a wonderful person and we are glad to have him as our guide. Our driver varies daily and they provided a safe drive and the car is spotless. Overall, you can’t go wrong booking with the company. We are very satisfied!!!!!!
Memorable visits to Sacred valley and Cusco

5.00Had an excellent experience with the private guided tour from TreXperience. Freddy was our guide and made the visit to a sacred valley and sites around Cusco most memorable. He charted out the best sites to visit given the limited time we had - one day tour for sacred valley and half day for Cusco. He explained the historical significance of the areas we visited in a Crisp and interesting manner and was very easy to work with. He kept the pace tailored to what worked with our ten year old daughter as well. Loved the experience - we will highly recommend this company and Freddy as your guide to Mae your visit to Peru more memorable

AMAZING Tour Guide - Franklin

5.00Franklin was an amazing, knowledgable, patient, emotionally intelligent tour guide. Perfect combination of information and stepping back to allow tourists to absorb and appreciate the views, sites and information. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that anyone request him BY NAME. We had him for our Cusco City Tour, Sacred Valley and the Machu Picchu mountain hike after viewing Machu Picchu and we wouldn’t have made it without his guidance, support and encouragement. Thank you for EVERYTHING! You went above and beyond far exceeding our expectations!
Great trip
