“Wonderful tour and great guide. The bus was very comfortable, clean, with a safe driver. I really enjoyed the stops along the way and the gorgeous scenery. The lunch stop had nice options and an incredible view of the mountains. My group was going from Cusco to Puño so it only had 3 people total. The guides speak English well, but I used this an opportunity to work on my Spanish comprehension. I highly recommend this day trip option!”
