The meeting point didn’t seem accurate as the tour guide had to run me down the street in order to catch the bus even though I had been there for 25 minutes. However, once aboard I had a great time! Saw all the sights and had a blessing ceremony up on the mountains where you could also see alpacas and buy homemade goods. Worth the money and half day experience! Wear sunscreen however, the wind is deceiving and I got quite burnt!!

worth doing this little trip for the experience of cusco and its tourist attractions, however there is a little routine of some woman getting on the bus, distributing an aniseed flavoured liquid claiming its medicinal values in spanish and offering to sell it. The Shaman's ritual is interesting. Watch out for vicious branches in your face if you are sitting on the top

This is a good tour if you're short on time and energy. You get to view all the key sights in Cusco from the vantage point of a bus. I especially liked the local blessing ceremony. What could be better is more historical info and coverage of the monuments in Plaza de Armas, which was completely absent from the tour.
