Traveling around Cusco with my friends was such an amazing experience, and Paul played a huge part in that. He created a genuine connection with our group, making us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited for every adventure. His energy, sense of humor, and kindness made the trip unforgettable.

He showed us around all of the beautiful scenery and made sure our experience was personalized. I will absolutely be recommending Paul to anyone I know who comes to Cusco!Posted on Tripadvisor Mac F2026-06-14Verified Why read? Just book it! Went on a trip to Peru (Cuzco and surrounding areas) with some friends for a week and needed a guide who was friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptable. Our guide, Paul, was all of that and more with lots of experience and became a friend right off the bat. All of our experiences and excursions were made so easy with the help of Paul and team, we never had to worry. He even stopped on the way back from a trip to give us an even more authentic experience of local culture. The cost was absolutely worth my experience and I don’t feel like I overpaid whatsoever - I actually feel like I got quite the deal. This tour is great for anyone with a can-do attitude who has a sense of curiosity and adventure. Just know that Peru is at a very high altitude and you’re walking and climbing lots of stairs, so be prepared for that!Posted on Tripadvisor Nancy R2026-04-01Verified Cusco day tours Viajamos a Cusco como un grupo de 5 personas, incluyendo dos niños y un adulto mayor, y tuvimos la suerte de contar con Mariela como nuestra guía en el Valle Sagrado y Ollantaytambo.

The Importance of International Travel Insurance: Purchasing international travel insurance is essential to protect both your health and finances against unexpected situations while traveling. Travel insurance covers emergency medical expenses that are often not included in domestic health plans, while also providing assistance with repatriation, trip cancellations, and lost luggage. More than an expense, it is an investment in peace of mind.
Key Reasons to Travel Insured:
Important: Immigration Registration & Tax Exemption
It is the sole responsibility of each passenger to accurately declare the purpose of their trip to immigration authorities. The immigration stamp issued upon arrival is a key requirement, as hotels will request proof of tourist status during check-in. This documentation is necessary to qualify for applicable tax exemptions and tourism-related benefits under local regulations.
