The admission fee was very fair priced for the experience.Publicado en Lorena M1 Junio 2026Verificada Excelente servicio! Sin duda no me equivoqué de elegir esta agencia, estuve una semana en Cusco con mi familia y me regreso feliz y con ganas de regresar. Son un equipo de personas profesionales en lo que hacen, puntuales, amables y sobre todo te ayudan en cualquier momento, siempre atentos. Si volvería a Cusco no dudaría en volver a contratarlos. Conozco a Ricardo hace 3 años, cuando envié a mi mamá y hermanas a conocer Cusco, una ciudad mágica y llena de historia, mi hermana tuvo dificultades en un tours (La Montaña de Colores), cayó de emergencia por el mal de altura, la llevaron a un hospital y Ricardo (trabajador de esta agencia de tours), jamás la abandonó, la acompañó, mostró empatía; para nosotros fue un gesto bonito que marcó totalmente nuestra perspectiva. En lo personal recomiendo mucho esta agencia a mis amigos y a todos en general si desean visitar Cusco y tener una experiencia inolvidable.Publicado en Emre Göllü28 Mayo 2026Verificada Discovery of Inca culture Since from our initial communication we received a positive attitude and professional approach from Ricardo through offering us concrete options to choose. Entire tour programme offered was well coordinated in terms of timing, attention and content despite our limited time for coordination. Even we succeeded to visit Machu Picchu as a unique experience. Quality of service and professionalism of Illa Kuntur as agency is highly recommended. Desde nuestra primera comunicación, Ricardo nos brindó una actitud positiva y un trato profesional, ofreciéndonos opciones concretas. El programa del tour estuvo perfectamente coordinado en cuanto a horarios, atención y contenido, a pesar de nuestro tiempo limitado. Incluso logramos visitar Machu Picchu, una experiencia única. Recomendamos ampliamente la calidad del servicio y la profesionalidad de Illa Kuntur como agencia.Publicado en John B27 Mayo 2026Verificada Great Experience in Perú Everything was great about this trip.
