Fue una sorpresa, además a las 8am la ciudad estaba más vacía y pudimos disfrutar de la preciosa Cuzco y conocer el origen y cultura de la ciudad a través de sus calles.

The guide did not show up for the tour despite having messaged me 2 hours prior asking if I was attending, which I told him yes. I messaged him a few times in the chat with no response. Asked his Spanish counterpart that was waiting there if he was my guide but he said no that my guide should be here soon. I waited till 20 minutes after the start time and then the Spanish guide came to tell me my guide had canceled due to it only being me and would I like to take a later tour. NY issue is the guide messaged me before the tour he knew I was the only one then so he should have canceled at that time. Not waste my whole morning waiting for the tour fir him to not show up.
