Cusco Private City Tour

Our Cusco Private City Tour gives you a dedicated expert guide to explore the ancient Inca capital at your own pace. Visit the iconic Plaza de Armas, the magnificent Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun), the massive fortress of Sacsayhuaman, and the charming San Blas artisan quarter. With a private guide, you control the schedule — linger where you like and skip what does not interest you.

Your Cusco, Your Way

Unlike group tours that rush through a fixed schedule, our private experience adapts to your interests. Architecture enthusiast? Spend extra time at Qorikancha, where the original Inca stonework survived earthquakes that destroyed the Spanish church built on top. History buff? Deep-dive into the Spanish conquest at the Cathedral, home to a famous “Last Supper” painting featuring guinea pig as the main dish. Foodie? Detour to San Pedro Market for tastings of fresh juices, cheeses, and local specialties. Your guide tailors the experience to you.

Key Sites

• Plaza de Armas — The heart of Cusco, originally called Huacaypata by the Incas, flanked by the Cathedral and Church of the Company of Jesus
• Qorikancha — The most important temple of the Inca Empire, its walls once covered in sheets of gold, with four original Inca rooms of perfectly fitted stonework still intact
• Sacsayhuaman — Massive Inca fortress above the city with zigzag walls built from stones weighing up to 125 tons
• San Blas — Cusco’s artisan quarter with narrow cobblestone streets, art galleries, and workshops
• San Pedro Market — The city’s oldest market, a sensory experience with fresh produce, local cuisine, and handicrafts
• Twelve-Angled Stone — A precisely fitted Inca stone demonstrating the mastery of their stonemasonry

What to Expect

Your guide picks you up from your hotel and begins with a walking tour of the historic center — the Plaza de Armas, Cathedral, Twelve-Angled Stone, Qorikancha, San Pedro Market, and San Blas. After the walking portion, your private vehicle takes you to the Inca ruins circuit above the city: Sacsayhuaman, Q’enqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. The tour is flexible — half-day or full-day options are available depending on how much time you want to spend at each site.
