Mercado Central de San Pedro (San Pedro Market) is one of the best places to experience the vibrancy of everyday Andean life in Cusco. This large and popular city market is where locals shop for food—there are hundreds of potato varieties and hot traditional meals—and any other household item under the sun.
We enjoyed this tour & wanted to provide a special shout-out to Robin. He was a wonderful guide, kept everyone engaged & really went above and beyond for us.
Marcelo was an incredible tour guide! He was an expert on Peruvian history and could answer every question we had in great detail. 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone! Marco was our driver, and he was very kind and careful.
This was a really great experience. Our host, Alvin, took us to parts of the city that I would have never known about if he had not taken us. He took the time to explain about the history of Cusco, and we left with a greater appreciation for the vibrant culture of Peru and Cusco!
Our guide Manuel was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about the city and culture of Cusco. The tour gave us a chance to sightsee and shop in the local market and not tourist areas.
Great tour! My husband and I were the only English speaking people on our tour. Our tour guide did an amazing job explaining the history and culture of Cusco to us. It was an awesome experience.
This was a nice intro to Cusco. We got to explore different different vantage points of the city, see various chapels, learn about the prdouce at the San Pedro market, and learn about the history of what made Cusco "Cusco". We ended the tour at Plaza de Armas, which is a beautiful square with eateries, shopping and vendors selling souvenirs.
I'm so happy I made this booking! The tour company Viajes Pacificos was extremely organized and helped relieve any of my doubts about traveling solo. When I arrived to my hotel, a representative met me at my hotel to inform me where to meet my guide later that day. I was immediately put at ease! At the tour start time, Gabriel met me at my hotel as previously promised and we began our tour. I learned so much in such a short amount of time! Additionally, Gabriel was happy to take pictures of me in each of the locations which isn't always a guarantee when traveling alone. He gave great insight and I didn't feel rushed. The tour was by van and on foot. I am super grateful for the employees at Viajes Pacificos. I couldn't have explored the places I wanted to see in Cusco without them!
