Do I need to have an entrance ticket for Free Tours in Cusco?
It is not necessary to purchase any entrance ticket because our free tours are conducted outside of each point of interest. Participants can return to visit any point of interest after the tour, and are subject to the fees/ticketing requirements of the site.

How long does the Free Walking Tour in Cusco last?
Our free tours last approximately 2 hours, but it is necessary to confirm with the guide before starting the tour to know exactly the duration of the tour and the itinerary.
Can the walking tour be done by seniors and/or children?
All of our free tours in Cusco are suitable for all fitness levels and age groups. Please take into account that Cusco is a city that is located more than 3300 meters above sea level, which is why time to adapt to the altitude is important beforehand if you are not accostomed to the elevation.
What kind of coat and/or clothing should I bring for the Free Walking Tour?
Each of our free tours are different and start at different times. Therefore, we recommend bringing a coat for the afternoon walking tour because the temperature drops quite drastically when the sun goes down. Cusco is a city that is more than 3300 meters high and if there is rain, (September-March) it will always be quite cold. This is why it is necessary to bring warm clothes and rain ponchos during those months regardless of the time of the walking tour. It is also essential to bring sunscreen (sunblock) because the exposure to radiation in the Andes is very high. We also recommend bringing sunglasses for eye protection.
