4.Cusco by Night: Planetarium Cusco, Dinner, and Pisco Sour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $95

Start at 3 pm with hotel pickup and a guide such as Valentin or Kenny. See Cusco’s market and Plaza de Armas, enjoy a Pisco Sour, then head to Planetarium Cusco for Inca constellations and telescope viewing before dinner. The tour lasts about five hours. Planetarium entry costs an extra $25.

“Valentin was great! I would definitely recommend this tour for people who would like to get away from the areas geared toward tourists, and who want to explore parts of the city with someone familiar with its history and people. Another plus for me was that the planetarium we went to is family-owned, and the woman in charge is such a nerd in a good way! I learned a lot and would have booked another tour with Valentin, had I more time in Cusco.”

“Excellent half-day excursion from the cruise port. No worries, the guide/bus was waiting for us when we got off the boat. Excellent guide Olinka and driver, very attentive and professional. Two parts: first by high-speed boat to Balasta Island where we saw penguins, seals, birds, and starfish—it was WOW. Then in the National Park (desert) we visited beautiful beaches. Very comfortable bus, really a very nice tour. Strongly recommend.”

The pace was great and the sunset viewpoint was beautiful:) The vendor for the music show was closed, and that was why we picked this specific walking tour so that was disappointing. Our guide recommended a local dance show for after the tour, which we attended and loved. The restaurant where we ended the tour with a pisco sour toast was very cute!”
