Practical tips before you book
Before you meet your guide in Cusco, it helps to decide:
- Walking vs private car — distances and traffic feel different by neighborhood (Historic center).
- Ticket strategy — timed entries for headline sights should be booked early in peak months (Apr–Oct dry).
- Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
- Language expectation — ask whether German (Deutsch) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.
