WHY OPT FOR CUSCO PRIVATE TOURS INSTEAD OF GROUP ONES

1. WHY OPT FOR CUSCO PRIVATE TOURS INSTEAD OF GROUP ONES? There is no shortage of travel companies in Cusco, the tourism capital of Peru. However, most offer generic, group tours that mostly cater to budget travelers and backpackers. This is very convenient as most travelers are looking to save as much money as possible so this works great for them. However, the more discerning traveler is looking for a different Cusco private tour due to the higher-value experience such type of tour offers. For example, a group trip from Cusco will often have about a dozen people or more in it since this is one of Latin America’s most visited city. This means that it will be impossible to request a specific stop that you may like to enjoy the views or even to use the restroom. On the other hand, a private Cusco tour will give you all the flexibility you need plus the guide/driver’s entire attention to all your questions. It is also often much safer since you are basically the one who sets the speed when driving, for example. If you feel your driver is going too fast, you can always let him/her know in order to reduce it. Booking a group tour is also a hit-or-miss experience. You may have a good guide or a terrible one. You may also have good companions or ones that make you wish you hadn’t come on vacation or holiday. While you are never guaranteed to have a ‘great’ guide by taking a private tour, the likelihood is much higher and you can be sure that the guide will do his/her best to adapt to your interests, time and personality as you will be the only customer(s) on his watch. Cost-wise, it is of course much more expensive to take a private Cusco tour than a shared/group one. But when you have invested all that time and effort to get to this part of the world, you won’t want your vacation/holiday ruined by a numerous group that does not absolutely care about your satisfaction or a guide who is so overwhelmed that is clearly wishing to finish the tour as soon as possible so he/she can go home. If you consider all the value, flexibility, attention, and safety that a Cusco private tour offers, you should definitely look for a reliable Peru tour operator that specializes in trips such as these. In conclusion, while a private Cusco tour is more expensive than a group/shared one, it is worth considering the many benefits that come with being able to enjoy the flexibility, safety and attention of a private tour.
