Dear Sir/Madam

I would like to organize a full day tour in Cusco for a group of 20 people.
We would like to visit Sacsayhuaman, the cathedral, San Pedro Market, Qoricancha and the San Blas neighbourhood.
It would be great if you could include lunch and dinner at a good restaurant.
Is it possible to organize this tour? If so, how much would each person have to pay?

Yours faithfully
