Great scenic tour, excellent communication and on time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, answered all questions clearly. The salt terraces were so interesting.
This was a lovely day seeing Chinchero, Maras and Moray. The picnic at the very end up set up looking over the salt mines was so perfect and fun. A lot of people loved seeing our picnic and even took pics of us. Elvis was our driver and Beto was our guide, both were great and so accommodating!
