One of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Peru! It wasn’t overcrowded, which made the experience even more special. Our guide was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful throughout the day. The tour agency was also very responsive and handled everything professionally.
The guide was very friendly and attentive to us at all times.
Magnificent places and a well-prepared guide.
This is one of the best tours I've ever done here in cusco Peru..they look after you and keep checking on you to make sure everyone is ok and. Especially our tour guide he is the best and highly recommended and helped me when he noticed I am struggling and so patient.. He didn't even push out and patiently waited to take our time..if I come back again I will go directly to them..for those people who would like to go to cusco this is not to be missed to do it..it is way better and to reach the top is extremely worth it.
I had a wonderful experience! The complete tour was well curated.
Rahul, Thank you so much! We’re very happy to know you had a wonderful experience and enjoyed the well-organized tour.
The place is absolutely beautiful, and the big advantage is that there were very few people. It allowed us to really enjoy the scenery, take our time and live the experience to the fullest. We even had the chance to see a fox and a condor. A huge thank you to our guides, Rogelio and Jorge. Rogelio was a great guide, he even took the time to share his personal story and teach us a few words of quechua. I recommend!
Merci beaucoup ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez pleinement profité des paysages, du calme du lieu et de l’accompagnement de Rogelio et Jorge. Votre recommandation nous fait très plaisir !
