A unique and mystical experience very well explained and guided by guide Richard who explained every detail of the tour! We were really pleased!
They charged us a little extra as we had requested a certain pick up point. But this was well communicated and agreed upon beforehand. We truly enjoyed the Amara muru portal, but the other two stops felt a little stretched out. Good guide. Very long commute time
It was excellent, the guide was fantastic and did not press anything, all at our pace. The locations were exceptional in particular AramuMuru.
100% recommend this tour. I learned so much all along the way, each stop is fascinating in its own right. It is a must do if you are in Puno.
Samuel is an amazing guide! He is very friendly, knowledgeable and shares many of the local legends and experiences that made the excursion a very memorable family trip. We highly recommend him and this tour!
My guide was very friendly and accommodating, and I appreciated his flexibility in pick-up location ( I was picked up beyond the regular pickup route), which is the only reason I am giving this tour 2 Stars. That said, I was very disappointed with the quality of this tour. I felt I had a very expensive taxi service, instead of a cultural tour guide. I was provided very very little cultural information (about as much was written in the description of this tour). I splurged on this tour because I was excited to learn about the history and culture of these sites. My guide had little knowledge of the sites, and even made up information when I asked questions ( for example he told me shelters were made to provide a resting spot for locals, but there were ruin protected by shelter...he clearly had never wakes up to these shelters before. When I asked him about it, he didn’t really say anything. I’ve booked numerous tours while being in Peru… this was the most expensive and far and away the lowest quality. Unless you want an English speaker that will drive you around and don’t really care about the history of the sites, I don’t recommend this tour.
The experience was amazing in particular our guide made it very special not only because of his knowledge of history and legend but also he spoke a perfect English. Also his shamanic ability in front of Amaru Muru with a ceremony empowered us with an energy and magic of the place
Loved the conversations with guide and driver about all the local details. Great tour. Nice way to spend the morning.

Our guide, Samuel, was very knowledgeable of the sites and did a great job of tailoring the experience to our interests. Having a private guide was a great idea and well worth the money. He and a driver picked us up and dropped us off back at the hotel. I highly recommend this tour.
<p>This was a very interesting tour though it was quite a drive from Puno. My daughter had seen something on a TV show about aliens regarding this site. She loved this tour.</p>
