Great trek! Beautiful landscapes and top meals Information sometimes difficult to understand, but the trip went very well!
The tour is very complete and we were taken to see all the places the same day. The only downside is that, as you visit several sites, there is not so much time to take advantage of each. However, we were able to have a general screenshot of each place and where there were more people, we had more time to tour and take pictures.
The tour was very interesting and you can learn a lot about the Peruvian culture in only one day. Highly recommend this tour. Tour guide was very nice and helpful as well.
Excellent walk to the Sacred Valley. As you don't need trails, everyone can do it. The guide was very good at everything. I recommend.
It was a wonderful tour! Aldo showed us a lot of the places we visited, lunch was buffet so there were vegetarian options that were very delicious! (which we were concerned about as usually on tours vegetarian lunch consists only of salads). We would definitely choose them again!
The guide was incredible, funny, professional, ready to answer each of my questions. I had an unforgettable day thanks to Arvin.
