We loved the experience with Fredy, very friendly and friendly. We enjoyed the trip. The salt pans are very impressive and the visit to the textile workshops very enriching.
Very well organized from pick-up to drop-off. Everything on time. Nora, our guide, was lovely. She spoke in English and Spanish. Lots of explanations which I like. The driver was good/careful/safe. The itinerary was just right. I found the Chinchero demonstration to be educational. I wish they sold the 'natural lipstick' which they showed as I could only fit small mementos in my carrry-on. This is a good tour to take day after arriving in Cusco to help acclimatise outside of one's hotel. This is my 2nd Tour with Tarvos Peru Tour. I find them reliable. Gorki is easy to deal with and responds very fast. Thank you!

Our driver was careful/safe too. The itinerary was just right. I found the Chinchero demonstration to be educational. I wish they sold that 'natural lipstick' they showed as I could only fit small mementos in my carry-on. This is a good half day tour to do day after arrival in Cusco to help acclimatize outside of one's hotel. This is my 2nd tour with Tarvos Peru Tours. I find them reliable and Gorki is easy to deal with and responds so fast. Thank you!
