Opinion
I traveled alone and felt accompanied and safe the whole time. The groups are very small, so the attention is personalized and you enjoy each place much more. Erick, the guide, was super attentive to us; he is a very good person and makes everything flow. I definitely recommend X Travel Peru 100%.
