Amazing tour with Danny in Pallay Punchu. I can say with ownership that the private tour I had with Danny and the whole company, along with the private driver, was noted ten. Extremely professional, super attentive and sought-after in all the help from the start to the end of the tour. I was picked up at the hotel, as scheduled on schedule, then took me for a boosted breakfast and also had a spectacular lunch included in the tour. Peruvian food, of the highest quality. About the tour, I researched a lot before closing with any company and this one surprised me. Danny, the guide, I recommend with closed eyes, have the opportunity to visit Pallay Punchu with him. Extremely kind, requested and removed me all doubts during the journey. Up to the top of the mountain we did a classic Peruvian ceremony. He shared the story about the mountain, especially the whole journey to it as well. Of all the tours to Pallay Punchu here on TripAdvisor, I recommend this here, without a shadow of doubt, and ask to do with the guide Danny. Unique experience. I recommend!
