Ruined our last day in Arequipa
Beware of Evans Tours Expedition. Complete letdown. Despite a WhatsApp confirmation the day before, Evans Tours failed to pick us up for our 3 am Colca Canyon tour. They were unreachable for over an hour, leaving us stranded on our final day in Arequipa. It is incredibly upsetting to miss a 'bucket list' destination due to a company's lack of professionalism. This was the only company in Peru that didn't follow through. If you want a reliable, stress-free experience, look for a different operator.

Choose another company for a tour, not trustworthy and unreachable
We needed to be ready 3 AM in the morning at our hotel, and this was confirmed especially the day before on WhatsApp with this company. They never showed up, they were unreachable, and after contacting in the morning they don't even apologize.. and after discussion we got our money back. Big advise, choose another trustworthy company to go to colca Canyon. Because this company took this experience from us because we had only one day for this...
