Very attentive to the tours with help in the programmes, especially when getting the ticket to Machu pichu if you are a vacationer who left your country without the Ticket, they disembarked with support to the city of hot waters and getting extra ticket that most agencies say they don't have on the eve plus I managed with them staying in hot waters and getting the extra night ticket in the ministry of culture
