It was a beautiful day; we appreciated, in addition to the wonders of the place, the punctuality, the driver's guidance, the breakfast and lunch service, and the timing of the stops. A special note of merit to our guide Gessi, who led the day with charisma, professionalism, and cheerfulness without ever being intrusive.
Our experience though it was very cold, which we are not used to because we are from Brazil, the guide was very enthusiastic and gave us energy to accomplish the more than 5,000 meters of altitude. He welcomed and helped everyone at the same time. The driver was light more we arrived until earlier than planned. The day wasn't so good, but people make the place, so it was wonderful.
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario! Nos alegra saber que, a pesar del frío, nuestra guía logró motivarlos y hacer que la experiencia fuera especial. Será un placer recibirlos nuevamente en Perú.
Alejandro was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. We went at our own pace and saw some amazing views of Rainbow Mountain and the Andes. Breakfast and lunch were included which was an added bonus
Alejandro was a great tour guide!! He was so sweet and made sure everyone stuck together. He didn’t leave anyone behind and encouraged everyone in our group to get to the top! After he played music and gave us a history lesson on Peru. Highly recommend touring with him!!! He was so kind and understanding!!!
Con el nervio de la montaña que nos habían dicho que era muy difícil, muy fría, pero muy hermosa, Davinci y Kantu Tours nos ayudo muchísimo a sentirnos seguros y emocionados para el tour! La comida que te dan incluido esta deliciooooosa!! Fue un tour definitivamente difícil pero vale la pena! After hearing so much about how difficult, cold, but nonetheless beautiful the mountain is Davinci and Kantu Tours helped us feel safe and excited for the trip! The food they provide with the package was absolutely delicioooous!! It was definitely a hard hike but very worth it!
