The tour could not be done. The tour could not be done, at least because of the flu pandemic in Mexico.
I tried to review you before,but it seems Viator wants and needs to control everything in these reviews. So I suggest you go ahead and leave a review yourself. I’ll not be controlled by a place that I pay for a service. ! ! !
Wonderful tour, super attentive Walter Diaz, explains very well, easy to understand the language in Portuguese which made the experience even more amazing. Walter is a first-class photographer (he knows even the best points, how to stay without shadows on the faces and etc.), took photos of the whole group, individual photos, all very amazing. I highly recommend.
Fantastic service with excellence in the service provided by the guide who accompanied us Walter Diaz. Excellence in respect, ethics, commitment, punctuality, translation into the Portuguese language, unique explanation over the whole tour and history of the places visited. I recommend your work.
We took a walk in the sacred valley accompanied by guide Walter Diaz. The experience was amazing, especially by the explanations of our guide. There are many historical explanations and demonstrations. I highly recommend the guided tour by Walter Diaz.
Extremely interesting site to explore. Close to Machu Picchu and well worth the visit.
Very exciting and knowledgeable about Inca’s culture, passage is top beauty , service train also espectacular
We had a truly exceptional experience in the Sacred Valley and in Pisac thanks to Henry, our VIPAC guide. From the first moment he demonstrated a deep knowledge of Andean history, culture and traditions, explaining each place with clarity, passion and much respect.
The tour guide (Adriel) is so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved every moment of it. From the driving to the actual tour. It was magical!
Pickup schedule not respected at all. We had received an email telling us a precise pickup time from the hotel. The same day we received a message via WhatsApp telling us that the time was brought forward by 40'. All this so that in the end we only go on an excursion at the originally scheduled time. Competent and interesting guide. Sights to see also. Pisac and ollantaytambo are worth a visit. Slow pace (group of "mature" people). So to take into account. Excellent buffet for lunch. Excursion tickets not included ( 70 soles per person ) as stipulated included in the announcement.
