An excellent company, me and my wife we booked this tour and are extremely satisfied with Jose and his knowledge. Everything was just as mentioned in my itinerary. The campsites were clan and well equipped, food was super delicious. We would recommend Andes Peru to our friends and family back home.
We feel very happy and very grateful that you liked the tour and we wish to see you again very soon in Cusco. Thank you very much my dear friends.
A big thank you to this tour company and in pirticular to Jose for an excellently organised Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. Aside from how incredible the trekking and the landscape are, we found the tour to be really fascinating and Jose really contributed a lot with bringing the archealogical sites and the scenary to life through well researched meaning. All we can say is positive things about this team. We had no pressure to rush and everything was excellent.
Thank you, thank you for your wonderful recommendation, my super climber. You were a very positive group and we are very happy that you choose Andes Peru tours. we will miss you. And We will wait for your soon return.
We had an amazing time on the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu with Jose. Jose is a wonderful guide. Andes Peru is a well organised company, responsive and professional. Their service from booking to trekking guide to the transport and guide is top notch. The trek is somewhat challneging but totally worth it. It is a rewarding and rich experience. Andes Peru does a great job of sharing the beauty of this gem with its trekkers.
In this opportunity I would like to thank a very special client and we enjoyed the Salkaytay tour with you and we are waiting for you next year to go to the Inca Trail. Thank you very much once again.
