Our Family recommends South American Exclusive Tours Peru Enterprise - SAMEXTOURSPERU. We met beautiful places and received such a warm treatment, it seemed that we had known each other forever. Fair enough prices, no setbacks or changes of plans and punctual pickups. One of the themes that made us feel very comfortable was that the tour took place simultaneously in English and Spanish. All staff wore KN95 masks permanently and temperature control was frequent. I could only summarize this trip in two words: Happy and satisfied.
