Best Hostess Agencies In Arequipa Near Me

Gustavo Cano: good place for tours

Claire Stone: We really appreciated Rulian's care, attention (and perfect English!) when advising us on booking a tour to see the Nazca lines from Arequipa. He not only booked an excellent company that we had a great experience with, but helped us book our transport to and onwards from Nazca. He checked in on us throughout the process and made sure we were in the right places along the way. A great, very honest and friendly travel agent! We would book with Rulian again for sure.

Tomer Raz: They took a really long time to get the information for the tour I wanted, but they were really patient and tried their best.

Juliette Voisard: Super excursion à la journée à la laguna de Salinas avec Cevitur ! Départ tôt le matin, petit déjeuner en route, nombreux stop avec vue sur les volcans et incroyable découverte de la laguna et de ses animaux.

sandy ch: I would highly recommend this agency. Rulian is a very professional and kind agent. He helped me and my family find comfortable flights and a comfortable stay on our vacation to Tarapoto.

Bruno VERHOEVEN: Je cherchais un guide pour aller voir des pétroglyphes. Rulian est un des rares guides a connaitre des sites alternatifs aux tours classiques. Un bon véhicule, un bon guide , je recommande vivement.

Elena Gonzalez: We did the excursion to the Colca Canyon with them. Very good experience, everything very well prepared and the cheapest prices in the area. They picked us up at the hotel and Maria, the guide, was fantastic. They are very prepared in case someone suffers from altitude sickness and they behaved very well trying to help those who got sick. Maria told us a lot about the history and the landscape and we saw quite a few things. The bus was very comfortable.

Sel Ma: Wir haben drei Tage Colca Canyon gebucht. Die Organisation war top! All unsere spezial Wünsche wurden berücksichtigt. Die Tourguids waren freundlich, hilfsbereit und pünktlich. Wir würden wieder über Cevitur buchen.

Dany: Excellent service, I took the full day tour to Colca, it was one of the best tours I took in southern Peru, the pick up was on time and the guides had all the information about the Canyon, recommended!

Radoslava Kacherilska: We booked our 14-day South Peru trip with Giardino and we are absolutely delighted! They organized everything perfectly and chose the best guides in English in every city. Most of our excursions were private, considering our personal interests and comfort. Special thanks to Antonio, our guide in Arequipa and Colca canyon, who is the best and made our trip to the canyon an unforgettable experience!

Bijou Léa: Nous avons eu l’occasion de faire le tour de deux jours au canyon de Colca ainsi que celui de Culebrillas. Dans les deux cas, cela a été une très belle expérience grâce à Antonio, son savoir, son enthousiasme, son envie de partager et sa bienveillance !Adela, qui a aidé pour l’organisation est également adorable et à l’écoute. Et se fut un plaisir d’échanger ces moments avec Julio !Merci à tous pour tous ces beaux souvenirs ! On ne peut que recommander chaudement !Pili et Léa

Weeble L: We had an exceptional tour with Giardino Tours while in Arequipa and Colca Canyon, thru to Puno. The tour was booked through the tour company so we were not sure what to expect. Both were group tours but the first ended up being just my husband and I and the colca canyon tour only had 5 people. We were lucky enough to have the same guide for both tours. Antonio is amazing. His passion, love, and knowledge of his city and country is infectious. Without Antonio it would have just been another tour. We did many tours in the two weeks we were there and Antonio was the best guide by far. We were disappointed when we had to leave us in Puno.

Carola Patricia Bellina Santti: Really SUPER RECOMMENDED, Herbert and our guide Elar are a perfect duo, I traveled with my youngest daughter of 9 years and it was a nice experience, you can see the professionalism and seriousness in their work of both people, as well as punctuality in departures and arrivals throughout the tour.I feel very satisfied to have chosen them, it's the second time I've done it and with the same company GIARDINO, I think I'm already excited for the third one hahaha,Blessings and thank you very much.

Dayana Lipe: From Giardino we would like to highlight ADELA's attention and kindness from the moment we entered the agency with the sole intention of asking questions.She was attentive to us during the whole tour at all times, always answering our questions with great kindness, and making sure that everything went as planned.Our tour was from Ica-Paracas-Nazca, and everything went perfectly.In addition to this I must highlight the work of the guides, especially ALBERTO, who was our guide in Paracas, and HILDA and the driver who accompanied her in Nazca, giving us detailed information unlike other guides from other agencies who only stick to the basics.Thank you Giardino tours!

Elize: Had an amazing trip to the Colca canyon with Giardino tours. Our guide Maya had so much knowledge about everything we saw and proudly explained us about her country and culture. Unfortunately we got sick during the trip. Our guide was really helpful and eventually called a doctor for us. She translated during his visit. We are so thankful for her help! Definitely recommend!

Chloé Cabantous: We had an exceptional experience with Giardino Tour and highly recommend to book with them in the region of Arequipa. We especially enjoyed our tours at Laguna de Salinas and Canyon del Colca with our guide Elar. Elar is a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide who gave us lots of insights on the places we visited. He is very kind and also an engaging storyteller which made the trip even more fun! Giardino Tour is a reliable agency. They are punctual, provide good recommendations and communicate effectively through whatsapp as well. Thank you for the best trip and memories in Arequipa!

Noemi Navas Alonso: A very professional Arequipa travel agency. Personalized treatment, well-prepared tours with quality guides and accommodation.Our guide Luis Ángel was great. He provided a lot of information from the first moment in a pleasant and well-founded way. It is noticeable that he prepares the excursions and adds current data and curiosities.The driver Richard was friendly and wise.

Jesús Caudeli: We visited the Colca Canyon and the experience has been great from the first moment. Carla has been watching over us before, during and after the excursion, taking care of us with great kindness and efficiency.During the tour, Luis Ángel has been a fantastic guide, he is a true storyteller full of knowledge and a sense of humor. Richard is a friendly and prudent driver. It is the first time that I have not been afraid in a vehicle in Peru!

Rafael Gaede: Fizemos o Tour Canyon Colca 2D/1N com transfer a Puno ao final do segundo dia.O valor foi de U$$ 110 por pessoa, não incluídas as refeições.O passeio foi realmente incrível, com muitas atividades, incluindo um caminhada em Coporaque ao final do primeiro dia (que não está inclusa na maioria dos passeios). A guia Olivia foi bastante informativa e simpática. O motorista dirige de forma muito tranquila e não passa dos 80Km/h. Isso realmente deve ser muito valorizado, pois os motoristas peruanos são loucos, agressivos e extremamente imprudentes. Assim, ter um motorista tranquilo é realmente muito tranqulizador.Os horários são um pouco corridos e não se consegue muito aproveitar o Hotel Casa de Mamaychi em Coporaque (que tem uma vista espetacular). Mas isso é compreensível tendo em vista o número de atividades e as distâncias envolvidas.Recomendo muito que fechem com a Giardino. Apesar dos valores as vezes um pouco mais elevados, a qualidade é realmente muito boa.Contras:- Espere gastar mais uma quantia considerável em "extras". As refeições no Hotel não são nada baratas!- Minha noiva fala principalmente espanhol e 90% dos demais turistas só entendiam Inglês. Com isso, percebemos que as explicações em espanhol acabavam sendo mais curtas ou comprometidas em alguns momentos. Portanto, se for falante de espanhol, certifique-se de que o guia falará sua língua. Ou melhor, feche um tour só com falantes de espanhol!

Veronica Carta: Abbiamo prenotato il tour di due giorni a Chivay-Canyon del Colca e ci siamo trovati benissimo! Consigliamo a tutti questa agenzia, seria e professionale. Un punto di forza è il fatto che i gruppi siano ridotti (noi eravamo 7 in tutto). Ale, la nostra guida, è stato impeccabile, puntuale e ci ha spiegato tutto con passione. E non dimentichiamo il nostro autista Richard, guida sicura (e qui non è scontato) e massima disponibilità! Bravi GiardinoTours!

Mattia DC: Wir haben die zweitägige Colca-Canyon Tour gebucht und können diese nur wärmstens empfehlen. Der Ausflug war super organisiert und unsere Reiseführerin Milagros war einfach nur fantastisch. Sie versorgte uns während den Busfahrten mit vielen Informationen über die Geschichte, Traditionen, Region, Einheimischen, Tierwelt etc... Das Tal ist wunderschön und ein Muss, wenn man in der Gegend ist. Nicht vergessen möchten wir auch unseren tollen Chauffeur Elias. Vielen Dank für das wundervolle Erlebnis!

Marianna C.: Abbiamo prenotato direttamente presso i loro uffici di Arequipa un tour privato per il giorno seguente (Ruta del Sillar y Quebrada de Culebrillas). La prenotazione è stata davvero semplice e la referente dell'agenzia è stata molto disponibile nello spiegarci lo svolgimento dell'attività e fornirci tutte le informazioni relative. Il prezzo è in linea con quello di altri tour operator organizzati per un tour privato (agosto 2022 $45 per persona). Il mattino seguente la nostra guida ci ha raggiunti in hotel insieme ad un autista dedicato. Tutto si è svolto in modo puntuale e la guida ha organizzato gli orari in modo da evitare la folla per avere più tempo a nostra disposizione. Inoltre è stata molto disponibile nel fornirci le informazioni durante la visita e anche alcuni consigli extra sulla città e sulle attività in generale. Abbiamo ricevuto acqua e uno snack durante la mattinata. In generale un buon servizio!

Mary A: I decided to hire a travel agency for Arequipa as this was the first time for my 11 year old daughter in the Andes. Best decision! We felt safe and well taken care from day one. The agency helped us with all the arrangements to make our stay relax and pleasant. In the end it was me the one suffering from altitude sickness but our tour guide had lot of experience and she helped me to go through it with love and care. We thank our both tour guides Gerbert and Olivia for being so passionate about the stories they shared, for taking care of us and for showing us Arequipa and their beautiful places. I’ll definitely recommend Giardiano tours to my family and friends.

Lena Janßen: Sehr gute Organisation und ein super Guide. Gerber hat uns total viel über die Gegend, die Tiere, das Essen und die Geschichte vom Colca Canyon erzählt. Wir haben sehr viel gesehen und gelernt. Wir würden die Tour auf jeden Fall wieder machen, danke Gerber!

Miguel Cayon Ruisanchez: Our experience with Giardino tours was unbeatable. We did 2d1n in the Colca Canyon with our guide Beti and everything was incredible. In addition, Karla was always very kind during the organization and helped us a lot with the search for transport, beyond what was contracted with Giardino tours. Thank you very much for that Karla!

Sylvain H: Our tour of the Colca canyon with Luis Angel and Julio was amazing.The size of the group is the right one and the knowledge of the guide was exactly what was needed during these 2 days.We had a lot of history on all the landscape and the inhabitants of the region as well as many tips on local traditions.Really recommend Giardino tour for tours from Arequipa.

C C: We booked our 2 days/1 night Colca Tour and transfer to Puno with Giardino Tours. Since we had our accommodation in the Colca valley already booked and wanted to transfer to Puno not directly but after some days the schedule of the tour had to be adjusted. Adela took care of everything and was checking on us frequently via our tour guide or directly via WhatsApp. We were told the names of our tour guides/taxidrivers and the pick-up times in advance and never got forgotten or were late.Giardino Tours has some companies they work with, so we did the Colca canyon tour with Colonial Tours (which was great!) (maybe it is cheaper if you book directly with them), and the transfer to Puno with another company ( forgot the name, but it was okay, since the tour guide wasn't that good and we had some delay arriving in Puno).Although the prices are higher if you compare them to the prices you can get in the city centre of Arequipa for the same tour we chose Giardino Tours because they seemed to be more professional (they have a proper office instead of being located in some tourist shop) and only had good reviews comparing to other tour operators. Since we booked the Colca tour plus the transfer we got some discount on the final price. Summarising it was a good experience and we would recommend to book with this tour operator being aware that you are paying a higher price than in other places.

Olga Ahn: we had a really great experience with Giardino tours! We did a tour to Salinas Lake.The tour guide was super professional and the service overall was excellent. Highly recommended!!!

Julien LEMARCHAND: En plein COVID, Juillet 2021 nous avons fait appel à eux pour notre mois de Tour du Monde au Pérou. Super expérience, 5 guides français, des bons chauffeurs. Bref, une belle expérience de voyage et de découverte.Super réactivité et envie de vraiment bien servir le client ! Merci encore et Viva Péru!

Jesmar Vallejo: Recommended

Alina Aparicio: I loved.!!! Top service at very reasonable prices

Raphael Sierra Calsina: Good places to visit at a comfortable price

Daniel Clemente: Broken bus in the middle of the desert, without coverage and the guide and driver collapsed without knowing what to do. We had to give the tourists water for their motors. A disaster. lost day. And money back or compensation or name it.

Javier López Barba: The worst memory of Peru was with this agency. Tour from Arequipa to Chivay that had to be 4 hours became 8 hours because the bus broke down. The agency did not order anything. The bus had to be repaired by a passenger who was a mechanic who was lucky to be a passenger. The engine burned out and the bus had no water to repair it. The passengers had to offer our water.I would not repeat with this agency without any doubt

Anna: We booked the colca canyon hike tour for 2 days. The price was very cheap with 90 sol. But don't expect any special. And don't forget a light for hike on the second day and toilet paper. The guys in the agency don't say anything to you. They said I don't need anything. The food you get is ok, nothing special.

Reynaldo VALENTIN CARRASCO: Organization that ensures good service, security guaranteeing that you. It will be well cared for.

Carlos Eduardo Barrios Neyra: Good deal

Paula: We were about to book with Colonial Tours and then found these guys and we were so glad we did. They were offering a 2 day/1 night conventional trip into the Colca Canyon for the next day, for only 70 Soles per person - by far the cheapest we could find. They offered the Hotel Maravillas which was a lovely hotel, clean with hot water and excellent WiFi, with a TV in the room as well! Everywhere else was charging at least 90 Soles for the same hotel! The minibus was comfortable, the guide was fantastic speaking in both Spanish and English, and the tour was fantastic with plenty of time given everywhere! We’d highly recommend booking with these guys.

FARIDETH VILCA: Perfect super recommended excellent service

Erchivuo: Very good

IDA Benavente: Very good attention.

Brenda Anali Tejada Esteban: Very good service, the guide is super cool and friendly

K. Vermunt: I did the Colca Trek with this organisation. Very professional company and really cool guides.

Ozan Baydere: Very bad. The driver drives like in action movies very dangerous. During the tour you have generally like 20, sometimes 10 minutes in the view points with the landscape. But in the restaurant, where they have an agreement, everyone has to wait for like 1 hour, and this is the same for all the places with an agreement. I would not recommend it! You pay a lot of money for a crazy driver and visiting restaurants and thermal with short stops on the view points (exept one long stop for 50 min).

Sara Meek: Do not order through this site. We were supposed to go to the canyon today, but nobody picked us up.

alejandro cj: Unpresentable!They have left us stranded on the day of the excursion without any response.Do not hire anything with this agency!!!They are not serious!They didn't pick us up and never answeredReally bad experience!Don't get your service please

Maurizia Masini: Ho prenotato un tour con questa agenzia. A seguito dell'emergenza sanitaria, il viaggio in Perù è stato cancellato. L'agenzia doveva rimborsarmi, attendo ormai da un anno il mio rimborso. Ho scritto molte mail e messaggi ma nessuno mi risponde. Sono davvero poco seri e inaffidabili.Service:Group tours

jan g: No answer after the payment, no confirmation! Take care!

Roma: Before booking wih them check Peru Andes' reviews, as they are the ones running the trek. Trek The Colca is just an agency.

Mark: Guide was great but the lunch and breakfast horrible

Fabiana Oliveira: Fizemos o treking de 2 dias e depois fomos directamente para Puno. Treking muito bonito, mas duro! Mas existe a possibilidade de ir de mula se for necessário. O nosso guia foi fantástico, super tranquilo e motivador, explicando várias coisas sobre o canyon, a natureza e o modo de vida dos habitantes. O alojamento é super simples, tem duas casas de banho e um chuveiro de água fria para mais ou menos 20 pessoas. Tem piscina. Tem electricidade, mas não para carregar os equipamentos eletrónicos. Tem wifi mas paga-se. A noite é fria porque está perto do rio, mas as camas tem muitos cobertores. As refeições são razoáveis, mas não em muita quantidade, o suficiente. O transfer para Puno foi confortável, com duas paragens em locais bonitos para tirar fotogtafias.

Manuel Borja: Nice hotel with good location and excellent service!

Manly Matt Schulman: Highly recommended. Although almost every hotel we stayed in on our Peru trip was a Casa Andina property, this was the best of them. The location is close enough to the center of town to be easily walkable, but out of its busiest area. It is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff was helpful and polite. As a side note, we came with rudimentary Spanish, but didn't need it here -- the staff's English was far better than our Spanish. The breakfast was impressive, even including a pleasant performance by a local musician. Our room was spotless and comfortable, and they even included a little nosh as a treat for our anniversary. Certainly a fine place to stay when you visit Arequipa.

Tanja Van Sterthem: We are a family of four (2 adolescents) and stayed 3 nights in a family room. The hotel is very well situated within walking distance from the main square and all attractions. And it is quiet, no street noise! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the breakfast really nice. We loved the inner courtyard with garden! Great value for money!!Food & drinks: Really nice breakfast

Manuel Bernales: Rooms: Excelente habitacionesFood & drinks: La comida la sirven fría. Una jalada de oreja.

Claudia Sanz Nina: A place suitable for holding events for 100 people, it has an auditorium and a fairly large patio.

Angela Hunter: This tour agency was recommended in Lonely Planet, although more expensive than other tour operators in town we couldn't fault them! Edwin was very helpful & their tours are more bespoke than others, we would highly recommend them. We did the Nature & Culture tour to Colca Canyon & it was excellent, as was our guide, Marcelo & driver, Ephraim.

Y A: We are a retired couple, and we really enjoyed receiving personal, efficient, attentive, prompt and very professional service from Mr. Edwin, the owner of Pablo Tour. We chose two-day tour plan in Colca Canyon. Every detail of the tour plan prepared by Mr. Edwin was carried out to our complete satisfaction. The tour included just the two of us, together with the excellent guide Mr. Honorio and the skilled driver Mr. Efrain, and we traveled in a comfortable, clean and well-equipped jeep. Mr. Honorio was very sensitive to our needs all along, treated us well and took care of us with great attention.The tour was instructive from a historical, social, geological, botanical and cultural point of view as well. We had a very good experience, which we will remember for a long time

Karla Olivera: We did the semi/private 2 day Colca Canyon trek. We were the only ones on the tour so it ended up being a private tour. You get what you pay for!! We had the best experience with this tour company. Their route is different from the other tours and it works!! We didn't see any other tour companies in our route. The food was good. The accommodations were perfect. We had the oasis to ourselves and we were able to spend plenty of time in the hot springs. The tour guide was punctual. He said he was going to be there at 4am and he was at the door exactly at 4am. Both the driver (Efrain) and the tour guide (Marcelo) were very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I couldn't ask for a better team. Marcelo was very patient and stopped for breaks when we needed to. Just in case you are wondering if you are physically able to do this trek, I go to the gym everyday but I do zero cardio. I only weightlift. My boyfriend does zero physical activities but he has an athletic built. I'm 43 and he is 39yo. We completed the trek with no issues. Of course it's challenging but we are so glad we did it. The views are amazing!!!I took protein bars to eat in between meals, trail mix and water. 1 change of clothes and pj's for 1 night. Bathing suit and sandals. They rent towels at the oasis and the hot springs. If it's rainy season, bring a poncho. You'll need it!! Hat and sunscreen. Walking poles. Bring a headlamp or a flaslight for the 2nd day. Bring cash if you want to get snacks or water on the way.If you are wondering about the political turmoil in Perú, we didn't encounter any protests.There was police presence in most touristy places that we visited. We felt safe everywhere we went.

Jamie Halpin: An incredible experience from start to finish climbing Volcano Misti.Reaching the summit was unforgettable and something I'd recommend to anyone. My girlfriend and I opted for a private tour which meant we could climb at our own pace.Pablo's Tours were incredibly responsive and helpful, with everything running smoothly and on time. The equipment that we borrowed (tent, sleeping bag, ski jacket and trousers, etc) was all in excellent condition.Our guide, Johan, and our porter, Harley, were first class: professional, patient and very helpful. We would not have made it without them.Highly recommended.

Simea Bachmann: Marcelo and Ulysses created a wonderful Colca-Cañon-experience for us. Well organised, equiped, attentive and informed, they tailored the hiking-tour to our needs. We definitely recommend Pablo Tours for their high-quality services.

Jesús Villar Fernández: We did the 2D/1N excursion and the experience is 100% recommendable.Marcelo is an excellent guide with whom we were able to get to know the Salinas y Aguada Reserve, do some treks that were not touristy at all, try 100% local food and enjoy the condors and viewpoints of the Colca canyon at little-traveled times.The accommodation in Cabanaconde was also excellent.

Lucia Gonzalez Contreras: The experience doing the cultural tour of the Colca with this agency was wonderful, the best choice without a doubt. 100% recommended, we would repeat without thinking about it. Special mention to our Guide Marcelo, an excellent guide.

Maciej Piekarski: Together with my wife we did the 2 day Colca Canyon trek with Marcel, one of their guides.Since it was a low season, we got a private tour but usually its up to 6 people. Marcel made everything go smooth and on schedule but at the same time let us enjoy the trek at our own pace.Going the opposite direction is definitely the way to do it. You won't get stuck in traffic with other tours and arrive at the oasis before lunch - best time to go for a swim in the pool. The climb back up on the 2nd day is less steep and covers more distance, giving you a better chance to enjoy various views of the canyon in the soft morning light.We got significantly better (and more) food than other groups and everything was included in the price (no hidden costs) which also made the whole experience better!

Víctor Sevillano: Three times as expensive as the rest of the agencies on the same street. They don't even give valid information, and they try to scare the tourist into hiring their tour, when it can be done for free, without problem. Waiky and Quechua agencies are much better!!

Pablo Villa: Excellent experience with this agency. We wanted an experience away from the typical tours and crowds as promised and it is exactly what they finally offered us. Edwin is a very close and committed person, he attended us despite booking very little in advance. Once the tour started, we met a French couple who undoubtedly added great value to the experience. Honorio, our guide during these two days. He is an absolute crack... he is a great professional, with outstanding teaching skills and a great cultural background. I hope we meet him again one day. I cannot fail to mention Vidal, a great driver and person.I definitely recommend doing the Colca tour with this agency. The price increase compared to other tours is more than justified.

Óscar Jiménez Arranz: Excellent experience! We were able to see the Colca Valley in a different way than the rest of the tours, without crowds and at our own pace. Edwin was great with us and Honorio, our guide, phenomenal doing his job and excellent in the personal treatment. I would repeat without hesitation!

Sonia Rodríguez: en el tour más el guía y el conductor. El guia inmejorable, Honorio sabe muchísimo, nos explicaba todo super bien y nos ha encantado como profesional y como persona. La ruta que hacen es genial, ves todos los sitios sin aglomeración de gente y prácticamente solos, algo que nosotros valoramos mucho. El hotel donde pasamos noche muy limpio y lindo y las comidas realizadas durante el tour también muy ricas!!! De verdad recomiendo al 100% este tour.(Translated by Google

szabó éva: I went to Pablo Tour Agency with a lot of questions and Señor Edwin gave me all of the informations I needed. He was very friendly, competent and patient. I can highly recommend to go there if you need professional advices.

Alessandro Soj: Agenzia super affidabile che permette di fare il trekking del colca senza ressa muovendosi nella direzione opposta.Un applauso particolare a Marcelo, una delle migliori guide mai incontrate nei nostri viaggi!!

angel izquierdo: Unfortunately, we coincided on many occasions with other tours, and it was impossible to escape from the great mass of tourists, despite contracting with this agency and paying almost triple to avoid it.

Eliška Michlová: I did the 2D1N colca canyon tour and for me it was 6/5 stars! The tour is a bit more expensive compared to what the rest of the agencies offer, but it’s totally worth it. Communication with Edwin when booking was very easy and straightforward and he explained everything regarding the tour when I came to pay it. Paul was a very good driver and i felt safe on the bus with him. Onorio was our passionate guide who knew a lot about the history and culture of the Colca Canyon & Valley and Peru in general and was always there for any of our questions or requests. We’ve seen and learned so many things it felt like we’ve been travelling with them for a week! We’ve seen volcano eruptions, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos and llamas. We were also very lucky to see a fox, viscachas and many condors without all the crowds, as we did different timing than the rest of the groups. Thank you very much for this unforgettable tour!

Alexander Castle: In our opinion totally worth the extra penny as it does come with severak benefits (e.g. increased chance of turning into a mostly private tour). Shoutout to our guide Marcelo, who did a superb job.

Simon Jones: The 2 day trek with Pablo Tours has been our highlight of Peru so far. Our guide Marcello was exceptional; really friendly, knowledgeable and good at keeping the group well paced with breaks. My partner and I trekked in a small group of 5, we had a great rapport with the others and had the canyon paths completely to ourselves doing the reverse route. The pools and food are included unlike other tours so you can really relax and not worry about surprise extras - definitely worth paying for!

Mariane Ponsy: Nous ne sommes pas passés par eux car leur prix sont beaucoup plus élevés que les autres.
