Plunging Companies In Arequipa Near Me

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!

Elaine Rodrigues: Sensacional a história deste lugar, uma cidade dentro de outra, uma vida de clausura, somente visitando para conseguir entender.

Miguel Angel Alvarez: The Monastery keeps a part of the history of Arequipa from the viceregal era until the previous century, you can appreciate what the life of the religious women of that time was like. The buildings, paintings and objects are of high historical value, pride for the Arequipeños and Peruvians who have visited

Andrew Betts: Superbly preserved, and well explained in Spanish and English throughout. Took us 90 minutes, self guided. Huge.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …More

Philip Attukadavil: A wonderful must see place in Arequipa. An ancient but elegant monument, worth visiting. One of my favorite places in Arequipa

Manuel Martin: Must visit if you are in Arequipa

Warthongful: It was going back in time with spectacular views

German Jesus Zapata: If or if take some time to visit this place.

JANNE POVIS: !! Y sacas buenas fotitos de recuerdo !!!(Translated by Google

Piero Alarcon: Spectacular!! As everyone says, if you go to Arequipa this is a point that you should go to anyway!

Ornella: Molto suggestivo. Un tuffo nel passato. Le guide sono dolcissime e vale assolutamente la pena fare un giro con loro.

Daniela Diazgranados Ortiz: Beautiful place full of stories and culture, the only bad thing was that a guide was not very friendly, so we decided to do the tour without a guide

Senna: A great way to spend a few hours of your day, and an absolute recommendation for Antigua. The monastery is very big, and there are signs in almost every room explaining the significance of certain tools/spaces in English and Spanish. I would say you won't necessarily need a tour if you search for the info signs.The colours are lovely, and it's just beautiful all around. Perfect place to learn some history.Only downside were the prices, they are quite high at 45PEN for an adult.

Elizabeth liz: Very expensive and regular flavors of the food, I could only go back for the place

Hugo Andres Gomero Guerra: Very good attention, since I arrived. Very friendly hotel staff. The buffet breakfast service is very good as always. It is always comfortable to stay at Casa Andina.

Tino Basso: The excellent service. Everyone very attentive.The rooms could be better for a 5 ⭐.The precise location.

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.

Soledad Cunliffe: Wonderful stay. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is very nice and quiet.

Miguel Guzman: Beautiful Architecture not to be missed

Gustavo Cano: Church in good condition, large

Mayra Soria: Beautiful church, apart from its architecture, its wide spaces allow you to visualize its faith beyond the works of art. There is a Santísimo exposed and there is the image of the Lord of the Just Judge. Beautiful place to pray.

Giftzucker -: Hübsch!Die Kuppel kann man für 5 Soles/Person zusätzlich bestaunen. Da man dort nicht fotografieren darf, gibt es kostenfreie Ansichtskarten :)

Hayleen Cid: It is recommended to visit as a tourist with a guide, there is a lot of history in the paintings, the art is very beautiful as well as the construction. You can enter to tour after the masses.

Andrea Pellegrini: Visita obbligatoria a questa splendida chiesa. Tutte da vedere le varie Madonne andine con i loro preziosissimi vestiti. Annessa è la splendida Cappella di S. Ignazio. Le foto sono proibite. Limitiamoci.

Mimi Amaru Illari: Baroque architecture. Inside are paintings.

Juan Almonacid: The Company has stores and cafés, you can take a ride and shopping . A nice place

Helen Perea: Precious

LDGPJCSF: It has a Latin cross floor plan and consists of three naves, deep side chapels, a transept and a dome on pendentives. The temple and the façade, like the rest of the colonial monuments in the city of Arequipa, are made of ashlar stone, which is porous, very white, very easy to carve and the one that is best suited for ornamental work.The main facade, in mestizo baroque style, stands out as one of the masterpieces —head of the series— of South American colonial decoration. It is distinguished by treating the relief on the surface and not in depth. The main facade of the church was rebuilt in 1698 after an earthquake.Although it belongs to the second half of the 17th century, its influence extends throughout the 18th century, not only in Arequipa, but also in the Peruvian territory. The novelty that begins with this flat decoration is to use native elements. American motifs, plants, animals and resurrected themes from pre-Hispanic mythology mixed with European motifs, which cover the façade with true horror of emptiness.Inside, the main altar stands out, one of the most beautiful in Arequipa, which boasts in the central part one of the best paintings, The Virgin with the Child, by the Italian painter Bernardo Bitti, who arrived in Peru in 1575.

Liz Cornejo RJM: Place of peace and recollection. A community that serves others.

Henk Jan Grevelink: Prachtige kerk!

L James: Wonderful architecture and composition. It is definitely worth a visit, both the exterior and the interior and the cloisters of the Company that are very close.

Judith Campos: Its interior patio and its engravings on the columns are worth seeing.

Joha Ll: A very organized temple, it has several masses, they make confessions, blessings, every day

Eduardo Antonio Molinari Novoa: Beautiful place where the victory of the Hispanic culture of these parts, which is mestizo and viceroyalty, can be clearly appreciated. A must-see place to learn about history and art, and, of course, to pray in communion with the centuries.

Victor Lopez: Beautiful temple, the entrance to the polychrome chapel is essential, it looks like a tapestry!

Yichen Han: 免費入場裡面有南美洲版本最後的晚餐外觀精美壯麗值得一訪

Antonio García: Beautiful temple in the center of the "White City"
