“Testimonials”
We found this company on TripAdvisor when our attempts to book a last-minute tour of Peru through our usual channels fell through. Owner Enrique went above and beyond to look after us both before and on our 16-day Highlights of Peru tour. We had a packed itinerary and saw everything we wanted. And Enrique was “with” us every bit of the way.
Paul & Cheryl Miniato
Canada
We have just returned from the most memorable holiday in Peru.
Our holiday was faultless from the first day we were met at the airport to our departure on the 1 October. Most had excellent mastery of the English language to the extent they would tease us and tell the funniest of stories and jokes.
Sue and Geoff
Canada
We don’t usually write reviews but this tour company was just outstanding. From the moment we got off the plane to when they took us back to the airport everything went so smoothly we can not fault them in anyway. Even their price was extremely competitive.
