Amazing Tour With Christian - We had so much fun on our tour with Christian. The textile demonstration was fascinating, and the salt mines and mountains were beautiful. Christian’s explanations were all very informative and clear, and he answered our many questions very well.

Fun and informative tour with Alberto - We had a lovely afternoon tour of Moray and the Salt Mines with Alberto. Alberto was very relaxed and knowledgeable, he gave exactly the right amount of information for us and answered any additional questions we had. Alberto gave us the option of stopping at Chinchero an interactive weaving workshop, which we enjoyed. The car was very comfortable. We were grateful to be accommodate ate relatively short notice.

Five Stars For Edwar - The tour covered everything we expected and more. Edwar is one of the most knowledgeable gentlemen I've ever met - he is a wealth of knowledge on the Peruvian culture and history. His English is excellent and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him in this beautiful area.

This tour was a mess. The... - This tour was a mess. The day before, the operator contacted us saying they could not pick us up at our hotel and we needed to meet them in Cusco. Our hotel was about 20 minutes from Maras and Cusco is 90 mins away so this made no sense. I clearly marked our hotel at time of booking. I pushed back and they finally agreed to pick us up at the hotel. The return to the hotel after the tour was also a mess. There was a police stop and we were told that the driver didn’t have the right paperwork and would get fined if stopped by police so we had to get an uber from the side of the road. Our tour guide was great but didn’t make up for all of the frustrating for this booking.
