Erick was an awesome tour guide and left knowing more about Peru and the beautiful city of Cusco!Publicado en Google Swenja HimmelsbachTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Die Tour war sehr schnell, der Guide hat kaum gewartet und man hatte kaum Zeit, die Dinge zu sehen oder Fotos zu machen. Es wäre schön, wenn man sich etwas mehr Zeit nehmen würde.Publicado en Google Susan GodoyTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.

Ich fand die Tour mit Alci sehr lehrreich, sie hat eine Menge erklärt und so viel wie möglich über die Kultur der Stadt erklärtPublicado en Google Wilhelm KapaurerTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Wir haben bei Machupicchu Travelers zwei Ausflüge zu den Regenbogenbergen bei Cusco gebucht. Die Tour zum Palcoyo war gut organisiert. Unser Guide Jimmy gab uns zunächst eine Einführung, dann konnten wir die Regenbogenberge und den Bosque de Piedras erkunden. Wir hatten genügend Zeit dafür und mussten uns nicht beeilen. Bei der Tour zum Vinicunca wurden wir von Marcelo begleitet. Auch bei diesem Ausflug hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Wir hatten als einziges Paar der Gruppe die Tour "Montaña de 7 Colores + Valle Rojo" gebucht. Unser Guide gab uns alle nötigen Informationen, damit wir neben dem Vinicunca auch noch das rote Tal bewundern konnten.Publicado en Google beatrice cressonTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Très belle expérience, nous recommandons ++Publicado en Google George CockcroftTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Got told lots of information about Cusco but maybe a little too much and the tour seemed a bit rushed. However, you get taken around the San Blas area which is very beautiful and have a musical show done by the guide.Verificado por: TrustindexLa insignia verificada de Trustindex es el símbolo universal de confianza.
