Liz Karen was great with my itinerary planning. She offered good suggestions, and also tried to cut down when we went over the budget.

Lisbeth was our point of contact in Peru, and Fernando in Bolivia. Both were quick to respond when I had queries. There was a hiccup upon our arrival in Lima, but Lisbeth solved it quickly.

Overall, our tour was very smooth with no hiccups. Our pickups by the tour operators were on time, our transport vehicles were good, the drivers/guides were good.

We had some issues at the Bolivian border for visas which we did not expect. But our Peruvian English speaking guide was invaluable with his advice and help.

We had a wonderful time. Highly recommended

Lovely experience in the middle of nowhere. The walking tours were good. Carlos was our guide. He was patient, friendly, and answered our questions. Some of the walks were quite long. We had a long boat ride in the mid day heat which wasn’t that great, and weren’t prepared for.
