Det började inte bra. Ingen kom till hotellet för upphämtning som avtalat. Efter kontakt med kontaktpersonen kom det efter en halvtimme en person och ursäktade sig. Men fortfarande ingen buss. En timme efter utsatt tid kom den en buss och strax efter en guide. Efter detta strul hade vi dock ett par väldigt bra och intressanta dagar. Väldigt bra guidning fin buss. Hotellet i Aqua Calientes var fint och bra. Dock luktade det starkt av mögel. Så trots en dålig start hade vi ett par fantastiska dagar.

O passeio é sensacional. Os pontos visitados são muito bons. Toda organização do passeio está de parabéns, tudo muito bem organizado. A equipe da agência é muito prestativa e deu todas orientações necessárias para que pudéssemos aproveitar tudo com tranquilidade.

Nossos guias (Ruth e Aldair) merecem mil estrelas! Foram super atenciosos, tiraram todas as dúvidas e tinham muito conhecimento. Fizeram questão de mostrar detalhes, tirar fotos e tudo o mais. A agência está de parabéns, fizeram questão de em cada locação irem até nós para se certificarem que estava tudo conforme o planejado. Quando necessário, nos respondiam por WhatsApp bem rápido. Como ponto a melhorar foi de que no Vale Sagrado o passeio está descrito com 3 visitas, mas só pudemos fazer 1. Quando foram nos buscar no hotel falaram que pelo horário que compraram o trem não seria possível realizar uma delas, que teríamos que escolher. Como tínhamos pago pelas 3 e estava no pacote, penso que deveriam ter organizado de tal maneira que tudo pudesse ter sido feito, ou nos avisado antes. Do jeito que foi, não tivemos oportunidade nem de comprar para outro dia o passeio para o local faltante.
