Everything was better than expected! We tryed the Pisco and saw the vineyard with Jesus as our guide. He explained everything. The tour guide in the Inca dessert with Jamil was amazing, he even took beautiful pictures of us and the adrenaline with the sand car was just wow. They even pick you up with spot clean cars and respectful drivers. Thank you for everything.

Joel was awesome! We were in Peru for a week and this was the coolest experience! From just the excellent customer service & knowledge that Joel provided, to transportation, to the activities we did throughout the day - everything was flawless!
