Una experiencia peruana única
Reservé este tour a última hora en el sitio de Viator. Pensamos que el tour era excelente relación calidad-precio. Nos recogieron en nuestro hotel. Estuve en contacto con Ronald a través de whatsup, él es muy organizado y contestado rápidamente. Nuestro guía era Yeferson. Él es conocedor, habla muy buen inglés y entregó la historia con un buen sentido del humor. Yeferson es una delicia absoluta y no podríamos haber deseado una mejor guía. Disfrutamos del viaje en barco a las islas y recomendamos este tour encarecidamente.
