Incredible Colca canyon tour - Did the 2D1N tour with Giardino - amazingly well organised, my guide was Elar who was very knowledgeable and friendly, supported by our trusty driver Angel. I managed to booked the day before at the office in Arequipa after looking at a few other options in the city - whilst there were slightly cheaper options, Giardino stood out right from the go with a great front desk customer support, small tour group size, and better accomodation. Well worth the money. Itinerary was superb and you avoid most of the usual big tour buses going around to see different parts of the reserve, canyon, condor views. Accomodation also way exceeded expectations, we stayed at a cute lodge with beautiful views of the mountains and roaming alpaca.

Great 4 days - Colca Canyon Four days on the road with Herber and Juan. It was great, receiving lots of interesting information. The town tout in Arequipa. From Arequipa to the Colca Canyon, the Into the Cruz del Condor tour, Vivential tour in Coporaqu with a Peruvian family and back to Arequipa. Ask for Herber and Juan. Top.

Great guide Tadeik, personal, small group, great sights - The whole experience was lovely. We saw many places and there multiple opportunities for us to take pictures or ask the tour guide if we could stop on the side of the road for some pictures. Our guide Tadeik was very knowledgeable about the Colca Canyon and Arequipa/Peru in general.

Recommended 100% - Very good tour, with an impressive tour. You visit things other Tours don't. Very serious and organized company. With good facilities, and great staff. Special mention to our guide Maya and our driver Juan Carlos. I advise to hire this company and the tour!

Excellent choice to know the Colca Valley, its attractions and the natural spectacle of the Condors - Being two days we didn’t have to get up so early but only be ready at 6:30 am (we had been told of full days where 4 a.m. goes). We set off in a new and comfortable van from the city center to the Colca, we stopped in the forest of stones of Puruño and some places to see Alpacas, Llamas, etc. We had an excellent buffet at the Mamayacchi where we also stayed, very clean, nice and comfortable. The buffet very rich several options and at the beginning teach you to prepare a typical Peruvian dish. Then, we went to the hot springs nearby where you pay 15 suns, there is shower and changing rooms, the pools were super relaxing. The buffet dinner again very rich. On day two we left 6:40 after breakfast, stopped in a village to watch dances and the church then straight to the Cross of the Condor. We arrived in perfect time at 8am approx. and saw for an hour up to 5 condors very close, lucky. At 9:20 we started the return, there we just stopped at some viewpoints, key to have arrived in time to see the condors not having stopped there! We had a delicious buffet again on the way and finally on the detour to Puno (some tourists were going there in a longer option) we awaited another full van for just us and a couple more who were going back to Arequipa. We got home at 3:30 p.m. The guides were A1, we were the only Peruvians with many Europeans and their English was very good too.

Stay 10000/10 in La Casa de Mamayachi with Giardino Tours - Excellent experience in every way: accommodation, transportation, punctuality, tour, food, service, etc. Super-trained guides, with very good English for foreign tourists, with the best attitude, Top-rated tips and interesting facts. The hotel is beautiful, with beautiful views, located in a very central area to reach the hot springs and not have to get up early to see the condors. The food was delicious, varied and super fresh. The staff inside the hotel very friendly and helpful, made the stay very comfortable. Transport vehicles in excellent condition, very well maintained and with enough space to go very comfortable. I recommend you to stay in mamayachi's house and take the tour with Giardino. For a next opportunity I will definitely come back to stay have a longer tour and be able to continue meeting them.

Well arranged tour with all the necessary qualities - Giardino Tours provided us with a great tour through the Colca Canyon. Guide Gerben was instructive, pleasant, smooth and friendly. The driver drove smoothly, but without any risks. The transport itself was comfortable and timely. There were plenty of stops with nice views.

With Antonio and Sandro through the Colca Canyon - Antonio (Guide) and Sandro (driver) led us through the Colca Canyon for two days. We want to start by incensing these two Peruvians. Sandro: a very good and amiable driver who took no risks in the hectic Peruvian traffic. Antonio: an excellent Guide. This man knows his business. The history, the flora, the fauna, trivial facts.. He taught us everything like it was his hobby. Asking questions? Very happy even and always expert explanation. And this two-dayer was sublime. Condor spotting, Colca Canyon, spotting flamingos, soaking up local culture, learning to make causa and so on. We can now also distinguish between llama, guanaco, vicuna and alpaca. All thanks to Antonio and Sandro.
