Thanks Andrea!! - The Guide was very nice and attentive, foresaw the congestion of other tourists to always take us in front and on time. I expected a little more walking, but it was still a good experience, we were lucky to see the condors!!

It is worth seeing when passing by Arequipa - A very pleasant day where I could get to know more not only about the local nature, but also about the culture and events that shaped the Vale do Colca as it is today. The availability of the Guide, his excellent tips and communication made the tour one of the best I have ever participated in.

Amazing experience - From early morning with the pick up everything was well organized and punctual. Mike our tour guide was excellent with managing time and conducting the tour in English and Spanish. The watch of the condors soaring was second to none!!! Our driver was amazing and kept us safe! I highly recommend this tour!

Nice trip with guide Nelson - The tour was nice, our guide Nelson and our driver Alex was very nice. The tour is definitely recommended. A small downside is that on the way back, in our opinion, some unnecessary stops (e.g. canoe, zip line, hot springs) were made. We would have preferred to spend the time at the canyon.

Great excursion to Colca - Day trip very good overall. Our Guide Mike was great. The driving was safe, nothing to report. We remove a star for the stage of the thermal baths that we were not interested in (but looking for all the companies did), and for the restaurant that is decent without more, but a little expensive for what it is (buffet 40 soles / person not included in the Award).

False Advertisement - If you are into getting a full cultural experience then this excursion is what you are looking for. We expected to go to a restaurant for an included breakfast and lunch but we ended up going to a person's home on a farm where they served cold scrambled eggs and two pieces of dry bread. Then for lunch, we went to another person's home for a home-cooked meal which was 35 or 45 Sols a plate. We were rushed through one of the most important stops, the Condors, and missed the close-up flight of the Condors. Then we were told at the hot springs to get in and out in 40 minutes and the driver was late by 30 minutes. We spent more time at the last stop which was this person's farm home for lunch, not a restaurant, than we did on the most important stops. We were late getting in at 7:30 pm. Yes, we started at 3:00 am and ended at 7:30 pm. This also was not advertised therefore we did not know what we were getting into. The ride was bumpy, the inside of the bus was very tight and the seats were very uncomfortable for such a long tour. My advise is to be truthful with the itinerary and let the consumer decide.
