More than one perspective - What made our tour truly worth the time and money was Gabriel Salazar’s exceptional knowledge of his country’s history, as well as that of others. His passion for his work is captivating, drawing you into his teachings and creating engaging conversations. This was far more than just a point-to-point tour. Gabriel took the time to answer our questions while also respecting our personal space. Additionally, Victor, our driver, ensured we traveled safely and stayed on schedule as we explored various locations. We highly recommend this tour—it will leave you with a fresh and meaningful perspective on Peru.

Whether it was exploring specific landmarks or discovering hidden gems, Sonia ensured that every moment aligned with what I wanted to see and learn.
