Excellent day - Excellent trip to Moray and Maras salt mines with a lovely stop at Cinchero textile factory and a surprise stop at a shop selling all things made with Maras salt.

Because you can get around to where you want to go efficiently - This is an efficient tour of the famous salt circle and salt fields. It also includes a salt shop and an alpaca product shop, making it a very fulfilling tour. The guide speaks both English and Spanish.

Very friendly guide - I went with my mother, who is an elderly person, and the guide was always kind in waiting for me to arrive. The views where the guide takes you in Moray and Maras allow you to take very beautiful photos of each place and accompanied by good information about each area.

Interesting but brief - We'd appreciate more time being allocated for amazing views. Half an hour for Moray site just isn't enough. We felt the Spanish speaking tourists got more information then the English speaking part of the group. We recommend full day trip to give you more time to appreciate it.

Terrible service. Don't buy anything !! - Months before I contacted the operator by email and they never responded. 5 days before the tour I wrote them and took 2 more days to respond. When they did, was only to ask me to provide with the address of my hotel. I did it. The day of the tour THEY NEVER PICKED ME UP, so I called by phone to complained why they never responded, and why never gave me any attention. He tried to send a transport almost one 1 hour later of tour time. Sh*tty service. I want my money back!!
