5 stjerner! - We had the great pleasure of joining a guided tour in Arequipa with Giardino, and it was an experience we will never forget. Everything from the planning to the actual tour was professional, safe, and well-organized – but what truly made the day so special was our amazing guide, Lila. Lila was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Arequipa’s history, culture, and nature – she shared it all with a warmth, energy, and positivity that inspired the entire group. She was attentive to everyone’s needs, took the time to answer all our questions, and made us feel both welcome and comfortable. Her kindness and passion for her work turned the tour into so much more than just sightseeing – it felt like exploring the city with a good friend. We can highly recommend Giardino, and especially Lila, to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Arequipa. Thank you for amazing two days – we would do it again without hesitation!
