Victor made our day. The tour was excellent - We were picked up on time from the hotel by Victor and driven by Sanstiano. Victor was an excellent guide, thoughtful (toilet and fluids) knowledgeable and took time to take us on a different way back to see a lake used by tourists. Victor answered all our questions and more about every day life for him and the Peruvian people.
Sabastiano was a careful driver and we felt safe with him.
The whole tour was well presented, even my husband enjoyed it! Which is saying something.
