Just hit the heart already. - I had William as my guide. He was really passionate about the history of Peru. Don't even think about going on your own. William pointed out all the little hidden details in the artifacts that I would have never seen on my own. He also tied everything together into how ancient Peruvians saw the world . The length of the tour was just right and William had my attention the entire time. One of the best tours I've ever done.
