They were very accommodating when we needed to stop. The picnic lunch was filling and tasty - and the location was very picturesque. The folks who did the horseback riding were knowledgeable and the horses were pretty well behaved. For us, having only a couple of hours on horseback was perfect. Maras and Moray weren't all that impressive once you were there - but the stops in between and the scenery were a great way to see the area. The tour went several hours longer than planned - but I think that was due to our shopping detour in Chinchero - the guides cut nothing out - just pushed through. I would recommend this.</p>
