Amazing adventure at Amaru Muru - The experience was amazing in particular our guide made it very special not only because of his knowledge of history and legend but also he spoke a perfect English. Also his shamanic ability in front of Amaru Muru with a ceremony empowered us with an energy and magic of the place

Great guide an excellent experience - Our guide, Samuel, was very knowledgeable of the sites and did a great job of tailoring the experience to our interests. Having a private guide was a great idea and well worth the money. He and a driver picked us up and dropped us off back at the hotel. I highly recommend this tour.

Very overpriced taxi service - My guide was very friendly and accommodating, and I appreciated his flexibility in pick-up location ( I was picked up beyond the regular pickup route), which is the only reason I am giving this tour 2 Stars. That said, I was very disappointed with the quality of this tour. I felt I had a very expensive taxi service, instead of a cultural tour guide. I was provided very very little cultural information (about as much was written in the description of this tour). I splurged on this tour because I was excited to learn about the history and culture of these sites. My guide had little knowledge of the sites, and even made up information when I asked questions ( for example he told me shelters were made to provide a resting spot for locals, but there were ruin protected by shelter...he clearly had never wakes up to these shelters before. When I asked him about it, he didn’t really say anything. I’ve booked numerous tours while being in Peru… this was the most expensive and far and away the lowest quality. Unless you want an English speaker that will drive you around and don’t really care about the history of the sites, I don’t recommend this tour.
