Planificación y transporte óptimos. El programa y la información son muy amplios. El almuerzo fue muy bueno y suficiente. La visita a los Uros fue interesante pero casi un poco comercial. El viaje a la isla Taquille fue muy hermoso y la isla muy interesante.

Tuvimos la suerte de tener a Max como guía, una persona maravillosa y un guía apasionado y conocedor. Además de presentarnos los lugares que visitamos, nos contó mucho sobre la cultura y tradiciones de las distintas civilizaciones peruanas. Además, cuando tuvimos algún contratiempo, él estuvo inmediatamente disponible para ayudarnos y brindarnos asistencia. El transporte en autobús fue excelente y súper cómodo; Conducía Valentín, un excelente conductor y muy cuidadoso en la carretera.

We did a private tour with Richard as our guide and it was a wonderful experience. Having one on one time with him and a beautiful young family gave us an opportunity to ask questions and with his excellent English a better understanding of Peruvian life. A magical time.

Richard fue un guía maravilloso.

He leído quejas sobre que este viaje era demasiado concurrido o estaba abarrotado, etc., y no tuvimos esa experiencia porque pagamos un poco más (30 USD) para que un guía experimentado nos acompañara en un recorrido privado con un barco privado. Nuestra experiencia para 2 personas nos permitió hacerle preguntas a Richard y decidir cuánto tiempo queríamos quedarnos en cualquier lugar. Esto lo convirtió en un recorrido realmente especial. La información del guía personal es difícil de encontrar cuando se usa la aplicación. Tienes que desplazarte hacia abajo una vez que estás en la página de la experiencia y hay opciones adicionales para personalizar tu experiencia.

Richard was a wonderful guide.

09/19/2024

I’ve read complaints about this trip being too many people or crowded etc and we didn’t experience that because we paid a little more ($30 USD) to have an experienced guide shepherd us on a private tour with a private boat. Our experience for 2 people allowed for us to ask Richard questions and decide how long we wanted to stay at any location. This made it a really special tour. The personal guide info is difficult to find when using the app. You have to scroll down once you are on the experience page and there are additional options to customize your experience.

La comunidad de Uros es muy interesante aunque hoy en día ya parece como un teatro para los turistas y te quiere vender cosas industriales super caro. La caminata por la isla de Taquile es muy bonita con unas vistas preciosas. El almuerzo en el restaurante local fue fenomenal (sopa de verduras, trucha a la plancha o la omelete para los vegetarianos) – acompañado por una presentación de ropa y costumbres locales.

Solo no me gusto que en el viaje iban bebés muy chiquitos. Por una parte me parece peligroso y irresponsable por parte de los padres llevar bebés a un viaje así y por otro la agencia esta asumiendo un gran riesgo si pasa algo. Pero lo que me molesto en si es que los niños no disfrutan un tour así y tampoco dejan disfrutar a los demás viajeros. Muchas veces los padres no los saben controlar y nadie se atreve a decir nada. En este caso un niño estuvo majadero durante el viaje a los Uros y durante el almuerzo. La verdad uno trabaja mucho durante el año para coger vacaciones y no me parece justo tener que aguantar este tipo de situación.
