I had a great experience with Unu Raymi. James and Edwin planned my tour perfectly, taking care of all the details. Everything went smoothly, and I really enjoyed the trip. Highly recommend their services!
- Wonderful Peruvian South
Great tour with a lot of Highlights in a relative short time. The different tour guides were very helpfull, especially if problems came up, such as a missing hotel reservation at late night arrival for example. Some minibus drivers really scared us with their driving style, but this seems to be unfortunatelly normal un Peru. Overall we had a great time. Thanks.
