5/5 stars! This tour was amazing as well as the service! + The trip organizer Jimmy communicated everything at the right time per WhatsApp. He informed me daily about what activities would take place where and what I needed to remember. + The service was excellent. I was picked up in the hotel every morning at the announced time from persons who were usually well informed about the next steps that day. Maybe twice, they just picked me up and brought me e. g. to a bus terminal without giving me instructions, but then they or me called Jimmy and we solved it. All the persons who picked me up or who were my tour guides were very polite to me. I was the only person who booked this tour at that exact time in June, so sometimes, I had my personal driver and my personal guide. I felt like a queen. + The transfer to the other cities were usually per bus and the buses were extremely comfortable. The ones from Cruz del Sur could be inclinated up to 160°, so you almost laid while sleeping. + The hotels were always located right in the center of every city, the rooms were clean and the stuff polite. + Coming from Germany, I found the nature of Peru amazing in the colder regions. Places like Machu Picchu, Valle Sagrada, Moray, the national park of Paracas etc. were absolutely beautiful and worth seeing. Negative points: - not every single city was worth seeing, e. g. if you do not want to do the Nazca Lines, you can not do anything interesting in Nazca (except the planetarium). Huacachina Oasis and Arequipa were not 100% worth it either. - - You had one day or less than that per city, except for Cusco, and you were a lot in transfer. That can be stressful for some people. On the other hand, it was great that this 15-days-tour offered so many cities to see, so these two points are not necessarily negative. ¡Muchas gracias por esta experiencia maravillosa!Show more
