Must see Tipon.

Ratna_V, May 2024

The original Incan ruins where they followed simple agriculture techniques was incredible. Church was closed due to renovation which was huge disappointment. Other ruins were partly closed. Tipon is a must see.

The sites were worth it, but I’d find another tour.

Carrie_S, Nov 2023

The guide was knowledgeable and we saw the sites we were supposed to see. That said, they tell you pick up is at a specific time and the expect you to be ready earlier than that. To get to the transport at the hotel we had to walk blocks through the city in the rain and my shoes were wet before the tour even began. The guide at one point refused to let me use the bathroom, when there clearly was a bathroom to use. I’m glad I could hold it, but what if I couldn’t !? The tour doesn’t say lunch is included, but we went anyway, and I couldn’t do anything about it, so I lost an hour there. They were kind and dropped me at another site on the way back, but it wasn’t out of their way. One of the highlights of the tour was a very knowledgeable and polite man who shared with us the details of how Machu Picchu was discovered. He was lovely.

Amazing and educational!

Yavanna_C, Sep 2023

The tour guides were absolutely amazing! They took such great care of us the entire time, making sure that we were taken care. This is definitely less traveled by Americans and Europeans, but it gave it a real authentic touch. The only set back was two in our group only spoke English and the tour was entirely in Spanish. We still had a great time we just thought it was going to be bilingual. The air conditioner was also minimal.

The van transport to...

Regina_S, Jun 2023

The van transport to Tipon, Piquillaqta and Andahuaylillas was fine. The tour took longer than usual. A lot of waiting because it was both in Spanish and English. It was a mixed group. If you take this tour, specify 1 language only to stay within the schedule time and enjoy other activities.

Interesting Tour of South Valley

fernjee, Jun 2023

Great tour of the South Valley! Love the bread sampling and lunch was surprisingly delicious! Our tour guide is knowledgeable and spoke English very well. The ruins and the church in Andahuaylillas are definitely worth seeing. The price is very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Great Trip

Bob_B, Feb 2022

Tipon was an incredible site! The guides brought the history to life. Well worth the time and very affordable

Descaso

marcelo_d, Nov 2024

Péssimo meio de transporte e desinformação sobre o ponto de encontro para início da excursão. Solicitei um ponto de encontro e não fui atendido corretamente. No segundo passeio simplesmente perdi pois não me foi informado onde poderia me encontrar com o grupo

Trop d’arrêtés imposés qui ont rendu cette visite pénible et visite des sites trop courte

Najma_A, Sep 2024

Le timing de départ a été relativement respecté (ce qui n’est pas tjs le cas lors des tours au Pérou) ce qui est positif. La guide nous a exposé le programme de la journée à savoir visite de Tipon, Pikillaqta et l’eglise de Andahuaylillas. Elle évoque en option la visite d’un musée a côté de l’église ainsi que la pause lunch jusque là aucun souci. Les visites des sites étaient assez rapides car en // de cela la guide nous a fait faire de nombreuses pauses qui n’étaient absolument pas décrite dans le descriptif de l’annonce du tour. Nous nous sommes arrêtés une fois pour écouter un archéologue nous parler du Machu Picchu ( c’était très intéressant) ensuite pour acheter du pain, ensuite à ce musée qui finalement n’était plus optionnel mais plutôt imposé. Nous avons été voir un « musée » sans grand intérêt ensuite s’en est suivi une intervention d’un homme pour nous pousser à acheter des bijoux (aucun intérêt) nous ne sommes même pas entrées voir l’église. Bref vous comprendrez que ce tour aurait pu être bien mais les nombreuses arrêts imposés et a but mercantile on rendu cette visite pénible.
