“The guide and transport were good the issues we had developed around the large religious content, roughly two thirds of the tour was taken up with visits to a convent and a church, these visits were interesting in themselves but as both my wife and I are atheists it WA just to much for us. I wouldn't put others of going on this tour if you have an interest in religion, just not our bag”

“This tour was really interesting and I am glad I got to see and learn about different aspects of life and history of Arequipa. One of the main reasons that I enjoyed the tour as much as I did is because Giuliana was so attentive and also very knowledgeable, making sure that everyone in the group was given as much information as possible about what we were seeing.”
