“Left in the hotel lobby without any communication well past pickup time. Walked to their office where they said they were not going to operate. I should cancel…told them they needed to cancel so we could get a refund. They should no respect for our time or being left out of a tour of a lifetime. We walked to another agency who booked us a private tour at a very reasonable price. Something Eco Tour did not offer.”

“Valentin is very, very knowledgable about Peru. It was so great having a guide who grew up in the Sacred Valley and knows the locals. It was so informative to learn about the day-to-day life of the Andean villages (e.g. diet, weather, economy, agriculture). If you want an in-depth and thorough understanding of this wonderful region of Peru, this is a great tour to take.”
