Lo mejor de lo mejor Nuestra experiencia con Andino Peru Tours fue excelente de principio a fin. La atención, la organización de los tours, los guías y el servicio superaron nuestras expectativas. Quiero destacar especialmente a Ricardo, quien estuvo siempre atento, accesible y pendiente de cada detalle. Algo que me encantó y que considero que distingue muchísimo su servicio es que, el día antes de cada excursión, nos enviaba toda la información necesaria para el día siguiente: horario, qué esperar del tour, vestimenta recomendada, qué debíamos llevar y todos los detalles importantes para estar preparados. Esto nos dio muchísima tranquilidad durante todo nuestro viaje. Todo estuvo muy bien coordinado, siempre fueron puntuales, claros con la información y, lo más importante, cumplieron con TODO lo que nos ofrecieron. Los tours fueron increíbles y los guías excelentes, atentos y conocedores. Nos sentimos acompañados y bien orientados en todo momento. Ricardo es grandioso y definitivamente hizo que nuestra experiencia conociendo Perú fuera aún más especial. 🇵🇪❤️ Los recomiendo 100%. Si regreso a Perú, definitivamente volvería a organizar mis excursiones con ellos. ¡Gracias por todas las atenciones y por hacer de nuestro viaje una experiencia inolvidable!

Excelente experiencia Excelente experiencia con la agencia. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado y durante el viaje nunca tuvimos que preocuparnos por los traslados: siempre había alguien esperándonos al llegar a los aeropuertos y estaciones de tren, lo que nos hizo sentir muy tranquilos y en confianza. Queremos agradecer especialmente a Ricardo, quien estuvo pendiente de nosotros todos los días, siempre muy amable y explicándonos claramente cada actividad. También tuvimos excelentes guías: Hugo en Islas Ballestas y Huacachina; José en Laguna Humantay, quien nos dio muy buenos consejos para el ascenso; Guillermo en Valle Sagrado, con muchísimo conocimiento sobre la historia y cultura de Perú; Thelma en Machu Picchu, excelente guía y además nos tomó fotos preciosas; y Héctor, junto con nuestro conductor Orlandes, en la Montaña de 7 Colores, quienes nos apoyaron durante todo el recorrido. Todos fueron muy profesionales, preparados, amables y siempre buscaron que disfrutáramos cada tour de la mejor manera. Nos llevamos una experiencia increíble de Perú y sin duda volveríamos a viajar con esta agencia. Totalmente recomendada.
