I was especially impressed that both our guide and our driver were women as we were 2 women traveling alone. Our guide was very informative and we were able to see parts of the Arequipa area that would have been difficult to navigate as we (unfortunately) are not fluent in Spanish. It was a wonderful half day tour!
<p>Excellent tour, very interesting and beautiful photo ops in different out of the way spots you probably would never get to otherwise.</p>
<p>Amazing one on one tour through the rural portions of Arequipa. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The group went over and above to provide a great experience. I would highly recommend.</p>
