A great 4 hours of history and off the beaten track of the same old thing.

Published on Oct, 2024

Solid 4 hours with enough time at each location to learn and enjoy. It’s a dusty journey at the quarries - bring water, good walking shoes as it’s slippery on the sand and stones, and your camera! If you love rocks and history - this is a great value!

Decent Half Day Adventure

Published on Sep, 2024

Tour is exactly how it’s advertised! Very easy to get around and tour guides were nice. Nice trip if you only want to do a half day excursion.

Ruta Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Truly enjoyed this tour! It was nice that it was a 9am-2pm tour, not too early or late and not too long. At the end, they also give us the option to drop off at some local Peruvian food spots which was nice! The only complaint was the tour guide Cristina’s approach. She was a little pushy, a little rude and stand off is, passive aggressive. She kept almost scolding the group saying we weren’t listening and upset if we didn’t remember a specific fact when she did a pop quiz on us. She kept complaining about us to the driver saying kids were easier to deal with. At one point she even said under her breath, thanks for finally being obedient. She also appeared bothered when a couple would ask if they could take pictures at some spots. She mentioned at the beginning we’d have a stop for the bathroom/snack/etc. but we never stopped. Then we get to our first stop and she got upset that people had to use the restroom. She started to murmur under her breath and rushing us that we needed to start walking. The tour itself is so so nice!! Maybe just a different tour guide or Cristina works on her approach a little more.

Amazing experience

Published on May, 2024

Going through the Sillar route was amazing! And loved all the statues. Loved the queso helado although it was extra. Very good tour for the price and our tour guide Betsey was wonderful!
