Fanny Pimentel2025-06-01Verified Maravilloso Linda experiencia, conocimos y disfrutamos del Cusco en toda su magnitud con historia y aventurasConocimos su cultura, tradiciones y encanto Tracy S2022-07-23Verified Fantástico viaje a Perú Fanny y Christian fueron increíblemente organizados y crearon un viaje único en la vida para mi familia y amigos (11 personas en total). Antes de llegar a Perú, tuvimos múltiples discusiones sobre lo que queríamos ver y experimentar. Crearon nuestras excursiones basadas en las conversaciones, incluida la línea de tiempo y los intereses. Fanny y Christian formaron un equipo perfecto, y realmente apreciamos lo duro que trabajaron para que esta primera visita a Perú fuera increíble. No puedo agradecerles lo suficiente. Recomiendo encarecidamente reservar su viaje a Perú con ellos. Son extremadamente eficientes y profesionales. Jennifer N2022-07-23Verified ¡TRABAJE CON ESTA EMPRESA SI VIAJA A PERÚ! Viajé con la familia de mi mejor amiga para su boda a Cusco y Pisac, Perú. Éramos ocho en total. Esta empresa es de 15 - años - propiedad del tío del marido del mismo mejor amigo Cristian y su esposa Fanny.Desde el momento en que mi grupo y yo aterrizamos en el aeropuerto (todos los días / horarios diferentes), Fanny nos recibió, tenía una mini camioneta lista y nos llevó al hotel. ¿Maleta perdida? Fanny estaba en el aeropuerto manejándolo. Todos los días acordamos un horario para encontrarnos en el lobby del hotel y Cristian o Fanny recibieron al grupo con una mini van para llevarnos a nuestras excursiones por precios increíbles. Cristian nos guió personalmente por varias ciudades, sitios e incluso paradas aleatorias. Es increíblemente conocedor del país, la comida y la negociación/compras. Tres días después, sentimos que Cristian y Fanny eran parte de nuestra familia.Ambas personas hablan un inglés increíble si el español no es una opción para ti. Después de hacer un poco de transporte público después de Machu Picchu, Cristian se desvivió para encontrarnos alrededor de las 11 p.m. metro. caminar con nosotros 1 . A 5 cuadras de nuestro hotel. También tuvo la amabilidad de ver cómo estaban otros amigos de la boda que estaban enfermos en una clínica. Además de esto, Cristian compartió una historia de cómo condujo aproximadamente 26 horas seguidas de Cusco a Lima para llevar a algunos de sus viajeros que usaban su compañía a un vuelo de última hora. ¡Este hombre está dedicado! También tiene excelentes recomendaciones de comida, ya sea que comas todo bajo el sol o seas vegano.Con todo, no puede equivocarse al elegir la compañía de Cristian y Fanny para sus guías turísticos por Perú. Definitivamente trabaja con ellos, ¡NO te decepcionará! Sé que los contactaré nuevamente si alguna vez regreso y definitivamente recomendaré esta compañía a cualquier futuro viajero a Perú.
