The van is quite cosy, but the longest journey you’ll do is 45 minutes, so no issues at all. Nora makes sure to give you information as you’re going along as well so that you have a good understanding of where you’re visiting. Lunch was good, lots of options for vegetarians as well.

Overall it felt like very good value for money especially including the lunch buffet which felt surprisingly luxurious actually with for example a separate ceviche corner. Really lovely. People should be aware though that the tour packs in a lot for a day which means a lot of driving during the day (so bring some entertainment) but we knew this before so it was fine! Also, we still felt like we had enough time and free time in each location, so very happy with that. Overall great…”

“This experience was well worth it. From being picked up at my hotel and driven to Calca by the very kind and informative driver Pedro, you can tell how much effort and skill Peru Private Tours puts into this workshop.
