    Can this be a privately guided tour for 4 people?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2023

      Unfortunately this tour can not be done privately for just a group of 4 people. Normally for Cosmos you will need to have at least 12 people in order for this tour to be considered to be done on a private basis. Would you be interested in joining this tour on a group basis and travelling with other like minded travellers?

  • L

    Luis

    Asked on May 1st, 2022

    Would like to know if there is a transfer from/to the airport at the beginning and end of the tour? If so, is it included in the your price? If not, how much is it? Also, how much would it cost to add an extra night at the hotel in Lima at the beginning of the tour?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • CosmosOperatorWritten May 2022

      Arrival in Lima transfer is CAD 62 per person, departure from Quito is $43 CAD per person. A pre night in Lima would be $79 CAD per person, if we are able to confirm.
