    Cecilia From Lead Adventures was AMAZING! She worked with us - providing different choices of itineraries according to our budget and what we wanted to do or see. The Galapagos Experience was stellar! The activities in Peru were exceptional. The two weeks were packed with activities. I appreciated this because we saw and experienced so much in so little time. Doing this enabled me to pinpoint places that I would like to visit in the future for a longer length of time. Thank you for an experience of a lifetime.

    Olga

    Asked on May 13th, 2023

    My age is older than your required age range. Could you allow me to book this tour, please? My mobility is very good. I can walk at least 10 kilometers every day with 10 pounds weight on my backpack. I am planning to hike on TMB this summer. Hiking and swimming is almost my daily exercises. I also do running a jogging regularly. I am trying to bring one of my friends to join this same tour with me if you allow me to book this tour.
