    Ένα υπέροχο ταξίδι στο Περού από ένα πολύ οργανωμένο πρακτορείο. Οι μεταφορές, εκδρομές, οδηγοί, ξεναγοί ήταν εξαιρετικοί, καθώς επίσης τα ξενοδοχεία και τα γεύματα. Ταξίδεψα μόνη μου και σε καμία στιγμή δεν ένιωσα ανασφάλεια, όλοι οι αντιπρόσωποι του πρακτορείου ήταν πάντα δίπλα μου.

    This tour was expertly organised and was just as the brochure indicated. All the tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We often found ourselves as the only English speakers so regularly had a personal tour guide - was amazing. Would recommend Lima Tours to everyone.

    Veronica

    Asked on October 12th, 2024

    I would like to confirm if would be possible to add Nazca and Amazonas to this trip. I am interesting on going on 16th or 17th April 2025. If needed, please, mail the operator. Probably I would travel alone, and I would like to go with a group. Is possible in Spanish or just in English? I would prefer to stay in a double room with another woman of the travel group.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • LimaToursOperatorWritten October 2024

      Regarding the passenger enquiry, notice that it is possible to add the Nazca Lines flight and the amazon, but with extra days on the program. For the Nazca Lines, the passenger will have to add at leas the extra night at Paracas (2 days) and for the amazon, the Puerto Maldonado option is a good one to take from Cusco, but here is a minimum of 3-day package.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Yes, I would like to know how much is this trip with this extra days and transports. In Nazca, the flight to visit it will be included? Also the aqueduct? Could it be in Spanish? As mentioned, I would like to fly on 16th, 17th or 18th of April. I would like to receive the itinerary with the extras, please. How much the domestic flights cost? And international? Do you help with this to organize properly the schedule?

      Veronica

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Could I have a complete itinerary and price, please? For 1 person and for 2 people? I would like from 17th April, please. In Spanish much better and I would like to share the room with a person of my gender.
