    I had a great time in Peru. Our guide Zema was very clear in all the activities we had for the day, very knowledgeable and experiment. The hotels were nice with AC, heaters, clean bathrooms, and comfortable bed. On the long bus ride there was many stops on the way for bathroom break, site visits, and amazing views. There were minor problems which are not relevant for an overall experience, but with the price they were easily overlooked. Again, thanks for the wonderful experience and awesome guide
