    This tour is an excellent way for someone with limited time to get the best out of Peru. Jeferson of Responsible travel, along with his local associates, are very responsive, responded to my questions very quickly. This gives me the confidence that when help is needed it will be there. That day came when I returned from Machu Picchu to Cusco. I made a mistake thinking I would get off the train at the final stop. When I realized that I texted Jeferson and his local associate, and they arranged the driver to go to the final stop to pick me up. And the driver actually arrived there BEFORE I did. They are professional and friendly.
