Really friendly guide and cool tour. The guide explained everything and took care of all visitors. 10/10 I would definetely do it again and would advise everybody to do this tour.

Horrible communication. They confirmed with my hotel the night before and told me to wait outside from 3am-330am. I have been outside since 2:50am and they never showed up. They claimed that I didn’t confirm. I reached out to them at 3am asking if they were in their way and they said they wouldn’t be getting me. DO NOT USE AREQUIPA EXCURSIONES or Edgar.

The tour was ok, but we booked a English speaking tour for getting more from the history bus Jose, the guide we got, does not speak English at all. He wasn't able to understand our questions. He didn't make any efforts to put us in the group or give us the next meeting times... Bad guide and bad experience!

The nature was really impresive. Awesome ice cream teasting. Our guide Jose didn’t speak a word in english, although we asked for it and it even was written on the website. He couldn’t answer a question.

It was a good tour and the guide Jose was very attentive who spoke very good English and answered all questions

Pickup on time, it is a tour that is worth doing! Going to the Place where they have all the sillar is pretty cool, you get to take nice pics! But the highlight is Culebrillas, you will walk 700m amongst the rock formations, it is sand so it can be challenging specially for older people or if u have knee problems! Bring adecuate shoes! but worth it. Jose Jose the guide was awesome and patient! But very clear with time! We loved it!!!

Absolutely stunning scenery. Everything went according to plan Guide was helpful and knowledgeable Hotel in Chivay had no heat or towels

-well organized tour -friendly tour guide -fun walk through the canyon -good informative tour without too much lecturing -sillar route is pretty darn cool

I really enjoyed this tour—especially because our guide, Jose Luis, captured some pretty darn good photos of me. I loved the walk in the canyon and felt the visit to the carving area was pretty cool too. For the price it was worth it to me.

Beautiful and easy walk in the narrow canyon. Amazing sillar statues and carvings. I wish we had more time to explore the quarry.

In my opinion not worth the cost; besides that. Our guide (Freddy) was beyond phenomenal and knowledgeable of the City and it's history. It was a walking tour, as for the ATV is way cheaper to rent them directly from Willy. Willy was beyond nice, sociable. informative and great guide/host. I would contact him directly to rent the atv (Tawax Tour 51 921 342 630).

I really enjoyed the tour. The guide spoke mostly Spanish but I understood enough and she was always willing to translate for me. I’m 61, overweight and not able to do any heavy trekking but this was perfect for me. Mostly all flat surfaces and I logged over 9000 steps on my step counter. No tourist traps, no crowds of people trying to sell you things- just what I wanted: spectacular scenery, volcanoes and lots of llamas, vicuñas and alpacas. No condors unfortunately. If you want a nice quiet off the beaten path tour I highly recommend this. My only criticism is that we were supposed to be back in Arequipa at 4:00 and I had dinner plans with my husband and some friends. We didn’t get back until after six, so if you choose to go on this tour, be flexible with both pick up and return times. They are approximations.

I would recommend this trip but with a different tour operator. First I was charged breakfast while it was included. And the whole day the only thing the guide could talk about was the lunch. It was at same poor spot than breakfast and we had to decide in morning what we wanted fir lunch so it’s ready. To my surprise the lunch was at the very end of the tour after 3pm just before dropping us off (they could have dropped us and we could have decided where we wanted to eat) and then they charged us! So at 4pm after a not so good lunch in a very poor spot I was made to pay breakfast and lunch! Lunch is not included in the tour but of course the guide didn’t ne room and made us order. We of course would not have eaten there knowing we had to pay for that. Poor communication. I asked to be refunded but it was declined (they agreed to refund breakfast but was not interested if it didn’t include their lunch scam). We make booking with trip advisor who selects independent companies who hire private tour guide. Communication between these 3 parties is very poor. In the Salinas we went to a poor spot, dirty and no water. So views and photos not great. Not really aimed at pleasing customers. Guide kept on forgetting to translate some things for us in English so we didn’t get all the info. Guide just chatting with local customers at the back of van having a good time while I tried to have driver stop when we saw lamas with babies on side of road… wasn’t successful.

The drive from Arequipa is long ,I left at 6.30 am and as it’s December I needed a Hackett and a hat Lovely views of the salines and the volcanoes along the way The weather was good but cold early in the morning It is not as impressive as the Bolivian salines but it is still great Lots of Vicuñas flamingos yo he spotted
