We had an absolutely amazing time exploring Peru with „Giardino Tour Operator“. Karla was our agent and she was incredible. She was so responsive and helpful, and she made sure that we had everything we needed for our trip.
We booked a 16-day tour that included all of the major highlights of Peru, such as Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and the Colca Canyon. Every day was a new adventure, and we had such great tour guides. They were all knowledgeable and passionate about Peru, and they really made our trip special.
„Giardino Tour Operator“ also offers everything really transparent and with all prices. This was really important to us, as we didn't want any hidden surprises. We were really happy with the value for money that we got from our trip.
We would highly recommend „Giardino Tour Operator“ to anyone planning a trip to Peru. They are a great company with excellent service. We had the time of our lives, and we can't wait to go back!

My husband and I just did the Colca Canyon with them with a transfer to Puno in two days and I couldn't have chosen better. The incredible service, ease of booking, Karla always listened to me very kindly and tried to help me with everything, and great professionals in charge, especially the work of our guide, Antonio, and the excellent driving for so many kilometers in a country so improvable in driving as Peru, Derly was fantastic, I never had to worry about his driving, giving the trip extra peace of mind. Thank you very much to everyone but especially to Antonio and Derly for making this experience an indelible memory.

We can only say good things about our experience on the 2-day Colca Valley Tour with Giardino Tours, both Maximo our driver and especially Brian made our experience unique. Brian was charming and super friendly!
He took us to less crowded places, he made sure that we were all well all the time, and he also has a brutal knowledge of the area!!!
We saw vicuñas, alpacas, llamas, flamingos, condors very close, and a lot of other fauna!
The hotel was super good and the places we ate were also good food and service.
We recommend it 100%

The Tour of the Colca Valley was led by guide Luis Angel and driver Maximus. We were on the road for two days from Arequipa via the Colca Valley to Puno as our final destination. Luis Angel is an experienced guide, knows a lot, has humor and always looks out for his group. What was special about him was his estimate of when we should be at the Cruz de Condor. When he gave the green light, we got out of the van and sure enough, the first condors flew in front of us.
Furthermore, Maximus has proven himself as an experienced driver that made you feel safe on the Peruvian roads.

We booked the 2D1N Colca valley tour in conjunction with the 2D1N Lake Titicaca tour with homestay. For the Colca valley tour we got different options for hotels, from cheaper medium quality to more expensive high end places. We took a location with own hot spring which we did not regret at all. We absolutely loved the homestay at Amantani island. To connect both trips, the company arranged a transfer for us from Chivay to Puno. Guides are very professional and go above and beyond to deliver what was sold to us. Transportation was very safe.
Would certainly recommend and use them again if I would go back to the Arequipa area.
One point of attention: I booked directly with their backoffice via e-mail and Whatsapp and communication can be delayed on Saturday pm and on Sunday as they are closed for the weekend.

What a wonderful experience! This is my second tour with this company and it was excellent. We had great weather this time around so we had fun in the hot springs and riding a zip line in the Corporaque Area. Our tour guide, Brian was very nice. We appreciated his knowledge about the local people and the wildlife in the Colca Area. The driver was safe and Timely and was able to connect the other travelers to their other destinations. It was an excellent trip overall and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested.

An incredible experience with Antonio (Guide) in Colca and Sillar. A unique patience since I was with 4 small children and a lot of good vibes. They were always punctual and communication in every way. Also, since my children suffered from some altitude, I had to change the tour on the 2nd day for something calmer (I had to go to Salinas) and with all the kindness there were no problems with the change. I am very grateful for your attention. It is not the cheapest, but I think that excellent service has a value and Giardino is 100% worth it.

We had a 3 day trip Arequipa-Colca valley-Puno, with Giardino Tours. Most of 2 days spent in the Andes seeing the natural reserve, the village Chivay and Pata Pampa. Second day was looking at the stunning Colca Canyon and finding the famous condors. We had the most fantastic guide and driver with us, who made this trip far better than we could ever have imagined. The guide Ramiro Aragon and the driver Derly. They always provided an excellent service to make us feel comfortable and we felt safe during the whole trip. Their enthusiasm, knowledge and attitude during the whole trip, gave us an excellent memory for life. Thank you very much Ramiro and Derly.
We certainly recommend hiring Giardino Tours, going to Colca canyon and the Andes, we would recommend requesting Ramiro and Derly as the crew.

Simply the best travel agency in Perú!!! We are Bulgarian travel operator and we have been working with Giardino Tours for nearly 20 years now, we are organizing with them group tours in all of Peru: Lima, Ballestas, Nazca, Arequipa, Colca canyon, Puno y Lago Titicaca, Cuzco, la selva (Puerto Maldonado) and even the North. Every time the service has been exceptional – they are always ready to help and are very quick to react! And we have to keep in mind that such long tours (usually 2 weeks) have many aspects: hotel reservations, bus transportation, domestic flights, guides, boats, trains, entry tickets for Machu & Huayna Picchu, etc. They have been doing an amazing job for 28 years now! Happy birthday to Giardino as I understand that today is the date the company was founded! Thank you again for evertyhing!!! Spacil thanks also to Paola, who is our agent! She is always doing a perfect job!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my tours with Elar from Giardino. I had a half day tour of Arequipa and Elar explained more to me about the history of the town and the significance of buildings, or the meaning of carvings in the stone.

The following day, we started a 3 day (2 night) tour to Colca. Elar and my driver were ver patient at helping me in and out the minibus (I have a mobility impairment so this was really appreciated).

Although I’m not good at walking, Elar made sure I saw the highlights of the valley and canyon in an accessible way for me. Watching the condors gliding over the valley was a memorable and magical experience which I was glad I had the chance to see.

I also learnt a lot from Elar about the pre-Inca populations, the Inca empire and the Spanish conquest which helped me understand more about Peru today.

Thanks to Giardino for making this tour work fit me and for enabling me to really enjoy Colca.
