My experience was excellent. I can’t say enough good things about it. Our CEOs Leo and Jhon Chales were exceptional and went above and beyond. They were both so knowledgeable about their country and incredibly helpful and patient. There was one quite difficult woman on our tour and the CEOs were very understanding and patient with her without taking away from our experience. We were in good hands the whole time. I would highly recommend the Inca Discovery tour to anyone!
