Une agence a fuir au regard de la qualité des service, de l’absence de communication et surtout de l’absence de ponctualité et de sécuritéPublicado en Google François LECLAIRJunio 21, 2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Je ne recommande pas cette agence qui n’est pas sérieuse. N’annonce pas tous les frais et surtout ne donne aucune information pour le retour. Elle n’a jamais rien voulu savoir et a mis notre parole en doute En retard à l’aller et en retard au retour A fuirPublicado en Google Claudia De JongJunio 18, 2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Lisandro took us around Machu Picchu on a private tour. We were just with 2 persons and him as the guide. Liked it very much, being private. Easier to listen to the things he tells us than being in a group. He told lots of information and knew all the right places for the perfect photo. Unfortunately not the best weather, but we had a great time!
