Colca Canyon Plus

Summary: We had a 2 day trip with Giardino Tours. From Arequipa via the Andes heights (4910 m) to Chivay. Next day Condor watching on Colca Valley. On both days interesting stops at.some highlights. Our guide Maya and driver Juan made the difference. Great knowledge about the area, fun facts and lots of enthousiasm!

Summary: My family group of 4 took this Colca Canyon Tour in August, along with the other people on the tour. Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the tour and was very satisfied. The itinerary was well organized and we stopped at some really interesting places. The elevation was high at some different spots, but we were able to handle it. The driver Julio and tour guide Lucia were both excellent and very friendly. We learned a lot along the way at the different spots. We were happy with our hotel and it was very comfortable. The 2nd day we did see some Condors which was fascinating. We had a great time on this trip. Thanks Giardino Tours!

Summary: We spent two days on an excursion through Colca Canyon, staying one night at La Casa de Mamayachi, a very cozy place with incredible views. We made many stops at viewpoints and some very special towns in the area. Our guide Antonio was the one who made this experience something very fun, special, and memorable. Thank you Antonio for being so pleasant, kind, and fun. Thanks to you, we enjoyed this unforgettable experience three times as much. Lorenzo and Lourdes

Summary: We saw dozens of Condors. The weather was great which enhanced the experience. The Valley was very scenic.

Summary: We had an amazing trip. All the activities were very nice, the alpacas, hot tubs, and the spectacular Condors in the Colca Canyon. Extremely well organised and a great guide Antonio. Thank you.

Summary: Great guide and driver, Jennifer was very informative and had good English. We learned a lot about colca canyon and the communities that live there.

Summary: The experience was truly excellent, especially thanks to our guide John! Unlike the other tours we participated in in Peru, the experience with Giardino Tours was much more spontaneous. John was very well prepared on many aspects and answered all our questions. Very simple communication! Highly recommended

Summary: Very good experience with Giardino on our excursion through the Colca Valley. From the beginning, with Maca helping us with the reservation, everything was very easy and very well organized. We spent one night in Chivay and the experience was well worth it. We were lucky to go with Maya as our guide. It is clear that she has a lot of experience, likes her job, and knows the area very well. She told us a lot of things during the tour in a friendly and entertaining way, making the trip very pleasant and creating a great atmosphere in the group. Diego, our driver, was also great, very nice and conveyed a lot of safety behind the wheel. We take away a very good memory of the experience and the team. Highly recommended!

Summary: We (me, wife and 2 sisters-in-law) booked multiple tours with Giardino. I was really impressed. Everything went according to plan. We booked 5 tours. Four of them were half day tours, and the other was an overnight trip to Colca Canyon. The tours all delivered what we wanted and more. I had arranged most of the tours with Lisbet in the Arequipa Office (also Karla in Cuzco). Dealing with Lisbet made all the organising fairly straightforward. She was very responsive, and all follow-up queries were answered clearly and promptly. Johana was our guide. She was very knowledgeable, accommodating to our requests for small changes, and a pleasure to be with. All the drivers were very good, and the vehicles were more than adequate for the purpose. The only thing I'd do differently next time is book all my tours with Giardino.

Summary: Excellent experience, Rosario our guide was knowledgeable and attentive she was excellent. Go to the colca lodge option for the night stay it was great. Highly recommended!
