5.00The tour operator was excellent and so helpful in providing information. We needed and they changed our pick up arrangements at the last minute. Felipe, the guide, was delightful. His mother advised him if you are going to be a guide be the best guide. He is and she must be proud. He was so full of information, great company and attentive to our needs.

5.00Felipe was AMAZING to put it simply. He kept us engaged and entertained during transit and did an excellent job explaining the surrounding areas and what we were about to experience. He made the museum interactive and really walked us through the history and timeline of the civilization. It was a very warm day in our visit so he thought to stop for water and refreshments prior to walking the ruins and even had the van drive us to certain spots which really helped. Both Felipe and the driver were extremely personable and made the entire experience great! I really learned so much about the history and the people of this great country!
