    I spent almost 3 weeks in Peru. David was our guide for 4 days. He is very prepared, kind, humorous and very informative. We had a great time with him. He always has the interests of the people entrusted to him in mind. I wish everyone a tour guide like him!

    El tour estuvo estupendo… David es un guía excelente. He is very knowledgeable about Incan traditions; he knows everything about Macchu Picchu. I cant imagine doin the Inca trail without David! Highly recommended… we planned a tour with David of the short Inca trail for two days and one night. Everything exceeded our expectations! The knowledge he has about Macchu Picchu is extraordinary.
