It is worth visiting Peru and better with Vipac... - We went on a tour, Mairo welcomed us in Lima and with him we did all the excursions there. Excellent Guide, with much knowledge and greater predisposition. Then we did Cusco and Machu Pichu with Rosell, and there is nothing to add, the Best Guide I have ever had, more than excellent. The whole tour very well organized with punctuality and dedication. Thank you.

Exciting to visit the places where the Saints lived - We were very well supported by Vipac, from our arrival at the airport, until they dropped us off at the airport, including checking us in and taking us to the departure lounge. The 03 guides were very kind, punctual and polite. We were very pleased. Congratulations!! We will return to Lima with you!

Interesting proposal in Lima. - Very interesting information received, adequate times to travel and take pictures.
He highlighted the willingness, explanations and respectful treatment of Maicol, our Guide, as well as Edwin’s handling, as smooth transit is impossible and with such a large car even more.
