Hice un tour durante dos semanas entre Perú y Bolivia, los tour a lo largo de estos dos países fueron excelentes, la atención y servicios buenos. Siempre predispuestos a la atención.

Excelente servicio. Una gran atención al detalle para que no te preocupes por nada. Nos arreglaron todos los recorridos y siempre fueron puntuales con los horarios

Inca World arranged La Paz city tour and Lake Taticaca tour. Guide Efrain is amazing and even picked us from the airport. We really enjoyed the tour.

It was a great experience, the tour guide was prepared and very helpful. Just loved the trekking with stunning site seeing's of the lakes and mountains. Highly recommend it!

La mejor experiencia con Inca World Peru. Desde que contacte con la agencia resolvieron todas nuestras dudas, nos hicieron sentir como en casa. La mejor experiencia que tuve en el maravillo pais Perú - Cusco
