Faultless, honestly. Finishing in Taste Andean was the perfect ending. The photos taken by our team members throughout the experience was better than I expected. The show held our attention throughout, genuinely high standard. If only every tour were run like this.

Speechless

Just brilliant. The guided pairings with wines, beers, or tropical drinks was much appreciated. The live musicians take the evening up a level. Taste Andean has a very special atmosphere. Not the cheapest, but justified. An experience worth every minute.

Almost perfect

It delivered, though I expected a bit more for the price. We flagged a vegetarian in the group and they sorted it without fuss. Booking was straightforward and confirmation came through instantly. The only thing is that the pre trip information could be clearer about the meeting point.

We enjoyed it

Really enjoyable, though there is room for improvement. Punctual and smooth, no hiccups. Not the cheapest, but justified. We really enjoyed the Taste Andean part. If anything, the free time felt short at some stops. Worth it, knowing the above.
