Profissionalismo e confiança Eu e meu marido passamos 16 dias no Peru (Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Puno e Águas Caliente). Fizemos diversos passeios com a Dreamy Tours e estou extremamente satisfeita. No dia em que pareceu que teríamos um problema, conversei na agência e foi tudo resolvido imediamente. O atendimento é muito pessoal. Estou totalmente satisfeita com a agência que inclusive, foi indicada por uma colega que também deu nota 10.
