Assessoria Surpreendente Contratamos a agência Dreamy Tours pela internet e tivemos uma assessoria incrível desde o começo do atendimento. De início fechamos o Inca Trail de 4 dias. Fomos realmente surpreendidos com qualidade do serviço prestado. O time que nos acompanhou nesta aventura era extremamente experiente e isso fez da nossa viagem ainda melhor. O nosso guia foi o Saul, um dos mais experientes e influentes guias da região, e os porteadores e cozinheiros servidores natos e muito simpáticos. Comida farta, maravilhosa e muito variada nos dias do trekking. Estrutura sempre montada antes da nossa chegada, tudo muito bem organizado. Foram dias incríveis ao lado de pessoas sensacionais.A agência também nos assessorou em passeios como Laguna Salcantay e Ilha de Uros e Taquile, e novamente nos surpreendeu com a qualidade do serviço prestado. Nós realmente recomendamos a agência Dreamy Tour. Muito obrigada Dreamy Tour, vocês fizeram da nossa viagem ao Peru ainda melhor.
