My friend and I booked a Peruvian Tour with this agency on February 2020 and we paid 1250 USD each of us. After 1 month, due to the COVID-19 we had to cancel the tour and from that day the troubles began. They started in a fine way, they told us that they will give us the entire refund in few days. The days had passed and today February 2021 we don't have received yet the refund (neither a part of it) and they has stopped answering pour emails, calls. We don't know what to do anymore, next step is to go with the legal and we will do it. We absolutely don't recommend this agency at all to none.
