The tour compnay organiser AXEL TIPPE was an absolute disgrace, giving usincorrect info and telling us we were doing a day tour when we booked a 7 day. He was in Lima, we were in cusco. He gave usincorrect phone numbers to contact his rep down here, we were in tears our first day. Luckily Rosanna his rep sorted everything for us and the tour guide on the inca trail José was excellent. I would not reccomend anyone to book with axel tours unfortunately, just because of Axel really.
