I was especially impressed that both our guide and our driver were women as we were 2 women traveling alone. Our guide was very informative and we were able to see parts of the Arequipa area that would have been difficult to navigate as we (unfortunately) are not fluent in Spanish. It was a wonderful half day tour!
