    Can we still hike the Wild Wall if there is bad weather (i.e. rain or snow)?

    In the event of substantial rain or snow, we usually suspend trips to the Wild Wall for safety reasons. Generally, in these circumstances, we share a restored portion of the Wall with clients. We are able to accommodate last minute modifications.

    Do you offer any discounts? I read about you in Luxe Guide/on Trip Advisor. You were recommended to me by a friend.

    We very appreciate the referrals and recommendations. As a small business, word of mouth and reviews are extremely important to us. Our pricing is based on the expertise of our guides, our service standard, and our uniqueness. We are exceptionally proud of the value we offer our clients. In order to recruit and retain the best caliber of guides, we compensate our guides fairly based on their work, not on commissions from tourist shops providing kickbacks. Read more about our policy of no commissions (link). Based on our compensation model, we are unable to offer discounts on our quoted prices. It is our policy and practice to use a standardized price schedule for all our clients.
