Edward was a terrific guide . . . knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Edwin was an excellent guide to an astonishing place, the pre-Columbian ruins of the Temple of the Sun. Edwin took us to every corner of the huge excavation and explained every detail. Wonderful tour.
Excellent experience at Pachacamac. The activity was very well organized and informative. The museum does a great job of presenting the evolution of the site and the different civilizations that inhabited the area, which really helps set the context before the visit. Our guide, Sofia, was extremely knowledgeable, shared valuable historical insights, and spoke excellent Portuguese, which made the experience even better. The tour ended with a fascinating walk through the archaeological site itself. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history and culture.
Jordan is a superb guide. He is so knowledgeable, loves sharing information, and encourages questions. He used the bus ride to provide a framework of Peru’s more recent history which we all appreciated.
Jordan was an AMAZING guide! He was fun, engaging, informative, attentive, and well organized. Plans were clearly and concisely communicated beforehand. He and his driver showed up before the arrival time to be on hand for questions from folks that arrived early. The drive was entertaining and informative as he walked us through information on Peru (along with visuals!). He was attentive to needs of the group, checking in on folks and making an extra stop for a group member. He walked us through the key highlights at the museum, as well as at the archeological site. And offered to take photos! All in all, positive, proactive, informative, and fun! Thank you Jordan!
Jason was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and considerate. He looked after us very well during the afternoon tour we took with him, explaining things in detail and answering all of our questions. He was a real pleasure to be around for an afternoon and we had a great time together. I thoroughly recommend both him and this tour.
Jordan was very knowledgeable and fun. He gave us a short overview of Peruvian history in the way. It was very helpful in understanding how the different people built and used the different ruins. He made things a lot of fun also.
Jordan was an excellent guide, completely fluent in English and a happy person to talk with. His presentation en route to Pachacamac was very informative and he was glad to answer our questions. Once at the archeological park, he guided us smoothly through the museum and around the site, pointing out many details that one would otherwise miss. We did some walking but never strenuous. It was an altogether pleasant experience an we highly recommend this tour.
We received great communication from Jordan about our tour in Lima. We were on a cruise ship in Callao and there wasn't an option to get off our shuttle buses at the entrance to the port, so we're picked up at miraflores Indian market. This trip can take over 75mins, so be aware of this when booking. It took 2 hours in peak traffic and negotiating the trucks on the port... INSANE! Dianne met us at the market on time, communication through WhatsApp.. there's internet at the market. Dianne was informative and knowledgeable, and her English was easy to understand. She was patient and kept those who were anxious about getting back to the market for the ship informed about timings. I found the museum fascinating, my husband found the ruins fascinating. Win win. We went on a Saturday and the crowds were minimal. Very pleasant. Oh, and take some cash for the king Kong cake at the Cafe, exceptional. Brilliant tour
Sophia was absolutely amazing. She shared so much knowledge with me, in her wonderful communication skills that I can easily recall most of the exciting and interesting details to friends and family later on (instead of just saying vaguely "I had a great day"). The Pachacamac museum is really good, with so much details and information across all their exhibits and displays.
