Must do in Arequipa!
We had a fantastic time with Julio. He picked us up promptly from our hotel and we started by going to 2 beautiful viewpoints. He then took us to Mundo Alpaca, followed by a city tour ending in the Santa Catalina monastery. Throughout the day, Julio gave us great insights and information about everything we were seeing and he also took some great photos of us. We feel that this tour gives you a great overview of Arequipa and it's very well organized and executed. Highly recommended.

A must do activity if you want to get know more for Arequipa and the history
We had a fantastic trip through Arequipa thanks to our guide Julio. I highly recommend his service. We learned many interesting facts for the city and the history that we would miss for sure if we just had a walk by our own. Thank you!

Perfect for getting to know Arequipa
I can't imagine a better way to get to know a city with its many sights than with a personal guide. Our guide Julio was perfect in every respect. Immediately after picking us up from the airport, he took us to viewpoints of the city and the surrounding area on the drive towards the city center. His English was excellent and communication and conversation were guaranteed. The guided tour on foot through the city center with its various tourist destinations and his competent knowledge of all the places visited was impressive.
So everything was perfect all around and definitely recommended.

Super insightful guide
I went with this tour because of the strong reviews and after having done it with a friend, I can honestly say it's even better than I expected. JULIO is amazing, has a rich knowledge of history and culture of the city and country, and is so thoughtful in providing really interesting info because he understands the people he is guiding. This is one of the best guides I've experienced and highly recommend Julio.

This tour is a MUST when visiting Arequipa! Perfect tour!
This was by far the best tour I think I will ever experience! Julio is so knowledgeable not only about Arequipa, but about EVERYTHING Peruvian history and politics and architecture and art and so much more!
My flight arrived to Arequipa at 8:30 am and Julio picked me up from the airport and showed me beautiful viewpoints from which I could see the three tall mountains and the valley. Then, I got to feed and pet alpacas and llamas! I also learned about vicuñas and the different wool types and saw how they process the wool.
I learned about the pre- and post-colonial history of the area, and Julio explained how the Spanish incorporated Incan mythologies and lore into the carvings of the various cathedrals. The architecture was so beautiful! We explored the Plaza de Armas and then he took me to the Santa Catalina Monastery.
What a gorgeous monastery! The tour guide there, Celia, took me on an hour-long tour of the life of the nuns within the walls of the monastery. Celia was so full of wonderful information and answered all the questions I had even before I could ask them! :)
It’s hard to pick a favorite part to this incredible day! We ended on a highlight - the Museo Santuarios Andinos. There, Julio described the Incan culture and rituals, and I got to see the beautifully preserved frozen Inca girl “Juanita”. I learned all about the Incan lifestyle - foods, clothing, textiles, rituals, art, metallurgy - that scientists gleaned from studying her remains.
This was an amazing tour all around Arequipa! Julio is the best guide and is so full of information and is so passionate about it and is so easy to talk to and learn from! This tour was nearly 9 hours long and every single minute of it was incredible - easily the best tour I will ever have in my life. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Thank you, Julio! :)

Best local guide for custom Arequipa visit
From the start of planning via email Alejandra and Julio made our visit to Arequipa sensational. Julio met us at the airport and we were able to visit the Sillar Route, Yanahuara and a delightful restaurant. We loved the hotel recommendation and we were so happy that we booked a second day to do a city tour including the Monasterio de Santa Catalina and Plaza de Armas. Arequipa is a lovely city. It was made immeasurably more enjoyable because we had Julio's local expertise and superb driving skills to show us around. It is a great time to visit Peru and we highly recommend that you plan to see Arequipa with Peru Nat Red.

An essential Peruvian experience
After spending a couple days in Lima, Arequipa finally provided me with what felt like a real Peruvian experience. The food there was also what we were looking for and much better than food in Lima.
Julio was a stellar guide with a big heart and a very deep knowledge of his history. The private aspect of the tour also really helped elevate the experience. I highly recommend this tour, and especially so if Julio is your guide!

Outstanding walking tour experience!
I had a really great experience on my private walking tour of Arequipa with Julio. He took me to the most important and interesting places in the city and is extremely knowledgeable. His passion for the town was contagious. Also we had wonderful conversations more generally about life in Peru and I really felt I got a different insight than I could have possibly gotten on my own. All the communication in advance was prompt and clear and I thought the price was very reasonable given the quality of the experience. I highly recommend.
