Barranco Unmasked

We had a fantastic experience with Bruce in Barranco. He is a really interesting and engaging person who brings something different to a walking tour. Rather than simply showing you the sights, he shares genuine insights into Peruvian culture, politics and the systems that affect local communities, giving you a much deeper understanding of the place and the people who live there. We really enjoyed the conversations and the opportunity to ask questions and explore things that interested us. Bruce also took the time to give us personalised recommendations for restaurants and other tours, which was incredibly helpful during our stay in Lima. We would highly recommend Bruce to anyone looking for an authentic, personalised experience and a guide who will give you much more than the usual tourist information. We came away feeling that we had learned a lot and had genuinely enjoyed meeting him too.

Bruce provided an honest take on the area, sang us a song and recited a poem from heart. Just what we were looking for. Thanks!

This was my very first tour in Lima and Peru. Bruce delivered a scintillating history lesson where I felt I got to know about the local culture. His storytelling style is candid and personal with no filter on the good and bad of politics and society. Although I was solo on the tour, he did not cancel. I ended up doing two more tours with Bruce.

Bruce was absolutely spectacular. We were two families and he made sure everyone was involved and was incredibly patient. Bruce's love for what he does is infectious and he goes to great lengths to provide an unforgettable experience alongside information you would not easily find on your own or elsewhere. There was eating, singing, history, scandal, art, poetry, controversy and friendship. Bruce is an absolute legend and we all had a blast. Take this your! and ask him about his other incredible offerings too.

My tour guide Bruce was super friendly and gave lots of local information about Barranco. This tour definitely is not a standard tour, but that’s what makes it so special and worth it. I learned so many things about everyday life and struggles as well as gentrification. Also, Bruce didn’t cancel the tour despite me being the only attendee. Also, he was on time and communication with him was super easy. Bruce is super professional and I appreciate having taken this tour so much.

Very interesting tour with politically sensitive details. I gladly recommend it!

Bruce is a lovely guide who went out of his way to tailor our tour to some very last minute changes.

One of the best walking tour I have ever had: in Barranco Bruce showed a passionate knowledge of the barrio and has been able to deeply connect the street art with the politics, social and cultural aspects of Peru and Lima. He has a great energy and the ability to fast feel you as a long date friend more than a one time guide. Moreover he can give you great suggestions on restaurants and nightlife! RECOMMENDED as first choice for your tours in Lima.

The Barranco tour with Bruno is a great tour to get some of the history of Barranco together with the information about the murals. His personal inputs make the tour extra fun.

Bruce was an excellent guide with a strong passion for Barranco. I will use this tour company the next time I visit Lima!
