Ok tour
This was an ok experience. A lot of time in the car. Huaca pucllana was far more interesting, in my opinion.

It's not worth it.
The guide was discouraged. Semi-automatic, we didn't see the museum completely, skipped several parts and on the ruins visit, skipped most and didn't even go to the viewpoint. We went on our own with a bad face from the one who was rushing us. It cost a lot to not deliver absolutely anything I expected.

Highly recommended!!!
Excellent. Jennifer was an amazing guide and organised the whole thing including picking us all up and doing the whole tour in both English and Spanish! It really was a fascinating visit.

Very important site for the coastal and Andean cultures
Without the guide who speaks English as well as Spanish, the visit would have made little sense, as it is so difficult to understand the meaning of this immense field of ruins. Pachacamac is an extremely important site for all the great Andean or Peruvian coastal civilizations. Being made of adobe, it is much more deteriorated than stone constructions like Machu Picchu but remains a site somewhat comparable to Jerusalem for Westerners and the Arab-Muslim world, or Teotihuacan for Mesoamerica...

Amazing guide at an interesting cultural site
Our guide was amazing! Very informative and easy to understand. She even provided commentary on our drive that gave me a much better appreciation for current Peruvian culture. The site itself was very interesting, especially the fact that multiple civilizations had contributed to building on the site. I only wish we'd had a little more time to explore the museum!

Good
All very good except the fact that our bus was not allowed to drive up the hill to the Temple of the Sun. 3 people went by foot and the rest was waiting for them.

Interesting with few notes
Very good guide. The tour was very pleasant. The only things are that the pickup point could be clearer (I received information that other points were possible) and the use of the air conditioning, which made me sick.

Nice experience!

Awesome cultural tour!
Our tour guide, Mario, was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and so ready to answer any questions. He gave such great commentary everywhere we went. Pachacama was incredible. You get to go through the museum first and then walk through the actual ruins including getting an amazing view from the top. Highly recommend!
