We had an excellent tour with Jimmy (tour guide) and Ernesto (chauffeur). Jimmy was 10 minutes early for our pickup! Ernesto was a very safe and considerate driver. Jimmy had excellent stories and has a deep knowledge of Peruvian and Inca history. He kept us attentive for the entire tour. 5 stars all around!
We had a wonderful half day tour of Pachacamac, made especially memorable by our guide, Jimmy. He did an amazing job bringing the ancient pre-Inca ruins to life through his lively storytelling, historical knowledge, and engaging style. Rather than simply walking through an archaeological site, we felt like we were getting a glimpse into the people, beliefs, and stories behind Pachacamac. A half day tour is sufficient for this site.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We're delighted to hear your half day tour of Pachacamac was so memorable, and that Jimmy's storytelling, knowledge, and engaging style brought the ancient pre-Inca ruins to life. It's wonderful that you got to feel that deeper connection to the people and beliefs behind Pachacamac, rather than just seeing a site. We hope to welcome you back soon. Warm regards from the Apullay Tours team!
We really enjoyed our tour of this fascinating archaeological site - we wouldn't have had as much of an understanding of the importance of Pachacamac without our knowledgeable and friendly guide. By visiting this place we hope to contribute to Peru's ability to develop their rich archaeology. The pick-up service to and from our hotel was very helpful and professional too.
Greetings, Fiona, Your review means a lot to us! We truly appreciate your gratitude and your contribution to valuing our culture. We hope you enjoyed our service as much as we enjoyed providing it for you. We can’t wait to welcome you back! Best regards :)
