I did a private tour, solo, with Jordan (my guide) and Jose (my driver). This was a fabulous introduction to the history and archeology of Peru. Jordan was a great guide who explained everything thoughly and with interesting stories. We explored the museum and the entire grounds - plenty of time, at no time did I feel rushed. A great preparation for a trip to Machu Picchu. Wonderful day!
The Private Pachacamac Tour was the highlight of our time in Peru. Jordan provided the history of Peru prior to arriving at the site. He throughly explained the exhibits in the museum at Pachacamac and escorted us on a tour of the site. Our driver, Facundo, was friendly and a great driver! We would definitely suggest this tour as it was fantastic.
This tour was excellent! Our guide, Sophia, was very knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained the history of Pachacamac and answered all of our questions. We definitely gained a deeper understanding of the pre-Incan and Incan cultures through her commentary. She was flexible in allowing us to set the pace and take photos as we wished. Our driver was skilled and our van clean and comfortable despite navigating through the bumpy dirt roads of the site. We highly recommend this tour!
We traveled with Jordan (Guide) and faço ndo (driver) on our trip to Pachacamac ruins. The pick up was smooth, the car was clean, the ride was smooth, and Jordan gave us a great rundown of the history, geography, and culture of the land accompanied by visuals which provided good context to what we saw. He was very articulate and fluent in English and made sure that we grasped the highlights of the museum and the ruins. Fecundo, our driver, provided valuable service, and overall they both as a team made it a very pleasant experience. We would highly recommend this team.
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.
