Nice introduction to Arequipa - Great day with Jorge. He knows the city well and presents all the main things to see. The food and beverages presented during the tour are really good and worth a visit. A good introduction to Arequipa that I recommend doing from day one to get a good overview of the city.

Great tour! - I was blown away by this tour as it far exceeded my expectations. The tour guide did a great job showing both the history of Arequipa and new aspects of the city. The drink tastings were an added bonus.

Intro to Arequipa - I had a great time on this tour with Jorge! He is very knowledgeable about the historical significance of Arequipa and I can see he take a lot of pride in his work. The tour gave me an opportunity to see shops and restaurants that I later visited on my own.

Excellent tour of Arequipa! - Enjoyed an excellent tour of beautiful Arequipa with Paolo! Good communication setting up the tour details ahead of time, and ended up with a private tour after another family had to cancel last minute. He's a great and very knowledgeable tour guide with lots of good stories and advice on how to best enjoy your time in the city. I particularly enjoyed passing all of huge tour groups - I'm sure I saw 10x more than they did and had a far better time!

The must do walking tour in Arequipa! - This walking tour was awesome! Paolo was great - he was very knowledgeable, engaging and fun. We visited so many landmarks and learnt so much of Arequipa history. Totally recommend this tour! Paolo also gave a lot of additional recommendations during the tour for things to do, places to visit, etc. We’ve already done so many of those and have enjoyed every single one of them. Fantastic tour and fantastic guide - thank you so much Paolo!
