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!

This tour is fun - Paolo is one of the most amazing tour guides I have ever encountered. He not only knows the city well and offers a fun walk through the center and its surroundings, he's also fluent in English and has the ability to illustrate his stories with a continuous stream of humor. Not jokes for their own sake, but really funny comments that pertain directly to what he is speaking about and help guests understand the city and its history better while laughing with joyful humor from start to finish. I not only ended the tour with a deepened appreciation for Arequipa, I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day. This tour is fun.
