The best way to spend half a day in Arequipa - A fantastic afternoon tour of some really interesting historical places in Arequipa with Jorge. Lots of interesting stories about the history of some beautiful buildings, a great market, delicious tastings of so many interesting things like queso helago, tamalero, local Peruvian fruits, 70% cocao chocolate, and last but definitely not least, an incredible pisco tasting experience in a gorgeous historic square behind Tempo Compania de Jesus. Highly recommended. 5 stars from us!

Great tour - enjoyable and educational - It was a very informative tour and our guide Daniel was great. Good value for money since you get to taste some local foods and also two different piscos, and there are no hidden costs. The tour took us to a lot of places around the Centro Histórico and we learned quite a bit about the history of Arequipa. Would recommend!

Unique and excellent experience - The tour was really great! Especially the mix of historical information (through the old town walking tour) and cultural insights (through the visit of a local market, trying different food and the pisco tasing) is a very nice way of doing a tour. Additionally, our guide José was awesome. He knew a lot and answered all of our questions with very good English. All in all, it was a unique and excellent experience and we would 100 % recommend doing the tour!

A pleasant walk through the city - I loved the tour. Mr. Jose was very attentive, he answered all my questions. I knew a lot about Arequipa, from its history to the present. I highly recommend it. The pisco tasting was one of the most favorite parts. I went to places I didn’t know from my previous visit to Arequipa, so it was very worth the tour

Thanks Jose! - Our tour guide was Jose. He was kind and informative. We ended up having a private tour. Would recommend this tour as it gives you the opportunity to see and try a lot of things you wouldn't normally do on your own! Be prepared for a lot of walking, but definitely worth it! We enjoyed our tour!
