Amazing tour! - We basically had a private tour around Arequipa. We learned so much about the history and architecture of the city and Jose was a really friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had some delicious fruit, dessert and pisco. Would definitely recommend to anyone that has a free afternoon in Arequipa.

An absolute must do! Incredible value for money - I don't normally write reviews but this one fully deserved it. I was recommended this tour as a 'must do' by a friend and it did not disappoint. Jose was so knowledgable and really takes you on a complete tour of Arequipa, including the city, history, culture, gastronomy, and more. Jose's storytelling is captivating and he had answers to any question I threw at him. All capped off by the pisco tasting. It's incredible value for money - couldn't recommend it more.

Best value for money ever - Absolute best value for money - total steal! Super informative city walking tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide Jose. Towards the end, you get to do a bit of pisco tasting too, which is the perfect and relaxing way to finish the tour after 2-3 hours of walking. I was the only person attending so I basically got a private tour, which was a very positive surprise as many other agencies/guides would likely instead opt out to cancel instead. All in all, great tour!

Highly recommend - I really enjoyed this tour! Jose was a great guide, provided tons of info about the city, and showed us some cool places to come back to and check out. It was a great introduction to Arequipa. The fruits in the market, and the pisco and snacks were also so good! It was great to learn about pisco, the history, how it's made etc. This tour was well worth it!

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!

Fun and informative walking and tasting tour - Amazing and unique experience, a walking tour through the historic center with excellent explanations and cool photo spots. Afterwards the visit of the local market which was also fun and informative at the same time and the best was at the end the Pisco tasting 🤩

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!
