Exceptional Two-Day Private Photo Tour in Lima - Our two-day private photography tour in Lima was exceptional. Dan made an itinerary that was complied of what he felt was important for first time visitors as well as including our requests based on our photography interests. The photographer and driver were very warm, friendly and professional. It was like being with friends as soon as we were picked up to start our tour. The attention to details and the flexibility was wonderful. The communication was excellent from the initial request and even after the tour. The quality of service was second to none! We felt confident even before the tour that we were in good hands. Everyone involved delivered and we came home with such special memories, great images and new friends! I can highly recommend Dan and the team! We would not have had the wonderful experience we did without them!

Great way to see Lima in a day! - I only had 1 day on my trip to Peru in Lima, so I found this tour online with several great reviews and gave Dan a last-minute call to arrange a tour on the same day and I'm so glad I did. I had a private tour with Dan who picked me up from my hostel and showed me all the highlights and plenty of hidden gems around Lima too. The pace was great, not too rushed so I could take my time for good photos, talk to locals and learn more about Lima and Peru. I definitely made the most of my 1 day in Lima and would highly recommend!

Amazing one-day city tour exploring Lima gems! - I spent a wonderful day with Dan exploring Lima City with all hidden gems. Being on a business trip in Lima, I took advantage of the weekend to explore Lima with the intention to visit the less touristic but stunning parts of the town and to learn about the culture and lives of the people there. It was such a gorgeous day immersing into Lima and learning so much about Peru, it's people and culture from Dan. I can recommend this private tour to everyone. Having travelled a lot, this was one of my best city tours ever! I can highly recommend it to anyone!

Great day in Lima - Dan was a spectacular guide for our day in Lima. He immediately got that we wanted to go to some off the beaten path places and he really delivered! Loved the local market! The driver was also great.

Three Wonderful Days in Lima - My husband and I had three wonderful days with Dan seeing Lima. We explored Colonial Lima from inside historic homes and outside in the streets and plazas. We saw highlights by day, such as a Huaca Pucllana and Casa Aliaga, and had a photo shoot at night all around the magic water circuit. Dan provided the perfect balance of historical background, cultural interpretation, modern day Peruvian influences, camera tips, and door to door service from one amazing site to the next. We hope to travel with Dan again!

The best introduction to Lima - This was the perfect introduction to Lima and my first day in Peru! Dan was absolutely amazing, super friendly and fun to hang out with. We had a great day together and he really helped me out with using my camera which really helped me for the rest of my trip. We went to some really cool spots including areas that were less touristy, which was great. I can't recommend this day tour enough. Thank you so much Dan for making the start to my time in Peru so brilliant and memorable! :-)

Unique must do tour - I did a Lima day tour with Dan and Andean Photo Expeditions. I had a wonderful time, and it was by far the highlight of my trip. My experience was so much better than taking a standard city tour. We went to various parts of Lima, including some more off the beaten path places. This made for really unique photo opportunities. Wherever we went we saw folks that knew Dan. He’s got a great relationship with the local people, and you can tell that they really respect him. It was wonderful to hear that he gives back to the community as well. Dan is a genuinely nice guy who was a pleasure to spend time with. He really knows his stuff, and gave me very useful advice that made for some fantastic photos. I loved being able to tap into his wealth of knowledge. I learned a lot, and it was great getting to see and learn about the city through the eyes of a photographer. There are many options when it comes to taking city tours. This was a truly unique experience that was unlike others other tours I’ve taken. I wholeheartedly recommend Andean Photo Expeditions. Can't wait to do another photo tour with them in Cusco.

Great Way To See and Experience Lima - My group and I spent an excellent day with Dan on his Lima Photo Tour. My group of photographers discovered many places in Lima that would not be on "standard" tourist tours. Dan runs his photo tours very professionally from the moment you contact him to book a tour ... to doing the actual tour. He is top notch! Highly recommended.

Fantastic Photo Tour - A huge thank you to Dan at Andean Photo Expeditions for being such a great guide and teacher during this tour from the moment he picked us up at our hotel to the moment he dropped us off at the end of an outstanding day. The tour was a great overview of Lima and really showed us how beautiful the city is, including some sights you might not find on your typical run-of-the mill tour. Dan managed the time perfectly and made sure we were able to fit in all the things we wanted to see and much more. And as someone who relies on my smartphone to take pictures, I appreciated that he had great tips for me as well as my friends who had photography equipment. If I ever make it back to Peru, I will make sure to book with Andean Photo Expeditions again.
