I would use this company again!! - Having a good explanation of the temples. Eating local food especially the “pacrones”
Pumpkin and sweet potato dounuts.
Tour group operators were excellent about contacting me before the cruise, day before and day of the tour, and getting us back to the ship in time!!

A great adventure - The guide Cythia was incredible. Her knowledge of the sites visited was amazing. Just be aware it is a lot of walking.

Immerse yourself in historical Trujillo - An Amazing Day with the Mochilea Peru people! - We loved the day with Julio and Cynthia! We visited two amazing archaeological sites, Chan Chan and La Huaca de la Lunes and La Huaca del Sol, narrated very clearly, audibly, and intelligently by Cynthia. The drive to and from the port through the countryside to the sites and through Trujillo was scenic and easy to view from the coach, and it too was well-narrated by Cynthia. We stopped for almost an hour in Trujillo at Plaza de Armas and toured the house of Simon Bolivar's stay, and even had time to take a snack and wander around the plaza and shop if you wished. Both Julio and Cynthia and other staff were very attentive, friendly, and professional during the tour, and the communication in advance with Julio was excellent. It was a day packed full of information and beauty. We definitely recommend this tour and the company. It was a highlight of our visit to Peru.

Great value tour - This tour was excellent for the price!
- The tour guide, Wilmer, knows his stuff and though his English was sometimes difficult to understand (and he speaks very fast), by Peruvian standards, he was pretty fluent
- We saw all the same things the ship’s excursion did, but for much less
- They were very careful to get us back to the ship an hour before all aboard. Another similar ship’s excursion got back an hour late!
The reasons I’m not giving it 5 stars:
- The description said that lunch was not included, but from 8:30 start until 3:30 end, we had no opportunity to even buy anything to eat. A warning to bring something would have been appropriate. We also should have been warned that there would be no water available. I would suggest adding a couple dollars to the price for each person and supplying bottles of water
- We could have used some more communication along the way about bathroom breaks. There was an opportunity during the first couple of hours, but then none until the end. I would have taken advantage of the first one, had I known
- Similarly, some in our group could have benefited from knowing at each site , approximately how much walking they might expect there
I do recommend this tour because I think it’s a great value, with warnings about these few things

Fun day - We spent time at the Temple of the Sun and the Moon as well as Chan Chan. Our guide, Raoul as did a great job explaining the history and pointing out items of interest. The only downsides were the fairly long and bumpy bus rides in traffic and the lack of adequate time for lunch, which we would have loved to have in Huanchaco near the beach. Overall, a fun day.

Visit to Archeological Sites near Trujillo - Julio was amazing! He was very good at communicating with us before the tour and the day of the tour. And the guide he provided, Cynthia, was an outstanding guide and knew her history very well. We went to Chan Chan and the Temple of the Moon on this tour and Cynthia provided lots of information and history totally from memory. We also visited Trujillo. I give Julio and Cynthia 5 stars. The only reason I gave the overall experience 4 stars was because of 2 guests from the cruise ship who decided to eat breakfast late and made the whole tour late which then made us have to skip part of the itinerary. While I appreciate very much that Julio did not want to leave anyone behind, these guests put him in a bad spot and made 30 other people wait! Aside from that, the tour was excellent!

Good tour; dishonest company - The archeological sites were definitely worth visiting. I had the impression that the tour would be private since the title indicated it could be customized; however, it was with a large group of people, in a tour bus. Our guide was very attentive and worked hard to help everyone have a good time. His English was okay; I was able to get the gist of what he was saying, but there was no nuance or depth in the narration due to the limited English proficiency.
The main reason for the 2-star review is the company's lack of integrity. Several in our group got sick the night before the tour and couldn't participate. The manager, Julio, told me verbally and in writing that those who got sick would receive a partial refund. However, after making these promises, he simply stopped communicating with me and has never issued the partial refund. If he had explained that no refund was possible and pointed me to a policy, that would have been different. But to promise the refund and then ghost me is unacceptable.

Worn out, but saw little - Booked 8:30 tour but we’re told to meet at 8 so we could see everything. Caught first shuttle as requested. But all tour times went together meaning we waited well over an hour to past 9:30 to begin. Hard to understand. No commentary on todays living during very long drives, just history at archeological sites. Did not see colonial house or museum. Wasted time at beach. No time or opportunity to buy lunch. Lots of walking.
