Informative and Well-organized private tour of Trujillo’s ancient sites - One of the best tours I’ve taken! Effective communication to arrange the tour, which I booked using viator. I used this company to tour Huaca del Sol y Luna (do not miss) and Chan Chan. I loved the tour so much that I booked the half day tour to visit el bruho Complex to see the mummy of The Lady of Cao. For our private tour, we were picked up on time at our hotel and greeted by our guide and driver. Our guide, Alfredo, was experienced, professional, and spoke English and Spanish. He was an absolute wealth of knowledge, snapped great photos, and was very patient. Thank you for adding to a memorable trip. I would highly recommend Tours.pe!!! Gracias!
