Great tour that gives you a versatile impression of Arequipa.
davidhuros, Nov 2023
It was a tour tour in every sense. Alonso was a formidable guide with a great knowledge of history, architecture and the Peruvian culture. The food was well selected and very tasty. We were very happy to go with this tour overall other tours in Arequipa and will remember it as one of if not the greatest sightseeing tour we experienced in Peru. Thank you.
Delicious afternoon!

My husband and I had a great time on this tour with Alonso! We loved the visit to the mercado and the introduction to many (delicious) Peruvian fruits we had never tried. We also loved the restaurants, and the chance to try a traditional preparation of guinea pig. Alonso also took the time to find a vendor selling Arequipa flags, something my husband had been unable to find. We learned a lot from Alonso about recent Peruvian history and got great recommendations for the rest of our stay. We both highly recommend this tour!
Perfect way to taste the town!

Have you ever tasted guinea pig?
Daniel_S, May 2022
Alonso, our guide, was very knowledgeable and passionate about food! And the selection of the restaurants was simply great. We would definitely recommend this tour - and do not hesitate to taste the guinea pig, it‘s delicious.
A can't miss tour

Alonso was a fantastic guide around Arequipa! From a trip to the local stall market to sampling local dishes from his favorite restaurants every dish seemed better than the last. Incredibly personable and full of information we had an absolutely lovely time and agree it was the highlight of our entire trip to Peru!
