Top Lima Private & Custom Tours

The Private Pachacamac Tour was the highlight of our time in Peru. Jordan provided the history of Peru prior to arriving at the site. He throughly explained the exhibits in the museum at Pachacamac and escorted us on a tour of the site. Our driver, Facundo, was friendly and a great driver! We would definitely suggest this tour as it was fantastic.

This tour was excellent! Our guide, Sophia, was very knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained the history of Pachacamac and answered all of our questions. We definitely gained a deeper understanding of the pre-Incan and Incan cultures through her commentary. She was flexible in allowing us to set the pace and take photos as we wished. Our driver was skilled and our van clean and comfortable despite navigating through the bumpy dirt roads of the site. We highly recommend this tour!

The day was lovely, and the hike up to the Sun God temple ruins was vigorous but not too much for a 70 year old in fair shape! The view of the ocean made it worthwhile, not to mention standing on sacred ground for the Inca people. The immensity of the archaeological site really struck me; essentially, I learned, all of Lima area is built on top of layers from ancient cultures. To touch the stones that workers used 1000 years ago to build a temple is the best way to learn history. A very good tour! Take sunscreen and water; it is warm and dry there!

We had a wonderful time! From start to finish, everything was as expected or in many ways, exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Ms. Herrera, and the driver were right on time meeting us at our hotel. Ms. Herrera was very friendly and knowledgeable abut Peru in general and specifically the pre-Colombian artifacts at the museum. The pace of the tour was good, and the information was concise. This is what we were hoping for, and was very much appreciated. What really stunned my entire family was the beauty of the Gardens, Museum, and especially the Restaurant. It was very lovely, elegant, and classy. It was the perfect send off for our last evening of our Peru vacation.

Pickup was on time and the car was clean and comfortable. Our guide was fluent in English and provided an interesting commentary during our visit of Larco Museum. He didn't go into great in degree level depth detail, which honestly I would not want. He did, however, give historical context and made what I was seeing much more interesting by explaining where the artifacts were from, what they were made of, where they were traded from, and the purpose of the artifacts. He made the whole visit really interesting. The meal was lovely and in a beautiful setting. The driver was there ready and waiting at the end of the meal and safely navigated Lima's horrendous traffic to get us back at a good time.

Wow what a tour. Maria and Victor were the best. Maria had so much knowledge and Pachacamac was out of this world amazing. You need to visit this place.

We traveled with Jordan (Guide) and faço ndo (driver) on our trip to Pachacamac ruins. The pick up was smooth, the car was clean, the ride was smooth, and Jordan gave us a great rundown of the history, geography, and culture of the land accompanied by visuals which provided good context to what we saw. He was very articulate and fluent in English and made sure that we grasped the highlights of the museum and the ruins. Fecundo, our driver, provided valuable service, and overall they both as a team made it a very pleasant experience. We would highly recommend this team.

Edward was a terrific guide . . . knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Guide was very knowledgeable, informative and forthcoming. Structured presentations but flexible in allowing deviations.

The guide was great, the museum was a fabulous experience and dinner was amazing. Overall great tour

The visit went very well our guide Maria was very friendly, clear and experienced We took DE tons of pictures

The museum part was excellent- the guide told us everything we needed to know without being long-winded. The gardens and restaurant are lovely. Downside was that the guide leaves before you eat - the waiter is supposed to call the driver when you are ready to go. The main course came immediately after the starter and we told him we needed 15 minutes to wait before we could fit in dessert. But he brought dessert immediately. A few minutes later he comes over with the bill and says our driver is waiting. We pointed out to him that we hadn't finished dessert yet and we also had bought a bottle of wine which was only half drunk. It spoilt the evening as we felt pressured to hurry up and leave. When we finally did go down to the street we couldn't find the driver in the dark - lots of cars parked there. Up the hill we went again and reception called the driver. He's there they said. Down the hill we went again and still couldn't see him - he was parked in a side street and he now got out of the car and waved at us. So all ok in the end but it wasn't very relaxing.

Our guide shared interesting facts. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I actually I would have actually like to get out of the car to see Bridge of Signs instead of a distance in the car.

Edwin was an excellent guide to an astonishing place, the pre-Columbian ruins of the Temple of the Sun. Edwin took us to every corner of the huge excavation and explained every detail. Wonderful tour.

Excellent experience at Pachacamac. The activity was very well organized and informative. The museum does a great job of presenting the evolution of the site and the different civilizations that inhabited the area, which really helps set the context before the visit. Our guide, Sofia, was extremely knowledgeable, shared valuable historical insights, and spoke excellent Portuguese, which made the experience even better. The tour ended with a fascinating walk through the archaeological site itself. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history and culture.
