10/10 excellent tour with an amazing host! - We loved this tour of Arequipa and visit to the market with pisco and fruit tasting led by Daniel who was knowledgable and super friendly. His English was excellent. The walking tour weaved through the old town and was so detailed, but it was relaxed and not rushed at all, and ended with a trip to the market to pick out some fruit and taste the queso helado and pisco. Delicious! Thoroughly recommend and great value for money.

Knowledgeable, Friendly, and Accommodating” - A great way to see Arequipa in a short time frame! José knows the city inside and out and speaks excellent English. He was flexible and accommodating in the market, taking us to the areas our family was most interested in exploring. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a personalized introduction to the city.
