Fantastic Tour og a unique scared site - I had a fantastic day Johanna was extremely kind and patience with me as I couldn't speak Spanish. But she also made sure all of the clients needs were catered for. The tour was very informative she is very knowledgeable on the various aspects of Caral Site. Johanna has a lovely way of engaging with the clients. The lunch at the Tato restaurant was perfect setting right on the beach, and the meal was top shelf for reasonable price. Finishing off with a visit to Christ on top of the hill overlooking the ocean. Highly recommend this tour. Best wishes ..Pinger

Caral a must see for history buffs and anyone intrigued by the way our ancestors lived, worked and celebrated their existance. - Johanna our guide was professional and happily shared her knowledge of the site and included helpful tips for tripping around Peru. Our driver handled the chaotic traffic of Lima with ease. A long however enjoyable day with a group of nice people.

Beat day trip - An amazing day trip to Caral! I had the best day trip to Caral today! Even though it’s a bit far, visiting the archaeological ruins makes the journey completely worth it. To my surprise, after exploring Caral we stopped in Barranca for a delicious, fresh lunch by the beach. We even took a short walk up to a mirador overlooking the city and the coast, such a beautiful view! I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Peru. It’s a perfect mix of history, nature, and local flavor.

Caral brought to life - Johanna made the trip enjoyable and memorable. Her love for ancient artifacts and history shines through her warm personality. She brought Caral alive by showing us what the people’s may have done on a daily basis. You won’t be disappointed.

✨ Tour review with Johanna – Caral and Barranca ✨ - Our experience was wonderful from the start. Johanna was an excellent guide: friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the history of the place. We visited Caral, where we could appreciate the most impressive pyramids in America—it was amazing to imagine how those civilizations lived thousands of years ago, and Johanna explained it so passionately that it really transported us back in time. Afterwards we continue to Barranca, where we enjoyed a delicious local meal (everything was delicious!) and closed the day visiting the Christ the Redeemer, with a spectacular view of the sea.It was a very special and quiet moment, perfect to finish the tour. Johanna made the whole day very enjoyable: her love for her work, her patience and her positive energy showed. It made us feel comfortable, safe and very well accompanied. Definitely a guide I recommend 100%. 💫

Excellent Site! Excellent Tour Guides! - Excellent tour guides. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. The site is Fascinating! Absolutely worth it. The architecture and engineering is big, bold, and really old. The culture was advanced, there are lots of artifacts, and there is lots of mystery. The scenery is dramatic and beautiful. Expectations were exceeded!

Amazing and fun!!! - It was amazing. I had very low expectations for this tour and it has been quite the opposite. Both Johana (the guide) and the driver (Willy) have made the experience fabulous. The journey has been very pleasant and pleasant, the explanation, the other colleagues with whom we shared the tour and also the guide in Caral, everything has been 10. I would repeat it again in the future. It's all been laughter and good times. Stops are made to go to Service and eat. All very well organized and very punctual in the pick up from the hotel in the morning. On the way back you stop in Barranco to see the Christ and eat at a restaurant next to the beach, it is very nice everything. The places are very interesting, we have been informed very well, I will return without hesitation. Thanks for everything!!! Long live Peru!

Amazing ruins; Average Experience - While I highly recommend seeing Caral, a 5,000 year-old wonder of our world, I was less than impressed with the tour itself. Maybe I was unlucky and had an unfriendly group and less-than-inspired guide, but as a solo traveler, it felt like a LONG day without meaningful guide and group interaction. The guide made no effort for the group to get to know one another and have a shared experience, which was a missed opportunity, in my view. Further, the tour itself involved pretty basic information. I was expecting more given the exceptional effort it takes to get to Caral and back from Lima. In the end, I would visit the ruins again—and recommend doing so—but I wouldn’t want to repeat the same group and guide dynamic. Why commit to a group tour if there is no meaningful, positive group energy? I suppose the better alternative would have been to plan a private tour, but I have had great group experiences in the past and hoped for one this time.
