Great time in Barranco - The tour was a great walk through Barranco with a good mix of shops, art, and culture. Gabi was great at explaining the history of the town and significance behind the murals. We booked the tour last minute and it turned out to be private which was nice to have personal experience with Gabi. Highly recommend Haku Tours in general. We did the market and cooking class too and that was great!

Good tour, amazing guide - We enjoyed the tour in Barranco with our tour guide Aura. We did this tour right after the cooking class in the morning by the same tour company (Haku tours) and they were flexible about starting this tour right after the first one ended which was very nice. Barranco is a beautiful neighbourhood with lots of street art if you're interested in that. Although it wasn't the highlight of our trip (we enjoyed the cooking class more), it was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours thanks to Aura -- of all the tour guides we had, she was the best!
