A tour of some of the old colonial part of Lima - I had super friendly and knowledgeable guides. We toured some of the city while they gave us some historical information. It was excellent. The guides were just as interested in me and my own background too. I loved it. I would use this company again if/when I come back to Lima.

Great Experience with Haku Tours - Haku Tours was amazing! We did 3 tours in a full day that took us from the south to the north of Lima. Edwin and his staff made us feel welcomed just like family. Our tour experience was more intimate then with a large group of ppl. When I come back I would definitely schedule more tours with Haku. When you travel to Lima hit up Haku Tours for your Lima experience!
