An unforgettable first day in Lima with Mario

5.00We booked Mario for a private combined tour of Huaca Pucllana, Lima’s Historic Center, and the Catacombs of San Francisco, and it exceeded every expectation. Traveling with a young child, we needed someone who could keep the energy up, adjust to our pace and make history accessible for all ages. Mario did exactly that. What sets Mario apart is his warmth and passion. He clearly loves what he does and it showed in the wonderful stories and facts he shared. If you’re spending time in Lima, don’t miss this tour - and ask for Mario
Great way to start our Peruvian Experience

5.00We truly had an amazing trip. Mario and his wonderful safe driver collected us 4 of us at 10.00 and from then on nothing was too much trouble. Including running back to rescue my sisters phone, left in a loo. The day was realy interesting, very informative and packed with fun stops - Pisco & local fruit tasting were unexpected and great. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thankyou Mario for making us feel so welcome and for the trip to be so very memorable.

5.00"An unforgettable experience! The Huaca Pucllana + City Tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Mario, was exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable about the place, provided us with a detailed explanation about the history and culture of the site. The combination of Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca archaeological site, with the City Tour, which includes the historic center and catacombs, was impressive. The logistics were impeccable, with comfortable transportation and everything very well organized. I loved the way Mario made us feel part of the story, explaining every detail with passion and enthusiasm. Highly recommended! Don't miss it!"

5.00Our guide, Mario, is a person who knows a lot about the history of Peru, especially the archaeological site Huaca Pucllana. It conveys enthusiasm and, despite the warmth, the talk was enjoyable, very enriching and fun. I recommend it 100/100. It's worth it! Jeimmy Jimenez – Guayaquil, Ecuador.
