A great way to experience Arequipa in a short period of time - My husband and I had a great time in the center of Arequipa with Paolo today! He was very knowledgeable and the places he showed us were beautiful. The local empanadas we tried at the end of the tour were so delicious! We’d recommend this tour to anyone who visits this lovely city and doesn’t have much time but is curious to know what it’s about. Thank you !

Great tour with Paolo! - We had a great tour with Paolo! Paolo was very knowledgeable, had a great (fun) personality and was extremely passionate about making sure we learned all about the history of the region and specifically about Arequipa. We also stopped to enjoy traditional chocolates (so good), a pisco sour, “Chicha de jora” (the quintessential South American native corn beer) and salteñas. Would highly recommend!!

Nice introduction to Arequipa - Great day with Jorge. He knows the city well and presents all the main things to see. The food and beverages presented during the tour are really good and worth a visit. A good introduction to Arequipa that I recommend doing from day one to get a good overview of the city.
