Callao side trip - This is an interesting side trip if you have already seen Lima. Callao is a port city so you see poverty with a burgeoning art scene as well as La punta, an upscale residential conclave and beach area. Alfredo was a very well informed and fun guide.

Callao if you have time - Our cruise ship docked in Callao and our schedule permitted us to take a tour of Callao before heading into Lima for 4 days. We found Alfredo to be an excellent guide - knowledgably, friendly and totally fluent in English. For a port city, Callao has a beautiful beach area and a historical old town. We also had a hands on lesson on graffiti art which was fun. Alfredo took us to a typical Peruvian restaurant where we had a delicious lunch. Highly recommend Alternative Peru for tours of Lima and vicinity.

Graffiti/Culture Tour was amazing - We did a half day tour with Alfredo touring the murals/graffiti of Callao. It was amazing. We had the opportunity to make our own piece of art and were given a great little souvenir of it to take home. Alfredo was very accommodating, speaks fluent English and shared knowledge of Peru and the lifestyles of residents that we did not get on any of the other tours. Highly recommend it!
