A Great Experience - JJ did a great job maneuvering our small group around the city. We walked across a bridge and down a market area where we were able to taste fresh picerones. Then we toured the cathedral museum and the catacombs. We walked through the town square and stopped for a drink. We continued on to have dinner in a local restaurant and finally to a beautiful water show that projected the history of Peru. Then back to our hotel.

Wonderful Lima Tour with a good guide - Magic Water Show was wonderful. Visiting the Catacombs and Monastery was an enlightening experience. Downtown Lima was beautiful with all the unusual architecture. JJ our Guide was informative, patient, spoke very clean English and kept our group together. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and the time spent with JJ.

Highly recommended tour! - We had a great time touring the city of Lima! We had a 14hr layover which was the perfect amount of time to fit this in. You could even get away with a shorter layover and still make it work as the host is very accommodating of your schedule. I would rank this tour in my top 3 all time favorite tours through Viator, especially thanks to our guide, JJ! He is very knowledgeable about the city/country’s cultural, political, and religious background, and we were able to learn and experience a lot in the time we had with him. Touring the catacombs was definitely a highlight, and JJ provided really nice explanations of everything that we saw. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about Lima whether you’re staying for a longer period of time in Peru or just stopping by on your connecting flight. Thanks again JJ!

One of the best tours we have done - If I could give Haku Tours 10 stars then I would !! Book through these guys... they are incredible. We had Edwin as our guide. I had been communicating with Stefano prior, which was outstanding. The whole team was amazing. We got picked up from the Indian Markets. The only was to get off a cruise ship at Callao port is to take a shuttle bus to there. The trip was estimated up to 75 mins.. but one of our trips (we had 4 in the bus over 2 days) took over 2 hours. Just be mindful of this when selecting times for your tours. Ours went without a hitch, except the insanely long trip and wait for the buses on our return. Edwin and Fatima stayed til we got onto the shuttle bus. Even though we were perfectly safe waiting in a crowd of over 200, and security, Edwin said it is their companies policy to make sure we get on the shuttle bus safely. This company is outstanding!! Part of their tour money go to helping the community. Oh, the tour. We visited some amazing places. The catacombs, beautiful churches, San Martin Square. We had dinner over looking plaza de Mayor, flanked by the presidental palace, the Cathedral of Lima and municipal palace.. which was stunningly beautiful during the day, then more beautiful when the sun went down, and when the lights came on at the park.. oh wow. We walked amazing streets, had authentic churros.. oh my.. and lastly went to the magic water park, which was so wonderful. A brilliant BRILLIANT tour. Book through these guys. Support the locals.

Well organized Lima city tour - Our ship changed the shuttle drop off location in the city but Haku tour was able to meet us at the new location. Our tour was in a comfortable mini van with a great tour guide. JJ was knowledgeable about his city and our driver was able to get us quickly through the crazy traffic in the city. We had dinner at a very nice Peruvian restaurant (very generous portions) then went to the Magic Water show. Our driver dropped us off right at the entrance and JJ got us into the park quickly, bypassing the long queue. Having a great guide and tour is a must for first time visitor to Lima. Unless you really know the area well, don't wander around on your own. We are very happy with this tour.

Amazing Lisbon tour with Aaron - Aaron was a wonderful tour guide. The Magic Fountains were our favorite with the amazing laser show and Christmas decorations and colorful fountains. We also loved the city tour of the beautiful churches and buildings and city streets lined with ornate balconies. We also got to walk through the underground catacombs. Aaron bought us delicious charros and also took us to an authentic restaurant.Aaron was an excellent guide that worked above and beyond to make our day memorable!
