Marvelous experience - If you are planning to go to Trujillo it is better to stay on one of those hotel closer to the beach at huanchanco instead to stay in Trujillo downtown it is much more to do according to me! Also the tour in one day is very interesting and the tour guide was marvelous! She has a lot of explanation and she taking care of everybody! Great tour but do not forget to bring money (200soles) a good shoes and a jacket if you are doing the tour during the winter in Pérou!

Excellent! - Maritza was a wonderful tour guide. The tour started on time and was very well organized. As is usual with such providers, there was a bit of driving. Maritza was very knowledgeable and told us exciting facts about the Sun and Moon Temple as well as Chan Chan. Unreservedly recommended!

A great day getting to know some old but advanced ancestors of Peru - We went north from Lima because I’m aware that the Inca weren’t the only prehispánica civilización. Huaca del Sol is fascinating and the preserved and/or restored pictographs on and in pyramid are breathtaking. Chan Chan complex is a must see and left us in awe. Our guide (Judith-I hope I’ve spelled properly) spoke English very well and was quite knowledgeable about the history and the archeological work. Great guide!

A great tour - not to be missed. - This was a very full day. My pedometer says I did 12,000 steps. These archaeological ruins leave Machu Pichu for dead. Both sites were very extensive and well preserved. The museum was fantastic even though we were rushed through. The walk around downtown Trujillo was very interesting and the lunch stop was great. The tour leader Julio spoke good English but the guide explaining the sites and museum, Oscar, was very hard to understand. He was very knowledgeable but so hard to understand. The pick up from the cruise ship went well without a hitch.

WARNING!! Company does not exist - Not sure this tour actually exists. Arrived at the stated location and the address is for a different company. We were unable to contact the tour operator directly. A local tour company Perú Travel helped us out and found us another tour.

Tour provider was a ghost - The tour provider a couple hours before the start of the tour sent an email that my tour was cancelled. I don't for one minute believe the excuse that a "family member died." The office where I was to meet and board the tour van was locked for three days prior to my trip. I had already headed to the office the day of the tour. I heard noise behind the locked door and I knocked. A workman who was obviously renovating the room answered the door and said that was not the tour office any more. It appears TripAdvisor does not keep track of their tour providers.
