Great time

This was a great 3 hour tour. The first hour was outside of the main downtown area of Arequipa and it’s great to see Misti from different view points (try to go on a sunny day). The 2-3 hours are spent walking around town and going into a church and the monastery. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Comprehensive Arequipa tour

Knowledgable guide, good English, comfortable vehicle, flexible to fit with schedule, comprehensive itinerary. Monastery tour felt repetitive and could be compressed. Cathedral visit was the last stop scheduled in the tour at 5pm, despite its tower with views of Arequipa and the surrounds closing at 4pm, meaning I could not do this during my stay. A itinerary reshuffle would be a simple fix.

Fantastic Guide and Tour

Our guide, Charo, made this one of our best city tours in Peru. We would highly recommend it. We started out in the car seeing a few view points and she even made a few stops to accommodate some things we wanted to try but didn’t know how to find. We then did a walking tour of the Plaza de Armas area and Monastery of Santa Catalina and it was fantastic. All of the sites were not only beautiful but interesting. We especially loved the Monastery, which was not only beautiful but Charo also did a wonderful job of answering our questions and centering women’s history. As a historian, I can found her information far better and she centered women’s agency in ways others haven’t and she also addressed colonialism far better and in a more complex way. We cannot recommend this tour enough!
