Excellent tour

Susanna_T, Apr 2026

We enjoyed the first full day tour with JJ. He is kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He treated us with local dessert and a keychain. The lunch & dinner were delicious. Unfortunately we could not make it for the 2nd day tour. However, we heard good report about it from our tour-mates.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you! We are delighted you had such a positive first day with JJ. He always strives to be kind and knowledgeable, and he’ll be happy to know you enjoyed the local dessert and the little souvenir. We are sorry you couldn't make it for the second day, but we hope to welcome you back in the future to complete the experience! Best regards, Marketing Team

Excellent value for money

Michelle_M, Sep 2025

This was an excellent option if you have an overnight stay or 2 day stop on a cruise. It is very well organised with great guides and drivers and very comfortable vans. The information we received throughout the 2 days was excellent, there is a lot of walking required but relatively flat. Meals were absolutely amazing. Would totally recommend

Lima by day and night.

Suzanne_L, Sep 2025

This was a fantastic 2 day tour. It commenced with a visit to the settlement area to experience the work done by local women to enhance the lifestyle of the residents. Very sobering but wonderful visit. This was followed by a delicious lunch of local food. We then travelled to the historical centre of the city to see the beautiful buildings and the fascinating catacombs. Another meal was followed by a visit to the water park. A long but great day. The second day was a visit to the desert to see ancient Inca ruins. Amazing.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to know you had such a rich and meaningful experience during the two-day tour. From the valuable community service to the desert landscapes and Inca history, it was truly an unforgettable adventure! A. Bardalez Marketing Team

Perfect 2-day Shore Excursion

Jay_J, Jan 2025

Amazing Haku Tour

Kerry_A, Aug 2023

Haku Tours Wow !!! ... how fantastic. My highest recommendation EVER. My husband and I had the most fabulous time with our tour guides Pamela and Lydia, who showed us so much of Lima (including Pachacamac) on various tours. We arrived in Lima for our first time ever... on a cruise ship ... not knowing what to expect, but decided not to book tours through the cruise line. Looking on-line, we discovered Haku Tours, who had very good reviews. This was the best decision ever !!! The knowledge and expertise of these two ladies was exceptional. Sincere thanks to Pamela and Lydia. Thanks also to Alejandro... superb. Highly recommended to anyone wanting a brilliant tour experience in Lima. Haku tour company contacted me the day before to confirm times and pick up location.

Two great days in Lima

Lance_W, Jan 2019

We were promptly met at the port by our guide Johnathan, trainee Stephanie and their driver. The two guides were extremely knowledgeable and congenial. Additionally the driver was of great assistance. We had a couple of items we needed to purchase during the day and the whole team worked hard to ensure we could get them with no problems.My wife and I learned a great amount of information during this tour. Johnathan assigned portions of the information to Stephanie who did a wonderful job. We feel that she will be a great asset to this tour company when she has completed her training. Johnathan was also a great guide for my wife and me as well as instructor for Stephanie.The first day was consisted of touring the significant and historical parts of Lima. The guides were able to answer all of our questions without hesitation. They were also able to avoid the big bus tours which were going on.Day two was a cultural and gastronomic tour. We were able to taste a great many of the local fruits and vegetables followed by a lunch of local cuisine. The tour was set up to provide us with a taste of the three main areas around Lima and it was successful. We would highly recommend this tour to others. Our guide team of Johnathan and Stephanie were wonderful. I wish I could remember the driver's name because he was also a great contributor to our day.
