Unfortunately, I left booking tours with this small company until the end of my stay in Lima - but what an experience!! I had a totally personalised tour of one of Lima's shanty towns, followed by a market visit and a cookery lesson in the afternoon - tailored for me especially and giving me a real insight into real people's...

Based on other reviews we read, we decided to take the shanty town tour. Edwin was prompt to pick us up at our hotel, and showed us how so many living in Lima truly live. It was an eye opening experience, one we'll never forget. Haaku tours also supports the efforts of the shanty town, donating part of their proceeds.... More

Edwin and crew will show you Lima and help you understand it. I took the City of Kings tour on one day and the Shantytown tour the next. I was picked up at my hotel on time and taken care of throughout. Shantytown tour is eye-opening and part of your fee goes to helping the community there. I highly recommend... More

I had Edwin as a guide on a private Shanty Town tour. Before we went to the Shanty Town we stopped at the lover's park in Miraflores and went to a market in barranco. The market was nuts! Then we headed to the shanty town, where I bought some mandarins for the local kiddos, who took them shyly. Lastly, we... More

I did two tours with Haku and would have done more if I'd had the time. I tried the cooking lessons first. My guide Edwin was knowledgeable and friendly and the chef for the day was a fantastic teacher. The food was delicious! I enjoyed this tour so much that I decided to do a second tour the next day....

My boyfriend, myself and another couple (our friends) booked a last minute tour in the morning 8:50am for a tour of an Inca Ruin in Lima and Edwin came at 9:10! A private tour for us four, car and guide, for a very reasonably cheap price. Edwin is a friendly happy man with great humour and deep knowledge of Lima,... More

My mum and I had a great day experiencie with Edwin on this very alternative city tour! You discover how big Lima really is. The shanty town makes a big part out of it, but is not very well known among tourists, but absolutely worth visiting. Edwin was very enthusiast and easy going. happy to answer our thousands of questions:) More

My tour guide, Edwin, was really excellent. He was very encouraging as I practiced my Spanish. He showed me all kinds of things in the city center, but didn't dwell on anything for a really long time, which was great. He spent just the right amount of time on things and he took some pretty good pictures of me with... More

Edwin picked us up from our hotel and took us on a lovely day trip of Lima. He was friendly, knowledgeable and more than happy than to help with taking pictures. Overall we had a fantastic day we would definitely recommend Haku Tours! More

If you are looking for a private tour of Lima, then this the perfect choice. It costs about the same as the big coach tours except they organize small groups ( in my case just myself). You have the option of stopping when necessary and to be able to ask questions without the pressure of ending the tour on time.... More
