    Both trips to and from the airport, they communicated where to be and told me a ton about the area. So awesome!
    They were extremely nice and informative. They reached out to me as soon as my plane landed and told me where they would waiting.

    Terribly organized
    The overflight itself was good, the pilots were amazing. They did their atmost to provide us the best opportunities to see and photograph the geogliphs. BUT, the overall organization and transportation were terrible, to say the least. The driver got to the wrong address for the pickup, to begin with. We were supposed to be on flight from Pisco at 11 am. It was a long 3 hours drive from Lima to Pisco, and we were rushed by the guide to hurry to be on time (10 minutes for toilets and coffee on the half way stop). Once we were approaching Pisco, the guide started to say that we may have problems with the flight due to weather conditions, and that some delays may occuer. We got to the airport on time (before 11 am) . We saw the 11 o'clock flight leaving, not full. The guide then told us that due to "weather conditions" we had to wait till 13 o'clock. This was obviously not true, since we saw the 11 o'clock flight leaving on time. We had to wait for two hours on an empty airport, with no restaurant or place to get food but vending machines. After the airplane came back, we were allowed to join the 13 o'clock flight. As said, the flight itself was realy wonderful. After coming back at 17 o'clock, we had another surprise. We bagged the guide to go to lunch, since we did not eat from the morning. The guide said it is impossible. Insted of going back, already late, to Lima, the guide told us that we are now going to pick up some more passangers. So, we went further south to Paracas, for this pickup. Finally, late in the afternoon we went back to Lima. By this time, the traffic was horrible. We got back to the hotel after 20 o'clock. We have been on the roads from 7 AM to 20 PM, overall 13 hours, for a 1 and half hours of attraction. Most of time with no food, and being rushed by the guide, that also did not bother to provide us with any background information about the attraction itself. We paid a lot of money for this trip, and we felt like being used as hitchhikers on a transportation arrangement for other purposes. It was a grim experience for us.

    The Amazing Country of Peru!
    The visit to Peru was amazing and it was due to the efficiency the agency had in coordinating all the details of the trip. They were on time, all the details were coordinated satisfying our needs to learn and enjoy the culture. We were amazed and our expectations were met beyond our dreams. Peru was fascinating and I suggest that who ever hasn't visit it take a break and go see the wonders Peru offers.

    Experiencing Peru's Enchantment: An Unforgettable Journey with Ronald at Machu Picchu
    First of all, the trip, in general, was amazing. I came with my family of 4, and we had the best time enjoying magical Peru. The staff of Pacifico Peru are so kind and willing to help. My favorite part, by far, was Machu Picchu. Don’t get me wrong, Cusco and Villa Sagrada, as well as Chincheros, were great, but they don't compare to what I experienced at Machu Picchu. Not only did I have the fortune to have the best guide ever (shoutout to Ronald), but the ancient city itself was also amazing. Ronald made us feel more than welcome to be here, and he went above and beyond to make this experience the best I've had so far in Peru. He not only knew a great deal of information and facts that helped us appreciate better what we were looking at, but he also interacted with us like no other guide has ever done before. He knew when to pause to take a deep breath because, I won't lie to you, it is hard to adapt to a new altitude, but he also understood that we were not used to this type of environment and took care of all of us. Another thing I'm really grateful for is that along the way, he had these "Kodak moments" where he would take pictures and videos of all of us in the best spots possible. Believe me when I say I had little faith in the quality of the pictures, but I was so wrong; he has proven to be a better photographer than most of my friends. I sincerely affirm that Ronald made my experience much better. I'm so grateful. Thank you, Ronald!!!

    Amazing country, wonderful people
    We did the Machu Pichu private tour and it was worth it. Our private guide helped us stay away from the crouds while we got a great historical lesson. MP is a once in a lifetime must see!

    Would use again for airport transfers!
    I used this service for a transfer from the Lima airport to our hotel in Miraflores. I appreciated all the info/instructions provided at the time of booking and it was pretty easy to find our driver. Just went outside the airport and found him with a sign with my name on it. It was really hectic there so I was glad I had my transport pre-arranged. We chose to just have a Spanish speaking driver even though I speak very little Spanish - it worked out just fine! Our driver's name was Luiz and he was very professional and seemed very kind! He got us safely to our hotel and the van was comfortable. I would book again if I'm ever back in Lima again!

    Best day trip to Machu Pichu w. Jaime!!
    Had the best time with our tour guide Jaime on the 1 day (3.5 hour) tour to Machu Picchu. He was super responsive, fun, and totally catered the experience to our needs. He was so knowledgeable (18 years experience) and also shared great personal stories with us as well (futbol, volleyball, family, travel and more). This was a once in a lifetime experience and we are so grateful!

My guide was Gabriela. She was superful helpful and informative throughout the tour. She spoke fluent English. The sights were beautiful. It's pretty much old colonial buildings and monestaries. I would recommend this trip.

The tour guide Daniel and the driver Eduardo were great very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was mainly based on the Catholic presence brought in from Europe mainly Spain. I personally would have loved to have gone to a geological site and learnt more about ancient Peruvian culture. This was a great tour and I can't mark it down due to this when it does state the places it goes.

You could ask any question, no matter pre historic, inca civilization, or about the colonization, he will give you the right answer. We really enjoyed having Mayrol with you. We learned a lot. Thank you so much.

2-hour tour and not 4-hour tour as advertised. Never made to the main square - instead visiting the coastal area next to our hotel! Change never announced to us ! - poor responsiveness from the organizer who refused to refund the tour that never happened as advertised!
Will be contacting Viator for refund.

It was thanks to our guide Luis, who told a lot about the history of Lima and interesting facts. However, the time spent in the traffic is extremely long. Willing more time walking and seeing sights closely.
Don't consider the trip worth the money.

The minibus was at our hotel just a few minutes early. We went to another hotel and picked up a couple and then the 5 of us were off. We stopped at Love Park overlooking the Pacific. We got a glimpse of Larcomar, the shopping mall cut into the hillside.
Our driver took us all around the city center despite the horrendous traffic. We went to the cathedral and had a lovely tour. We walked around the main square where the bus met us and took us to the Monastery. Our guide gave a grand tour.
At the conclusion of the tour of the monastery our driver met us and negotiated the horrible traffic to return us to our hotel.
We had a guide, driver and entrance fees to our locations. It’s a great deal.

This was a 3.5 hour tour of basic sights around the city of Lima. The cost was $40 USD per person. Stops include Main Square of Lima where you will see the Government Palace of Peru and the Cathedral of Lima. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about each site that we visited. This is a great and simple way to see some city attractions.
