About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- FanfanF250 contributionsWonderful bike tour to see the beauty of Limawe joined the bike tour with guide Miguel and he is excellent. He brought us to many beautiful part of Lima and tell us story about Lima. He is so caring, detail and thoughtful. He even bought us water during the break. This 3 hours bike tour makes us know Lima better and definitely recommend to join during your visit!Written March 13, 2025
- Peter B0 contributionsWonderful introduction to Perú.Jonathon was an outstanding guide. He passionately shared his knowledge of the unique flavours of Perú, while weaving in historical and cultural notes. The food we tasted was wonderful and the venues terrific.Written February 27, 2025
- NCTravelfan580 contributionsGreat value for the moneyRuddy was an awesome tour guide. No one else signed up so it was just the two of us. I learned so much about the food culture of Lima. The coffee, churro, pork sandwich, rice pudding, fish ceviche, and pisco sour were all great. The tour of the fruit market was interesting too.None of the locations were crowded, so I never felt rushed. It was very relaxing.Written January 26, 2025
- sarahwX117HM0 contributionsTransfers and multiple tours - ALL FANTASTIC!Travel Buddies provided us with airport pickups (Ayeman), two customized all day tours (guide Ruddi, driver Pedro) and a Food Walking tour (guide Miguel). The response from the owner (Caesar) was almost immediate and he met me at the beginning to the food tour to introduce himself and thank me for my business. Ayeman was holding signs for us at the airport and was so very courteous and the transportation clean with excellent AC. (He waited for four hours in the middle of the night for one of our group who had missed the earlier flight) I was the only one on the food tour & was surprised they didn't cancel, but was informed they never cancel tours for low numbers which is unusual in my experience. The stops on the tour were diverse and the food delicious. Miguel had lots of wonderful information to share about his city & he insisted on carrying a 40 pound box of school supplies that I was taking to a local school for me for 2 hours! That was above and beyond the call of duty! Rudi did an excellent job herding around 8 ladies! We did a shopping tour on one day and a city highlights tour on the next day with transfers from our hotel and pick up and drop off at the Calleo cruise terminal. His driver Pedro was so polite and kind and helped the ladies on and off the bus and carried shopping purchases! We had lunch at the Larco museum (not included but excellent) and also at a beautiful old house (included). Rudi did an excellent job anticipating the needs and desires of our group and we all agreed the three days we spent with Travel Buddies could NOT HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. I would look no further if I was needing transfers and tours in Lima and their prices are great too!Written January 13, 2025
- sarahwX117HM0 contributionsGreat walking tour and delicious and diverse food tasting!Excellent response time from the company and Ceasar the owner arrived at the first stop of the tour to introduce himself and thank me for my business. I was the only one on the tour and Ceasar informed me that they never cancel even if there is only one person which I was very impressed with. Miguel was the tour guide. His English is excellent and he is very passionate about his city and his job. We rode the bus from Mireflores into the center of Lima and it was very fun. The stops on the tour included the local market and china town and the food was very diverse and all delicious! Miguel was such a gentleman and insisted on carrying a 40 pound box of school supplies he helped me purchase for a local community. I would highly recommend Miguel as a guide and the Travel Buddies Flavors & Tradition walking tour with Food tasting.Written January 13, 2025
- JTR11170 contributionsWell worth your timeJair was excellent. We were going to do a tour of Lima later so I waned to do some thing different. The food tour of Miraflores was a great choice. Good food and drink and very educational.Written January 7, 2025

- AliceLiddell0 contributionsJonatha was a great guide!The experience started with a trip to a local coffee shop that grows and roasts its own beans. What a treat! I love coffee, and it was great to hear the different ways beans are harvest and to sample the effect on the flavor. I took a bunch of tours in Peru, and Jonathan was a true standout. His English was excellent, and he explained everything slowly and carefully. Can't recommend enough.Written November 14, 2024
- SurayaB990 contributionsDo itA fun way to enjoy some local food, drink, culture, and just get out to see Miraflores. We really enjoyed all the tastings and our time with Miguel. He was very friendly, well organized, and thoughtful. We appreciated having such a nice guide.Written November 7, 2024
- Trip094518956540 contributionsJonathan was amazing!Our tour guide Jonathan was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and showed us the best things in Lima on our half day tour. Jonathan also gave us plenty of recommendations for after our tour had finished including the ruins and places to eat. A great trip!Written November 5, 2024
- anaradic0 contributionsWonderful time trying delicious food unique to Peru.We had an amazing time learning about and tasting so many foods and drinks that are unique to Peru with our wonderful guide Miguel. The tour was in the centre of Lima, the old town, which is architecturally stunning. Miguel was very knowledgable about not only gastronomy but also the history of Lima; we learned so much from him and he was truly a delight. I highly recommend this tour for all the reasons noted above but also because we likely would not have eaten some of the unique and delicious food otherwise. Final comment - come hungry as you will be absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour.Written November 4, 2024

We had such an amazing time on this tour! It is the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, starting off taking a boat ride to see the wildlife on the Ballestas Islands, then going to the Huacachina Oasis for dune bugging and sand boarding, and finally going to the pisco winery for some amazing food and fantastic drinks! Aymen, our guide, went above and beyond to make our experience special, including giving the best food/drink recommendations and stopping so we could see wild flamingos during our drive! He was so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about life in Peru during our drive, which only added to the experience. Highly recommend booking this tour!

We had an excellent tour experience with our guide Rudy and driver Rodolfo. We learned a lot about Perú’s culture and history. The ride went smooth; Rodolfo is a careful driver. Rudy made sure we were attended speedily in the Ballestas Islands’ tour were we boarded a motorboat with other tourists, and was there waiting for us when we returned. The boat trip was superb- got to see many different birds and sea lions. The buggy ride in Huacachina was a lot of fun; safe riding. Lunch went well with typical food at a nearby restaurant. Wine & pizco tasting was interesting. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

The Driver (Martin) and tour guide (Jonathan) were amazing and took care of us the whole trip. Jonathan Had very good knowledge about everything we wanted to know about. As this was a personal tour we could even plan individual stops like watching the sunset at the beach... This was no issue at all.
Everything was perfect and we couldnt have asked for more. Absolutly recommended.

I highly recommend using Travel Buddies Perú. My husband and I booked a private tour thinking it would be a small group of people. To our surprise, the tour was for us only. Jacie and Aymen picked us up at the hotel and took us on what would be the most unforgettable, and unique experience we have ever experienced. Jacie and Aymen treated us like family. We had purchased the package of Islas Ballestas, winery tour and Huacachina with the sand dunes. The Islas Ballestas and winery were closed to the public, but they took us to different places to make up for the closures. Love these two, you can't go wrong with them

What an excellent choice and travel partners! Miguel and Carlos were the best companions, caring and helpful. We travelled together for more than 15h visiting the beautiful and diverse habitat of Ballestas islands, the thrilling and fun Huacachina oasis and the Pisco tasting. It was one of the most comfortable trips and this was due to our guides (and a great, sparkling clean car!). Miguel was knowledgeable, caring like a friend and Carlos was the most calm and smiling driver. They gave the most positive, friendly energy, totally recommend them! Thanks guys for making my anniversary memorable.

I did the full day tour of Ballestas, Huacachina, and Pisco vineyard with Pablo. Well worth the early wake up and long drive. Pablo kicked off the tour with some interesting information about Lima and its neighborhoods as we were driving out of the city. Loved his calm demeanor. Ballestas and Huacachina are a great mix of fun activities and sightseeing. And the Pisco tastings and delicious meal at La Catador are a perfect ending. I highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing day! Aymen was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. He was full of interesting information and recommendations and always so helpful every step of the way. He made our experience feel like we were just visiting our local friend and him showing us around his home. Every part of the trip was perfect. It was the best start to our time in Peru. I would highly recommend this specific tour and with Travel Buddies, but be sure to request Aymen as he truly added to our experience. Thank you for an incredible day!

This trip was the highlight of our long weekend in Lima! Pablo was the best guide I've ever had in my travels. He was knowledgeable, flexible, friendly, and a great driver.
The highlight of the trip is hard to chose but the dune buggies were my favorite. Our pick up was at 4:20am and we returned to the hotel by 7pm (our tour was just the 2 in my party, no others). Don't let the early pick up deter you. It's well worth it for all that's packed into this day and there is time to rest during the car rides

Alfonso was a great guide. He made the trip special and gave us a lot of information on top to the places we visited. The sand buggy and boarding were lots of fun. The pelicans, penguins and sea lions cool to watch. I also liked that we saw the candelero lines of the shore. It gives you an idea about the Nazca lines. I definitely recommend the day trip.
