About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- A8987GKmarks0 contributions4 great days in N coastal PeruDilser and Norte Expedition were subcontracted by our tour company to look after the two of us for 4 days in N Peru, seeing us to and from airport/buses, and taking us to sites in and around Chiclayo and Trujillo. Dilser was an excellent, knowledgeable English-speaking guide (who knew everyone!), prompt and reliable as well as flexible and good humoured. We really appreciated his contribution to our great 3 weeks in Peru and for opening our eyes to the pre-Incan civilisations in the north. We definitely recommend his services!Written October 10, 2024
- F8705YGannettef0 contributionsAn incredible tour from start to finishWe spent the day with Dilser, who gave a very detailed and interesting walk through of La Huaca de La Luna y Sol, and Chan Chan. The size and level of detail of these sites is amazing, but we learned so much from Dilser that it was most definitely worth hiring a guide. Would highly recommend.Written September 26, 2024
- Shawn y0 contributions非常精彩的考古之旅我在Dilser的导游下游览了整个遗址和旁边的小镇。尽管现在是淡季,但他仍然非常尽责和热情的指导了整个行程。考古遗址的行程内容信息度很高,十三年的经验让他非常专业,讲解了许多丰富又有意思的细节,整个旅行充满友谊、欢乐、信任和知识。 I had an incredible tour of the archaeological site and the nearby town guided by Dilser. Despite it being the off-season, he was extremely dedicated and enthusiastic throughout the entire trip. His 13 years of experience truly showed as he provided high-quality, detailed information about the site, sharing many interesting and insightful details. The entire tour was filled with friendship, joy, trust, and knowledge. Highly recommend!Written September 6, 2024
- michaelbQ4121ME0 contributionsOutstanding tour operator!I contacted and arranged for two full day tours with North Expedition in Trujillo. Communication was always prompt and clear, with tours easily arranged and flexible when having to change dates. Pick-up was on time and transport very comfortable. The tours were very well organised with plenty of time at the sites with excellent knowledge shared. Also helped to arrange tours for me in Chiclayo and Chachapoyas which was very much appreciated and also of a very high standard. Highly recommend this tour agency for your tours in Trujillo!Written July 21, 2024

- 119aartip0 contributionsHighly recommend Norte ExpeditionHighly recommend choosing Norte Expedition for your tour guide. I was with Dilser for a full day tour in English - he is incredibly knowledgable and answers your questions with a lot of passion and detail. One of my favourite tours I’ve done in South America! They were also super helpful in finding availability for me.Written April 11, 2024
- B4721VZscottb0 contributionsGreat Tour in Salaverry PeruWhile on a cruise, a group of 8 of us booked a private tour with Norte Expedition in Salaverry, Peru. Instead of booking through the cruise line Dilser gave us a fantastic tour of Huanca del Luna and del Sol and Chan Chan archeological sites. Dilser did an excellent job of explaining the ruins and guiding the tour. We got much more value for the money than if we had booked through the cruise line. I highly recommend Dilser if you have a stop in Salaverry.Written January 20, 2024

- Kathryn P0 contributionsA great day with Dilser Alfaro Oliva in Trujillo, PeruDilser Alfaro Oliva is an excellent & professional licensed guide with very good English skills. If you want more than a taxi driver, this is your man. He is able to pick up @ the cruise ship because he is authorized to do so. He can be reached on WhatsApp + 51 934-346-499 We had a full day for the two of us & he organized the time perfectly. Huaca de la Luna (super interesting) lunch at Huanchaco - surf & beach area Chan Chan museum & walk around the sight His vehicle is in great condition with seat belts and air conditioning. Enjoy!!

- Theresa K0 contributionsBest English speaking tour of Trujillo and Huanchaco!! We loved everything about our tour!Fantastic day spent with Dilser!!! Dilser has excellent English skills and completely helped us understand everything that we had questions about. Visited Temple of the Moon, lunch in Trujillo, followed by Chan Chan. Not once during the day did we feel rushed or like we were asking too many questions. I can’t emphasize the quality of this tour - his patience with our questions, knowledge of the historical and archeological processes involved, as well as his local expertise far surpass many other tours we have been on. At times, we felt like we were with a celebrity - he is well known and locals always smile when he comes around. Highly recommend Dilser and Norte Expedition Tours if you are in the Trujillo and Huanchaco region.Written January 3, 2024

Dilser was an amazing guide and so kind and informative. He picked me up from my hotel and went above and beyond in proving a first class Priavte tour and these amazing archaeological sites. So glad I was able to have such a intimate guide without the hassles of a large tour group and buses.

Dilser Alfaro Oliva is the best tourguide I ever had! He‘s very experienced. His knowledge is huge. The way he tell about this old culture is very interesting. And he knows much more than this culture.
A pity that I didn‘t have more time to do another tour with him.

I took my 9-year-old daughter to Chan Chan, had already been twice. Dilser, our Guide was extremely punctual, polite and had an extreme patience with Helena. We had lunch in Huanchaco and then we went to see the horse show. From the purchase until our arrival dr back to the hotel everything transported well, with many accurate explanations and important tips. Super point to the North Expedition.

Our visits to many archeological sites (Chan Chan, Huaca Del Sol and La Luna, Huaca El Brujo) came alive with our guide, Dilser's careful explanations and detailed interpretation of what we were seeing. He was able to bring alive excavation sites with stories of ancient civilizations and practices. We especially appreciated his knowledge of ancient and modern Peruvian cultures, accompanying us to unique villages such as Moche where he described the architecture, art, inhabitants and ancient shaman practices. His exceptional knowledge and warm, friendly, caring personality made this an unforgettable experience. He comes highly recommended.

I noticed that you have an age level of 15-50. I am 76 and in good shape. Do you not recommend this tour for those over 50?
Written September 2, 2019
The tour is suitable for anyone who is physically active and able to walk over rough ground and varying elevations. There should be no age limitation attached to this. I travelled with many in my group who were over 75 but fit and all managed without difficulty.
