Great guides. The historic center is a little worse for wear but the guides did everything to make up for it. The dinner was really tasty -- Peruvian Chinese cuisine and the Magic Water tour was the perfect end to a lovely day

Of course the guide makes all the difference, and Felipe from Chasky Xpeditions was excellent. He shared all the highlights as well as “rest of the story” details. I loved when he would challenge us to identify which building was older and then explain each’s history. The Magic Waters Park has an interesting history, and the laser light show was not as expected, it was much better.This company is amazing!

This company is amazing! Haku Tours donates $$ from every tour to the poorest neighborhoods in Lima, helping to provide education, day cares, soup kitchens, and more. Love to spend my money with companies that have such great values. The tour was lovely! Got a great dose of history driving through the city and walking around the historical center, seeing the catacombs was really interesting, and we had a great meal of the best chicken broaster in town. We also stopped for Peruvian churros along the way for a snack, and finished the night with a tour of the water fountain park which was pretty unique and the park works Inca culture and history into the fountains which we enjoyed. Overall would recommend this tour to help you learn more about the history of Lima!Amadeo was an amazing guide to his incredible city!

Amadeo was an amazing guide to his incredible city! We came to Lima knowing very little and after our tour felt like a local. His knowledge of the history, culture and daily life of Lima is truly impressive. Amadeo treated us like old friends and we enjoyed our almost 5 hours together so much. The churros and pisco recommendations were delicious. If you are looking for a tour of the real Lima, I can’t recommend Haku Tours more.Aurora was a fantastic guide. She was a wealth of information both about the tour and on every other Peruvian question we had. There was never a dull moment as she always kept up the conversation and pleasantness.
