El chofer tenía mucha prisa por llegar a destino y lo justo hizo las paradas obligatorias, muy breves. En el trayecto Chivay Arequipa, el guía muy bien, pero el autobús era muy antiguo, no tenía cinturones de seguridad operativos. No volvería a reservar con esta agencia.”

Larco Museum, Pisco Old Tavern and Magic Water Circuit Evening Tour

9.Larco Museum, Pisco Old Tavern and Magic Water Circuit Evening Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $75

Travel by air-conditioned minivan from your Lima hotel to the Larco Museum, a colonial mansion filled with ancient Peruvian ceramics and jewelry. A guide such as Victor, Gabriela, or Maria del Carmen adds context before a tavern stop for a snack and pisco sour, followed by Lima’s spectacular Magic Water Circuit.

“The guide was very knowledgable at the museum. The light show was very disappointing. I booked the tour for the interest in the light show. You could do the light show on your own for only 2 soles. If you are looking for an English guide, be aware that they are usually small groups or by yourself. I was by myself on this tour - could be why I didn't enjoy it.”

From Cusco: 2-Night Lake Titicaca Excursion

10.2-Night Lake Titicaca Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 62 reviews · 3 days · from $86

Travel from Cusco to Puno by Peru Hop’s overnight bus, then cruise to the Uros floating islands, Amantani Island, and Llachon Peninsula with a bilingual guide. You return to Cusco the next morning. The trip is busy, scenic, and built around transport savings rather than comfort.

“La guida e il trasporto niente da dire ma l‘escursione in generale é stata pessima. Non siamo andati a vedere la popolazione Uros ma siamo stati solamente su una mini isola e poi da lì in un’altra isola dove c’era soltanto un ristorante. Praticamente una gita per spendere soldi in souvenir. Di fronte a noi c’era il villaggio Uros che abbiamo visto soltanto da lontano. Terribile.”
