Lima Highlights Full Day Tour: Pachacamac, Barranco & MirafloresA full-day private tour of Lima covers the Pachacamac Sanctuary's temples and museum, the colonial heart with San Francisco's catacombs, the bohemian streets of Barranco, Miraflores' clifftop parks and landmarks, and closes at the Magic Water Circuit's illuminated fountains. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese; private transport and all entry tickets are included. The day runs ten hours and ends with the evening light show.Is it for me?Ten hours is a full day, which means you start early and finish after dark at the fountain show—plan the rest of your schedule around those bookends. If you want to see the major sites without managing five separate tickets and transport between them, the private vehicle and included guide handle both.
Cusco City Tour: Inca Museum, Sacsayhuamán & San Pedro MarketA six-hour guided tour of Cusco covers the Qorikancha temple, Sacsayhuamán citadel, the Inca Museum and San Pedro Market, with a bilingual guide, hotel pickup and guaranteed entry to all sites. The tour mixes archaeological ruins on the city's northern edge with colonial-era museums and a working market eight minutes south of the main plaza, moving between them by foot and transport as needed.Is it for me?Book the shared service if you're comfortable meeting other travelers and want the standard price; choose private service if you prefer a dedicated guide and vehicle for your group. Either way, the six-hour pace holds all four main stops—temples, market, citadel and museum—in a single afternoon without rushing between them.
Arequipa city tour: Historic center and viewpointsThis city tour in Arequipa covers the historic center on foot, then moves by private car to viewpoints around the city where you see the volcanoes Misti and Chachani. A guide in English or Spanish leads both parts; pickup is included. The tour takes three to four hours and suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?Three to four hours leaves room for a meal or another activity in the afternoon. If you want to add the Monastery of Santa Catalina, plan the extra time separately—the tour can leave you at its door, but entry is a separate ticket and visit.
Cusco city tour: Inca Museum, Koricancha & San Pedro MarketA half-day guided tour of Cusco visiting the Inca Museum, Koricancha (the Sun Temple), and San Pedro Market, with an English-speaking guide who walks you through Inca, colonial and modern Cusco. Hotel pickup is included; the tour runs four hours and suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?The four-hour pace means you cover three major stops without a full day commitment, which works if you're splitting your time between Cusco's museums and the Sacred Valley or Machu Picchu. If you want to linger longer at any single site or add the ruins outside the city, a longer tour or separate visits suit that better.
Trujillo City Tour with Archaeological MuseumA guided city tour of Trujillo covers colonial architecture, churches, and the National University Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History, with professional guide and round-trip hotel pickup included. The tour runs three hours and visits multiple sites in sequence; on weekends, some colonial houses and the museum close, so the route becomes panoramic. Minimum two passengers required for shared departures.Is it for me?This is a shared tour, so you'll travel with other passengers—book it if you want a guide to handle the route and the history while you focus on the sites themselves. If you're visiting on a weekday, you get interior access to the museum and colonial houses; weekends mean exterior views only, which suits travelers who want the overview without the time commitment of entering every building.

It's shared, not private, so you'll walk with other travelers; the pace is steady and the neighborhoods are flat and walkable for most fitness levels.

An English-speaking guide leads the group through the ruins and explains the site's history.Is it for me?Book this if you're fluent in English or Spanish; the guide's commentary is your main source of information about the ruins and valley, so limited language skills will leave significant gaps in understanding.

Entrance tickets are not included, so you pay only for what you want to see.Is it for me?This tour moves at a relaxed pace with most time spent in the vehicle between stops, so it suits travelers who want to see Lima's neighborhoods and landmarks without a packed itinerary. The driver is an informal guide rather than a museum expert, which works well if you prefer stories and local context over detailed archaeological or art history—and you can always hire a specialist guide separately if you want to dive deeper into a particular site.
Trujillo: Private Archeological Tour with Local GuideYou’ll wander ancient temples near Trujillo with a local guide who adapts pickup to your cruise timing, explore Chan Chan’s vast ruins, stroll through lively Plaza de Armas, and end by watching surfers at Huanchaco Beach.

Machu Picchu Entrance Ticket: 3 Self-Guided CircuitsYou get an official electronic ticket to Machu Picchu valid for one of three self-guided circuits, each with different routes and viewpoints through the citadel.

The ticket is sent via email after booking and must be presented at the Main Control Gate.Is it for me?Choose this if you prefer to explore Machu Picchu alone at your own speed rather than follow a guide's schedule—the self-guided format means you linger where you want and skip the crowds at popular photo spots, though it also means you navigate the site yourself and miss the historical context a guide would provide.
Cusco: ATV tour to Residence of the Gods with guideYou’ll ride ATVs through Cusco’s outskirts with a local guide, feel mountain air on your face, and stand among giant hand-carved gods at Sencca.
