Learn everything about Arequipa in one Tour - We 100% recommend this tour to everyone that wants to learn about the city, its history, about the fruits and vegetables on the market and Peru in general. José was such a lovely guide making a tour seem like a conversation between friends.

Great tour! It's worth it! - City tour in the city of Arequipa was great!! It's worth it! Guia José showed us various places, always with information about the history involved. Thank you, José! Much better to know the city with someone local. Visit to the local market together with José was great, much better than if we had gone to visit alone.

A very original way to see the city of Arequipa - We booked this tour of the city of Arequipa to see the city and also discover it through its food and we were not disappointed. Obviously it is not a metropolis, so things to see are limited, but in any case things are there, and they are also very nice with the mountains in the background. Not least the food and the pisco we enjoyed with our guide, who was very nice.

Amazing time!!!! - This tasting tour in Arequipa was honestly one of our favorite parts of our whole trip. We had José as our guide and he was so great. He was super knowledgeable, fun, and just made the whole experience awesome. Our first day in Arequipa we felt a little aimless and not really sure where to go or what to do. Doing this tour early on was a great decision because José gave us such a great feel for the city, took us to places we never would’ve found on our own, and gave us experiences we wouldnt have had without him, like where to actually stop in the market and what to try that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. He shared so much cool info, gave great recs for where to go back later, and made us feel way more connected to the city. It totally changed how we spent the rest of our time there, and we went back to a lot of the places he recommended. At the end, we had a pisco tasting that was so much fun as well. It was a really great time all around and definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly highly recommend!

This tour is well worth it - The Guia José is amazing, had a lot of property to talk about aspects of the history of arequipa, as well as about local cuisine, architecture and customs. The tour lasted more than 3 hours and was not boring, my favorite part was to try various local fruits and the traditional ice cream cheese in the market. I highly recommend

Good introduction to the Arequipa historical area. - Our tour guide Jose informed us of the history of Arequipa and introduced us to various areas of the city which may be of interest to tourists. We spent some time in the market trying drinks and tasting fruits as well as hand made Queso Helado. Delicious. Our final stop was tasting three different brands and strengths of Pisco. Overall a good introduction to Arequipa and Peruvian fruits and drinks.
