Excellent experience! - "An unforgettable experience! The Huaca Pucllana + City Tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Mario, was exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable about the place, provided us with a detailed explanation about the history and culture of the site. The combination of Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca archaeological site, with the City Tour, which includes the historic center and catacombs, was impressive.
The logistics were impeccable, with comfortable transportation and everything very well organized. I loved the way Mario made us feel part of the story, explaining every detail with passion and enthusiasm.
Highly recommended!
Don't miss it!"

Mario, a spectacular guide to Huaca Pucllana - Our guide, Mario, is a person who knows a lot about the history of Peru, especially the archaeological site Huaca Pucllana. It conveys enthusiasm and, despite the warmth, the talk was enjoyable, very enriching and fun. I recommend it 100/100. It's worth it!

Great guides add so much, Mario was that kind of guide. - Mario was fantastic. His knowledge of Peruvian history, culture, religions was expansive and he was able to place things in the context of history and culture from various places around the world. I travel a lot and running into a great tour guide always adds enormously to the trip. Mario was that kind of tour guide, a huge addition to the stay in Lima.

Informative and interactive. - Very educated about the location and history. Very interactive and personal. A wonderful tour guide. My guide allowed me to ask questions and answered them all thoroughly. Able to explain the history in detail and used information that he learned from the archeologist. I would have him as my tour guide again and definitely recommend him!

Excellent Service!!! - Very attentive and respectful.
He knows the place and the history, and presents it in an orderly and synthetic way. The tour is very relaxed, enough time to see the whole place and without being too detailed if you are not asked.
Highly recommended visit and excellent guide experience

The best experience with the Mario-Chololindo guide - We went with my travel partner from Colombia and loved the tour to Huaca Pucllana. The guide Mario went overboard, explained everything super clear and patiently. We are very grateful for your Service, it made the experience even more special.

Top professional tour of Lima with Mario - Mario was an excellent guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and has a passion for Peru. The tour included a visit to a local market which was a highlight for us, where we tasted the local produce. Mario gave a great insight into life in Lima past and present as we toured the various parts of Lima city. The tour was well planned and did not at all feel rushed.
I would highly recommend this tour.
