Tunupa in Cusco serves a 3-course dinner with a live Andean music and dance show, right by Plaza de Armas.
“We had a lot of fun - good food, a good show and good service. Definitely recommended.”
Lima in one day: guided colonial highlights, San Francisco catacombs, local dinner, and the Guinness-level Magic Water night show.
“Our tour guide, Maverick, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was a great story teller and we learned a lot. He also gave us recommendations that we can use throughout the rest of our stay. We really enjoyed this tour and hope to tour with Maverick again!”
Cusco by Night blends Plaza de Armas views, Inca sky lessons at the Cusco Planetarium, dinner, and a Pisco sour, with pickup.
“Excellent service. The tour was great. Would go back anytime. The explanation, the images and then the experience of looking at the planets was great”
See Lima’s Magic Water Circuit fountain show and eat a Peruvian dinner in a 100-year-old house museum, Thu only.
“El Circuito Mágico del Agua tiene un show de las fuentes que dura 15 mins. No se pudo esperar ya que el restaurante con show folclórico queda distante y había que salir antes. Desconocía ese detalle y separó la actividad para disfrutar de todo. Se me indicó ese detalle el mismo día. El Circuito, cena y show folclórico valen la pena.”
Guinness-listed Magic Water Circuit in Lima, a historic house museum stop, and a Peruvian dinner with drinks, plus round-trip transport.
“Negative- we got picked up very late so when we were visiting the water park, we were rushed through and didn’t get as much time or pictures as we liked. We were very late to dinner and caught the last few dances. The food at the buffet was average. Positives- the tour guide was friendly, politely rushing us. the water show and park was amazing, def a must do. The dances that we caught were interesting.. im not sure how “Peruvian” they actually are or authentic, but it was entertaining to say the least. The horse show was very interesting and cool to see how they drove the horses.”
Lima at night: Huaca ruins with a guide, Larco Museum tour, then a 3-course Peruvian dinner at Cafe del Museo in a small group.
“O museu Larco é muito bonito e tem um acervo muito rico. O restaurante é incrível, um lugar inesquecível!”
From Callao Port, tour central Lima, see San Francisco catacombs, enjoy dinner, then watch Magic Water Circuit fountains at night.
“We had a great time touring the city of Lima! We had a 14hr layover which was the perfect amount of time to fit this in. You could even get away with a shorter layover and still make it work as the host is very accommodating of your schedule. I would rank this tour in my top 3 all time favorite tours through Viator, especially thanks to our guide, JJ! He is very knowledgeable about the city/country’s cultural, political, and religious background, and we were able to learn and experience a lot in the time we had with him. Touring the catacombs was definitely a highlight, and JJ provided really…”
Lima at night with Barranco pickup, Magic Water Circuit fountains, neoclassical light show, Hacienda de Paso buffet, dances, and Paso horse.
“El guía bueno , el chofer no respetó varias señales , el tour cambió de restaurante por problemas con su proveedor de restaurante con exhibición de caballos de paso Pero el precio fue el mismo Sin embargo el restaurante dentro del hotel muy bueno y un bonito show folclórico y con excelente atención de los meseros.”
Cusco after dark blends Inca astronomy at Planetarium Cusco, San Pedro Market bites, a pisco sour, Pollo a la Brasa dinner, and lit-up city sights.
“I enjoyed a tour, planetarium presentation and star watching was really interesting and I have learned few new things. Dinner at local restaurant was very tasty and pisco sour delicious.”
Explore Cusco by night with hotel pickup, a 4-hour guided walk, a pisco sour-making lesson, and a local dinner for about $90.
“We did this our first night in Cusco and our guide was Jose. He was amazing! He took us to the Pisco Museum where we got to go behind the bar and made our own Pisco Sours. Jose is so knowledgable about Cusco and the history of the Inka civilization. He was so gracious and he offered us advice on the rest of our trip including our trek to Machu Picchu. If you go to Cusco you should definitely take a tour with Jose you will learn and see a lot of this amazing city. We would definitely go back and do another excursion with Jose and this company.”
Pick a kind of day, and see the best of it.
