Super interesting - The very long drive there was worth it. The remnants of this very old civilization were very interesting. I have more questions than answers since the excavation is ongoing. I liked that we could see the stages of excavation and the explanations given by our guide were good. It was not busy with too many people and that made it easy to enjoy the tour. If I ever go back to Peru, I'll be doing this tour again anticipating new information. I was unable to get on the Peruna tour when I arrived in Lima so appreciate the effort by Peruna tours to ensure I was able to go the day I was returning to Canada.

Eye-opening tour - Fascinating tour. Jose was a great guide, very knowledgeable. Included lunch (own expense) and stop in Barranca. It wad a very long day but a good experience. Only downside was the bus wasn't very comfortable with the seats being tight. Luckily the bus wasn't full but if so then it would be even less so.

Great archeological site - Visiting Caral was a great experience. It's an important step in the development of civilization in the Americas. It's a long drive and day from Lima, but worth it. Our driver was flexible and adjusted the itinerary somewhat to take into account the interests of both people on the tour and we really appreciate it. Driver was prompt and great at navigating tough Lima traffic.

Great experience with Caral trip - The trip was excellent. Out guide Kathiya was very nice. The guide and the driver were very patient, gave us lot of time at both Caral and Barranca. They took us to a very nice restaurant and helped us to chose good dishes. At Caral, they explained us the place very well, they even helped us to convert currency. I highly recommend them.

Interesting and Educational - Amazing and hard to imagine that Peru has ruins older than the pyramids in Egypt but they do. Several large pyramids (5 or 6) undergoing excavation at one stage or another. Jose our guide provided an excellent tour of the ruins, answered all our questions and was very informative. It’s a long day but well worth the time.

Historical Ruins, Good Lunch - I wouldn't say there was a most memorable part of the strip caral itself was very informative and very cool. After corral the tour continue to eat lunch by the ocean at a very nice restaurant delicious ceviche then there is one more small stop. My tour guide was very smart and informative plus had a great personality. My only complaint with the tour is it is all day and lunch is not included nor is breakfast, for breakfast you do stuff off at a gas station so you can get snacks and coffee.

Very disappointing - The 12 hour tour turned into 16 hours. Dropping off people at airport. Get dropped last! No communication with our guide until he wanted a tip! Never again!

Disappointing - This trip was cancelled by the vendor reason uncertain. I did not get to go to Caral. I was very disappointed and I could not book with another vendor either.
