Great day out - Amazing site to visit,the wealth of history here and the good condition of the structures was like steppingbackin time....(the guide Jose from Peruna made it easy with his wealth of knowledge of the site and his great comprehension of English as I am from New Zealand and only have a little Spanish ).Very punctual pick up and drop off marvelous lunch.

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.

Architectural Discovery - It’s a long (3 1/2 hours), arduous drive, but well worth the drive. Dress appropriately. The desert is rugged terrain. Prepare for a long day.

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.

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!
