Excelent tour, we really enjoyed the tour with Luis, he showed us the city of Arequipa, in a way we didn't expect it for being a free tour, the best it was the viewpoints, and the alpaca mini zoo, thanks Luis

Wow! I’m blown away by how good this experience was. Juan is exceptional. He’s very passionate and skilled at what he does and he makes you feel completely safe, supported and enthused whilst climbing. Even more, Juan is very knowledgeable about Arequipa’s environment. So not only did we learn more about rock climbing, we also learnt about all the different volcanoes in the region. He also loves to take photos and has a drone! 😅

It was such a great tour. Our guide did a very good job, explained everything with so much enthusiasm. He let us feel the city, gave tips for further activities, places to explore and showed many nice places, perfect views over the city, even let us try some local food and drinks. I definitely recommend the tour with him.

We did a lot of „free guided tours“ in the last years but this was the best. He did a great job to show us the Arequipa. If you visit Arequipa anytime than book Alonso for the tour.👍👍🤩

I was the only one who signed up that evening and had a blast ! It was a shorter tour which i appreciated. We walked around for about an hour and he explained the stories and legends of Arequipa. I’m big on history so I loved learning about some key points of Arequipas history. Gustavo also gave me loads of tips on where to go out / what to do! Definitely recommend
