It was an okay tour. Be advise that the air in Lima is really bad if you suffer from allergies or have breathing problems, take a mask.

Prepare to get dusty as you get out into the desert region. The tour of the museum on site was an added bonus, before we went out to see the archeological site of Pachacamac.

The tour guide was very good. As we drove to Pachacamac she told us a lot about the neighborhoods we were driving through. I wish the temple itself had been more completely excavated. Also, be advised that it is quite a long climb up to the top of the temple for anyone who has a physical disability. In my case a heart condition.

Zero stars. The tour guide claims to have come to our hotel and asked for us which we do not believe. We left word with the hotel that we were in the dining room and then when we were in the lobby. No one contacted us. When the hotel concierge called to follow-up the tour operator claims their person was there. I asked why they did not contact our cell phone or email and they claimed Viator does not provide that information. They further claimed the hotel was going to lie anyway. As a result, we had to separately arrange a visit and we are still out our 107 with Viator. I am extremely disappointed, especially as I have used Viator in the past and they usual work with credible tour operators.

We had a wonderful tour of Pachacamac! The guide gave us a really nice driving tour of the city as well as of the site which gave us a chance to see parts of Lima we would not have otherwise seen. He also suggested the Micro theatre in Barranco which was a highlight for us and we would not have known of otherwise.

This site is well worth the visit, and the tour was of great value because of our knowledgeable guide. He explained not only the site, but also everything we drove by on the way to it. Driving in Peru is not for the faint of heart, so we recommend a tour or, at minimum, a taxi._br/_ It is fascinating to see how the Incan and earlier civilizations adapted to the desert, especially if you have seen stone ruins around Cusco and Machu Picchu. The top of the pyramid is one of the few places in the world you can see desert, lush greenery, freshwater ponds, and the ocean from the same vantage point - and use that sight to build an understanding of why Peru was one of the seats of human civilization.

Not very interesting or informative tour.
Review by: Maria H, November 2017
This trip was ruined. Pachacamac is next to a huge cemetery. The trip took place on 1st November and I wasnt told that there would be a huge pilgrimage to the cemetery. The journey there took 2 hours! And I had a flight back to the UK that evening. I made it in plenty of time but it was stressful and the guide didnt tell me that we would be going back a different route. This would have made it less it less stressful once wed got there. The ruins were lovely but it wasnt worth the stress or the two hour journey to get there.

Worth doing if you need to fill some time.

Let me start out by saying that the only reason I am giving this a four star rating is that we did not go to the very top of the Temple of the Sun. Aside from that the guide was excellent, the museum outstanding and Informative. We got to see most of the important features of the site for the time we had to cover them.

Well run!
Review by: Heather, September 2017
This tour takes you by bus through a good part of the site, which is beneficial if you have trouble walking or just don't feel like it. The entire site is quite expansive. Even though this may not be as impressive as Machu Picchu, it had interesting qualities that our guide was eager to point out. The views from the top overlooking the ocean are breathtaking. While I did enjoy the bus driving us around, I would have liked more time to walk around and explore, particularly the temple at the top. I also would have liked more time in the museum, as we felt rushed to only hit a few highlights before exploring the actual site. My guide was very patient as well. I had booked the English tour and ended up being the only non-Spanish speaker on my bus. Even though I could pick out a bit of the Spanish, he was great about repeating what he had said to everyone else in English for me, so I could know what was going on. I recommend this tour if you're looking to get away from the city for a bit and see more Peruvian archeology.

Great tour!

Interesting place - not enough time to see the whole place
Review by: cally h, September 2017
If you are looking for something to do outside of the city this little half day tour is a good way to spend the afternoon.
Review by: Shirley A S, September 2017
If you only have a few days in Lima and want to see a large historic city I would recommend this tour. The hour bus ride takes you through some shanty towns to a very large site with a beautiful ocean view. This site overlooks modern day civilization so you get a flavor of how the culture evolved. There is a lot of walking, stairs, and a museum. The tour guide shared many interesting stories making the site come alive. This was our fourth historic site and the only large tour we experienced. I would recommend going to this site with a smaller group.
