A Special Experience
Chinte P,,Dec 27, 2025
- Review from Viator
4.00Tour operator was very professional. We got all the necessary information ahead of tour. Tour guide was also very energetic to tell the site history. The only problem was the AC of "air -conditioned vehicle" was turned off then windows were wide open, so we suffered stinky smell all the way from Chan Chan to cruise terminal.
Great tour guide but note that the tour is a small group tour and not private

4.00Our tour guide did a great job ensuring we were able to visit each of the sites especially since the security people at Chan Chan were reluctant to let us visit. She was knowledgeable and really worked hard to keep the group together and on time to meet the cruise requirements. On a separate note, I would recommend that the promotion of this tour be clarified as the title "private customized" is not accurate with a tour group of ~15 people.

4.00It was a great experience but important to request an English speaking guide. Our main guide was fluent in English but when we got to the main sites our guide was changed to a guide that was not fluent and left us quite confused as we did not understand most of what she was saying.
Ancient Civilization Tour

5.00Cynthia was an amazing guide who provided rich background and was knowledgeable about the ancient indigenous Moche civilization! She clearly communicated and we covered the Temple of the Sun & Moon (visited there). the plaza and old colonial home where Simon Bolivar stayed, and then visited the UNESCO Chan Chan site! Our driver got us back in time! It was excellent! Bring your own water and snacks and you will be fine!
Great tour of Trujillo, Chan Chan and Temples

5.00Despite some hiccups by our cruise line that didn’t allow us to start until 10:30, the tour operators did a great job taking us to Trujillo, Chan Chan, and the Sun & Moon Temples; all in 5 hours. Highly recommend bringing water and snacks to eat along the way as we didn’t have the time to stop and eat during the tour.
Interesting excursion

5.00Recommended! With our tour guide (Raoul) and the bus driver we were completely satisfied. Fortunately, the weather gods also played along.
Disappointed with this tour. Full tour bus. Customized?

3.00We were disappointed with this tour by Mochilea Peru. Although the tour is called 'customized' we did not see any indication of this and the title is misleading. It cannot be customized as it is a large group tour. I booked through Viator and should have read the reviews. We took the first shuttle off the cruise ship to a small square in town where there were many guides waiting/looking for customers. We then had to wait well over 30 minutes for the other passengers to arrive. There seemed to be two balanced groups of people on the lists so we thought there would be 2 separate tours. Eventually we were all put on a bus that had no working a/c and was not that clean. It is not the company's fault that we then sat waiting for the last passengers to arrive. There were 2 guides on the bus but the groups were not divided equally. One guide took about 4 Spanish speaking customers and the other guide took about 23 people. Not a very equal division. The Temple of the Sun is not open but the tour includes The Temple of the Moon. The guide did explain the sites well although please note that the speed of the tour, which included some uphill walking/steps, may not suit anyone with mobility issues. We did not visit the museum and there was no explanation for this. Chan Chan was interesting but largely a reconstruction. The tour then headed for a beach and we were given 10 minutes to walk around. We felt this part of the tour was rushed and the beach wasn't really worth visiting. Conclusion: this was a large group tour. Benefit - the ship might wait for almost 30 passengers if they are late!
Booked, paid, a total mess!

1.00This trip was a total mess. We were not picked up at the port as booked. The meeting point, which we were told 2 days before, was at a hotel in the city about 1/2 hour away. We had to take the taxi ($20) there. Once there, there was no guide and no one knew anything about a travel agency Mochilea. With the help of friendly passers-by we found after a half hour a travel agency "Colonial Tours" , where after a phone call with the manager of the company, Mr. Julio Gonzalez , and at the same time our responsible guide, who was to our astonishment but in Lima, at least got the statement that we could participate in a tour. This tour did not correspond in any way to the tour we booked!!! We were transported to an unair-conditioned minibus to 8 other Spanish passengers. At least a German-speaking elderly gentleman was given to accompany us. We visited a mocho culture site, a ceramics factory and the museum at the Moon Pyramid. Then a tour of the moon pyramid (about 45 min) and then we went back to Trujillo. End!. In total, this tour lasted about 3 hours. We had booked a private full-day tour in an air-conditioned limousine to the various places of worship of Trujillo and were very upset and disappointed at what we were offered. We received no refund whatsoever, let alone an apology from the agency.
Lots of Worth-it Walking

5.00Well organized tour with knowledgeable tour guide. Great sites. Bring water, sunscreen, and snacks as no opportunity for lunch. Not for those that have trouble walking.
Great Overview of Trujillo Area

5.00We rode by the Temple of the Sun which is not open to visitors and had an extensive tour of the Temple of the Moon and Chan Chan. We also visited one of the Colonial homes in Trujillo as well as the beautiful cathedral. Our final stop was for a quick glimpse of the beach town. We did not get to see the museums, but our time was limited because of our cruise's schedule. Do bring water for your excursion and prepare for spending a good deal of time walking in the sun.
