Hi, my name is Edgar, very nice to meet you! I'm from Lima city and I've been working here as a licensed tour guide for 7 years now. Guiding and sharing small details, as well as highlights of my country, culture, and traditions to visitors from all over the world is more than just a job to me, it is one of my life's greatest passions. I'm very proud of my heritage since I consider myself as a half indigenous and half spanish descendant. On my tours, I always like to outline and focus not only on the Inca Society (one of the greatest in this part of the world back in the day )but also I focus on the Pre - Inca civilizations as there were many; in that way, you will have a better understanding about our past and historical background. Our history is very old, unique, and diverse, every epoch of it has its own enchantment and that's why it's so interesting On the other hand, my hobbies are spending time with people I love, friends and relatives, watching movies and documentaries; and listening to rock, pop, and some hip-hop music. I enjoy nature too, so every once in a while I take a family trip to the mountains in Peru, which is so relaxing anf peacefull. And last but not least, I also like to meet new people from all over and learn about their culture and traditions, so during your stay in Lima, you will not only find a tour guide in me but also a friend. Come and visit my country, we are going to spend a nice and customized time together! I'm an Official licensed tour guide by the Peruvian Ministry of Tourism I have a degree at Tourism by Cepea Specialized Tourism School. Educated at Icpna , specialized languages school I'm not allowed to pick you up from a cruise ship since independent tour guides currently are not allowed into the docking zone at Callao port. In that case you can contact me to organize a safe and nice meeting point.

    Edgar O. did a good job. He was personable, knowledgeable, and his English was very good - both his vocabulary and his diction. His command of English made the tour ever more pleasant. We had a short walk through the center of the Barranco neighborhood (a good thing to include) and then spent time at Pachacamac where we viewed the two principal buildings (House of the...

    Súper responsive and affable! Guy speaks better English than me. If it weren’t for Edgar I definitely would have went to the wrong bus station, 10/10 would recommend

    Absolutely perfect introduction to Lima! Impeccable communication and personalization right from the start of our experience with Edgar who went out of his way to ensure our small group, including an 87 and an 83 year old, were accommodated and comfortable. It felt more like we had a new friend in Lime, enthusiastically revealing its highlights and hidden gems and...
