Guide #58637
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.

We had a wonderful time exploring Lima. Our guide, Edgar, was outstanding: knowledgeable, accommodating, and thoughtful in curating a tour that matched our interests and expectations. His insights and local expertise made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this tour and, especially, Edgar as a guide.

Hello Dmitri! My dear friend! It was a pleasure for me to show you a side of our city that is not well known. A place where everyday working-class people live and make a living in this country. Also , I learned a lot from your country , you learned from mine. It was a very friendly and educative tour. Liels paldies par visu!
Edgar O. is a consummate professional. He is knowledgable, courteous, friendly, and punctual. He is fluent in English and his accent is easy to understand.

The mini van we traveled in...
