Dear Traveler, My name is Raul. I'm a professional and experienced tour guide in Cusco - Peru for over 20 years. I've been nominated for the Paul Morrison Guide Award 2007, aims to recognize the work of the world's best guides & I been recommended by the Lonely Planet - Peru Guide Book 2007 & 2010 I can provide an amazing service without fail, I go above and beyond the 'call of duty' and my mission is far surpassed your expectations. I am used to working with smaller groups so I offer personal service always according to my guest's interests and wishes. As I own a small company in Cusco (tour operator) I guarantee you a great experience & a memorable trip with my 24-hour assistance. My tours include: visit Cusco, the sacred valley, Macchu Picchu, Titicaca Lake, biking, hiking, site seeing, museums, camping, shopping and of course, learning about the rich culture and history of Peru. On the other hand I bring my passengers off the beating paths like the local markets to expose you to the different types of food, natural healing herbs, and local crafts or exotic shops. We can also make and offering to the Mother Earth or visiting schools in need of help. I'm also very good about tailoring my itineraries to your interests, combining cultural visits with physical activities adjusted to suit your abilities. I'm a passionate about people and history of my country. I have great & profound understanding of the impressive and fascinating architecture, astronomy, botanic, music, gastronomy as well as the deeper mysteries of my culture. I share my friendliness and my extensive knowledge of my beautiful culture showing my clients how the present culture has been shaped by our history and environment. I try to ensure that, as far as possible, we avoided crowds of tourists and were able to experience a bit more of the 'real' Peru. Constantly cross-referenced what I tell my passengers, drawing examples from things they had already seen. I make everyone feel safe, and I am able to accommodate all of the skill levels in my group. Most important I channel my energies into showing you the 'real' Peru, getting us to taste, smell and feel my land. I provide varied activities to ensure that everyone was satisfied. I'm flexible and I'm very happy to follow the preferred itinerary of my clients. Finally I have a positive impact on local sustainability.

We cannot recommend Raul enough. His tour was very educational, entertaining, and greatly enjoyed by the whole family. Raul was very knowledgeable about many diverse subjects related to the region including culture (past and present) architecture, astronomy, history, archaeologolgy, politics, food and more. Any question we asked he was able to answer and elaborate on. His selection of sites to visit was perfect and we all learned many new and interesting things throughout our day with him.
Wow, wow, wow. That is all I can say about Raul. He was so wonderful. We love to use Tours By Locals when we travel and Raul is just the reason why. He took us all through Sacred Valley and was so knowledgeable and kind. We saw ruins, went shopping and ate at an amazing buffet. I would highly recommend Raul!!!
On May 21st we had the pleasure to have Raul as our guide for the morning. He not only took us where we wanted but some unexpected stops to learn more about the people and Peru. At the end of our tour he gave us a CD which I enjoy everyday on my way to work, wow, what a memory. Thanks for the wonderful addition to our trip. Donna & Glenn Wilson
Raul was the X factor that made an amazing trip to Peru an emotional and psychological adventure. He is a gentle man whose passion and pride for his Incan heritage is only matched by the depth of knowledge that he has acquired over the years. It was like an experiential undergraduate course on Peruvian/Incan culture. At the same time, he was very sensitive to the fact that it was our experience and knew exactly when to let us just take it in. Also, an accomplished musician. Highly recommended!
Raul is amazing, his enthusiasm is infectious and our Sacred Valley Tour was fantastic. He obviously loves his job and is very honest and open to the many questions we had for him. The whole day was great and i would highly recommend this tour. We saw 3 sites and spent some time at each and felt like we had a pretty good understanding of the Inca history afterwards. Great to do this tour before Machu Picchu visit.
