After finishing my 3 years photography studies in Lyon (France), and traveling around the world, 6 years later i'm back in Peru. Back to where I started to get into photography. So here I am with my idea of showing you the real Peru, away from the beaten paths, deep in the peruvian culture, and wanting to teach and share all my knowledges about Peru. I deeply felt in love with the country in 2011. Since there, i've never been able to take Peru out of my thoughts. I'm doing all my best to be seen as a peruvian, but ain't the easiest thing when you are tall, blond and with blue eyes. But my way of expressing myself and to understand the peruvian way of thinking make my costumers having an easy contact with the locals. Mixing my European education , with the knowledge I built by living here , and my way of traveling out of the beaten path, I can assure you you are going to love that country as much as I do . Bachelor in Photography. Owner of a Travel Agency specialised in Photography Expeditions I don't have the license to give tours in the Catacombs of Lima, but another licensed guide will guide you during that moment.

Overview of your Lima tour

The Lima Photography Day Tour is the only private tour that will take you to tourist and lesser-known places of the Peruvian Capital. And all of that by walking and using a private car. Is there any better way to discover Lima other than doing it as a "Limeño"? An 8-hour complete Tour of Lima. Start the day in the center of Lima. Go through the central market, Chinatown, from Plaza San Martin to Plaza Mayor. A quick break for a fantastic lunch in Lima's Main Square or elsewhere. I have a lot of options to offer you. We will find somewhere that fits your perfectly. We move to our next stop - Barranco and then the local Fisherman Harbour of Chorrillos, where fishermen, fish sellers, pelicans, and customers meet to buy, sell, or eat the best fish in Lima. El Mirador de la Cruz, El Salto Del Fraile. . . From there we will drive up the hill to see Lima from an outstanding point of view.

This tour was an excellent introduction to Lima. Dan was flexible on the meeting time and number of people in the group, getting a roomier vehicle and an extra guide when we got a larger group. With 2 people, they made sure no one who was slower ever lost the group (and at one point, three of us got a side trip). We got to see parts of Lima we never would have discovered on our own. The guide's relationship with sellers at the market meant we got to try a number of fruits, get explanations on a variety of things for sale, etc. I was also treated to antichuchos and Inka Kola, two things I'd wanted to try.

Dan is an excellent photographer and he showed me many locations around Lima where I was able to get some nice images. As we walked he gave me tips on photographing in Peru. He took me off the beaten path in search of images. All in all, it was a great photographic experience. If you're looking for a photography guide in Peru I highly recommend Dan.

I had a brilliant time with the affable Dan, ably assisted by his excellent driver. The tour of Lima offered me everything that I had hoped for and so much more. The sites we visited ranged from the major tourists spots (including the very impressive cathedral), to the market, a bohemian district and the fascinating fisherman's wharf. There were ample opportunities to take a break for a chat over a cold drink or a coffee, and our lunch in a Chifa was one of the highlights of the tour. Thanks Dan!
