I did a walking tour of Plaza de Armas with Wilson and I am so glad I did. I learned so much about the area I would have otherwise never known. He showed me all the main attractions and knew the important history behind them. We had a good time and he took some awesome photos for me. Thank You Wilson.

“I wish we would have known about this when we first got there. It was one of the main highlights of our whole trip. Wilson was super nice and speaks English, Spanish and French so he had no problem talking in English the whole time to our group. Learning a bit of the history, getting to know the must-see locations, getting kissed by alpacas and finding THE cheapest and most amazing selection of 100% alpaca sweaters were all highlights! We highly recommend this free walking tour! Totally wish we had an extra day to learn more from Wilson!”
