North Coast Tours, Tickets & Excursions

"This was a very good tour. It covered everything in the area .the sun and moon temples were amazing as was chan chan. The town was beautiful. We were less keen on the seaside but this was a minor part. The guide alfredo was excellent."

"This company was super helpful from the time we booked the tour till we completed the tour. Our tour guy is very knowledgeable and knows all the history however his presentation can be better. We would like to be informed along the way about going to the next destination. He was quite quiet but still very goo about the history."

"Great experience. Long day and it was great learning about the different civilization. In the middle of the trip we ended up going to a restaurant with a cute dance. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. -Entrance tickets were not included but were reasonably priced. I would def book again."

"This tour is a great intro to two pre-Incan civilizations that are virtually unknown outside of Peru. Plus a side trip to Huanchaco and an excellent seaside lunch. Our guide was very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was very contagious. Great tour!"

"El guia es excelente y lo recomendo por complento! Es muy amable, cuida muy bien a sus clientes. I recommend this tour and this guide to everyone, very professional and well informed, and even helped me to plan other parts of my trip to Northern Peru!"

"Clara our guide was lovely, with passion and in depth knowledge of Trujillo and the Chimu people. Only downside was no port pick up or drop off for cruises, so suggest you pre book a taxi from port to town. It's about 45 mins, and should be 15 to 20 dollars."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Runa Turismo! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and well read about the places we visited and the history. We enjoyed our tour so much we scheduled another for the next day. Seeing the Lord of Sipan museum, Ventarron, Tucume, Eten, and other amazing places made our trip so wonderful. Runa was accommodating of our travel with an infant and our guide was patient whenever we needed to attend to the baby’s needs. He showed us many parts of archaeological sites that might otherwise be overlooked and even took some amazing photos of the birds and wildlife in the carob forest outside of Huaca de las Balsas. We learned so much and had an amazing adventure. If you’re considering a tour, you should absolutely go with Runa, I can’t imagine that you’ll get a better experience elsewhere."

"Our tour guide was Maritza who clearly loves her job and welcomed my endless questions and answered them all. I don’t understand people who say this is a disappointment. It’s a really fantastic place to be. I only wish the tour went a little more slowly. We first visited the Huaca del Iris and then one of the big palaces. Pictures of the place do not do it justice. If you love seeing how ancient societies lived you should go. The sun is intense so sunblock up and wear a hat, but I didn’t find the heat a problem."
