Duration: 2h
Languages: Spanish
Quality Verified Registered on June 19, 2023

Hello, my name is Joan Manuel, I am a native of Callao, the main port of Peru. I have a degree in Tourism Administration from the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Dean of America. I am very passionate about history, both of Peru and of the World. One of my great pleasures is Soccer, both practicing it and enjoying it on television. About 5 years ago I started working as a guide and the truth is that it was the first time that I really enjoyed a job to the fullest. I am grateful to have the luck of being able to work on what I like and enjoy.

Joan was an amazing guide! He was very charismatic, was able to answer all of our questions and was very informative, and we had a lot of fun with him. We didn’t get to try all of the foods that were listed in the description of this tour, but we also got to try several that weren’t listed, so it all worked out!
