Informative and varied
The tour provided a great overview for someone like me just arriving in Arequipa. Recovered a lot of ground in a relatively short period of time. The Guide was very informative and provided interesting information, giving me the background I needed. Very good tour.

Do this first!
This was a fantastic tour! Do this your first day and get the lay of the land and the history. You'll learn so much and find so many interesting things to do and places to see. I apologize I do not remember our tour guide's name.

Great tour
We really enjoyed this tour. Johan was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, and took us to some places we wouldn't have found on our own. We learned a lot about Arequipa in a short time. Highly recommend.

Lovely easy walk around the centre
This was a really nice way to get to know this amazing city. I enjoyed our guide who took us around the centre to visit various houses and other places. He was knowledgable and presented well.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City tour Arequipa by foot: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does City tour Arequipa by foot cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arequipa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City tour Arequipa by foot take?
+
Plan for about 2.6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arequipa is not rushed.
Is City tour Arequipa by foot worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 90 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City tour Arequipa by foot?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City tour Arequipa by foot suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City tour Arequipa by foot?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arequipa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arequipa and add a light layer if any part of the 2.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City tour Arequipa by foot start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arequipa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arequipa?
+
On Outty we rank every Arequipa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack., 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon, Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arequipa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arequipa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in City tour Arequipa by foot?
+
Included: Snacks. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is City tour Arequipa by foot offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for City tour Arequipa by foot?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is City tour Arequipa by foot wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
