    Interesting tour in Arequipa

    Nice experience to visit different places in Arequipa. Our tour guide was very good and he had a lot of patience with the group. They can improve with the order of the passengers to get the bus. There were 2 different groups to get into the bus and they occupied some seats were busy. Thank you to our guide to put some order.

    Response from the operator: Dear Robert. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your comments about your experience with the Tour booked with us. Since the comments of our customers are very important, be assured that we will continue working to improve day by day in order to provide you with the best possible service. Best regards. CAMINO PERU.

    Quite poor experience

    Without any explanation or excuse, the hotel pickup arrived 30 minutes later than planned, forcing us to join the group after the first stop of the tour. The guide was quite rude, especially when, at the end of the tour, in a different place than planned, we asked how to get back to the hotel. Quite poor experience

    Response from the operator: Estimado Sr. Antonio, la movilidad privada que los recogió de su Hotel, en vez de dejarlos en el estacionamiento para tomar el Bus Grupal (Mirabus), los llevó de forma directa a la primera parada del City & Countryside Tour, que es la Plaza de Yanahuara para que pudieran unirse al Tour Grupal que eligieron de las 9:00 am sin perder ninguna parada, fue una forma de compensar el retraso generado por las celebraciones de Arequipa que bloquearon las calles, por los alrededores del centro de la ciudad donde se encuentra su Hotel. Lamentamos, que no se les haya explicado, que los llevaron de forma directa en la movilidad privada para iniciar el Tour en el Mirabus; asimismo, este Tour finaliza (aprox. 14:00) cerca de la Plaza de Armas, ya que los turistas quieren seguir paseando por la Ciudad, una vez terminado el Tour. Valoramos mucho sus comentarios, tenga la certeza que seguiremos trabajando para mejorar día a día con el fin de brindarle la mejor atención posible. Esperamos poder servirle en otra oportunidad. Saludos Cordiales, CAMINO PERU.

    Saw all the far places I wanted to see

    The tour stops at several places, and you had the option to pay the entrance fee or stay outside or in the bus. I thought it covered all I wanted to see. They had a one hour stop in a restaurant that was not on the itinerary, but we sat by the kitchen and had fun seeing all the strange and humongous plates go by. At the molino were options for ATV and pony rides. The tour guide got no tips except for us. Come on people, these guys make very little and count on tips.

    Response from the operator: Dear Starvia. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your comments about your experience with the Tour booked with us. Since the comments of our customers are very important, be assured that we will continue working to improve day by day in order to provide you with the best possible service. Best regards.

    City tour & Countryside Tour Bus: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.

    How much does City tour & Countryside Tour Bus cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 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 & Countryside Tour Bus take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 & Countryside Tour Bus worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 & Countryside Tour Bus?

    +

    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 & Countryside Tour Bus suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book City tour & Countryside Tour Bus?

    +

    Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does City tour & Countryside Tour Bus 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 & Countryside Tour Bus?

    +

    Included: Transport; and Guide. Not included: Breakfast; Lunch; and Tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does City tour & Countryside Tour Bus include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 76 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is City tour & Countryside Tour Bus 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 & Countryside Tour Bus?

    +

    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 & Countryside Tour Bus 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.

    What happens to City tour & Countryside Tour Bus if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Arequipa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
