Travel Tips for Peru City Sightseeing Tour
- Save money and get to know the locals by staying at “Hospedajes”. They are family-run hotels and considered the best budget-stay choice.
- Skip the taxis and try “colectivos” which are affordable buses. Do note that they don’t come with fixed schedules.
- Look for “meals of the day” offered by many restaurants, where you get a set meal for the day that includes multiple plates of food.
- Leverage the comprehensive walking tours organized by “Free Walking Tours Peru” during your city sightseeing tours in Peru. You may tip your guide as you deem fit.
- Withdraw enough cash in major cities as you will be hard-pressed to find an ATM in small towns and villages.
