Barranco Unmasked

We had a fantastic experience with Bruce in Barranco. He is a really interesting and engaging person who brings something different to a walking tour. Rather than simply showing you the sights, he shares genuine insights into Peruvian culture, politics and the systems that affect local communities, giving you a much deeper understanding of the place and the people who live there. We really enjoyed the conversations and the opportunity to ask questions and explore things that interested us. Bruce also took the time to give us personalised recommendations for restaurants and other tours, which was incredibly helpful during our stay in Lima. We would highly recommend Bruce to anyone looking for an authentic, personalised experience and a guide who will give you much more than the usual tourist information. We came away feeling that we had learned a lot and had genuinely enjoyed meeting him too.

Bruce provided an honest take on the area, sang us a song and recited a poem from heart. Just what we were looking for. Thanks!

This was my very first tour in Lima and Peru. Bruce delivered a scintillating history lesson where I felt I got to know about the local culture. His storytelling style is candid and personal with no filter on the good and bad of politics and society. Although I was solo on the tour, he did not cancel. I ended up doing two more tours with Bruce.

Bruce was absolutely spectacular. We were two families and he made sure everyone was involved and was incredibly patient. Bruce's love for what he does is infectious and he goes to great lengths to provide an unforgettable experience alongside information you would not easily find on your own or elsewhere. There was eating, singing, history, scandal, art, poetry, controversy and friendship. Bruce is an absolute legend and we all had a blast. Take this your! and ask him about his other incredible offerings too.

My tour guide Bruce was super friendly and gave lots of local information about Barranco. This tour definitely is not a standard tour, but that’s what makes it so special and worth it. I learned so many things about everyday life and struggles as well as gentrification. Also, Bruce didn’t cancel the tour despite me being the only attendee. Also, he was on time and communication with him was super easy. Bruce is super professional and I appreciate having taken this tour so much.

Bruce is a lovely guide who went out of his way to tailor our tour to some very last minute changes.

One of the best walking tour I have ever had: in Barranco Bruce showed a passionate knowledge of the barrio and has been able to deeply connect the street art with the politics, social and cultural aspects of Peru and Lima. He has a great energy and the ability to fast feel you as a long date friend more than a one time guide. Moreover he can give you great suggestions on restaurants and nightlife! RECOMMENDED as first choice for your tours in Lima.

The Barranco tour with Bruno is a great tour to get some of the history of Barranco together with the information about the murals. His personal inputs make the tour extra fun.

Bruce was an excellent guide with a strong passion for Barranco. I will use this tour company the next time I visit Lima!

We absolutely loved our free walking tour with Bruce in Lima! He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, but also genuinely passionate about sharing it with others. His enthusiasm and storytelling made the tour both informative and fun from start to finish. Bruce answered all our questions with detail and gave us great recommendations for food, local spots, and things to do after the tour. You can tell he really cares about his work and making sure everyone has a great experience. Highly recommend joining his tour if you want to learn more about Lima and Barranco in a relaxed and engaging way!

We had an incredible tour through Barranco with Bruce! He gave us fascinating insights into the history and hidden stories of the neighborhood, things we would have completely missed on our own. His passion and knowledge brought the area to life in a unique way, and even included a surprise musical performance that made the experience truly unforgettable. Rarely have we met such a dedicated and engaging guide. Highly recommended!

Great tour of the art and area of barranco! Gianella was great and friendly. Timing was wonderful to see sunset. I actually did a few tours from Inca Pride and had a blast on them all. Street food tour was great and the nightlife one was one of the most unique experiences of my life!

Bruce was a great tour guide. He took us to some local eateries and recommendations, and also told us the stories behind some of his favorite murals around the neighborhood. He has the inside knowledge and curated a nice personal experience. Very witty. Thanks!

Was really fun and original. Like to learn the story of the street art and of the life in Barranco. I was the only person who booked and Amaru follow through while other agency have canceled. Thank you again

This tour was great! Bruce is an expert on Lima and Barranco. He showed us the best parts of Barranco and gave us recommendations on what to do and where to eat in the area. His knowledge of the history and meaning of the murals is impressive. Highly recommended.

We loved our Barranco Street tour with Hulk ( Bruce)! Hulk was super friendly, knowledgeable and great fun! Hulk’s English is excellent, and he knew the story about the area and street art really well, so we got to really understand the stories behind the street art and buildings around Barranco. How was also generous in giving us tips of good places to eat and other places to see around Lima. We ended up doing a second tour with him because he was so knowledgeable and so much fun! 😊

Very interesting tour with politically sensitive details. I gladly recommend it!

Our tour of Barranco was not only educational, but also entertaining and engaging. Bruce knows how to captivate his audience and gives plenty of room for your own interpretation. The murals in Barranco are special. Highly recommended!
