About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Adjnabi0 contributionsDeeply informative - as well as strikingFor us, a visit to a site like Caral is most interesting if we leave with a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural significance of the site. This requires a top-notch guide. Ronald not only could place the site of Caral in historical context in terms of Peru but also in terms of global history (including recent discoveries that aren't discussed at the site). He could also provide global answers to questions ranging from why a lot of buildings in coastal Peru look unfinished to why the desert coast is so fertile provided there is a source of water. He clearly does ongoing research to make sure he is up-to-date.Written 6 January 2025
- Melendez580 contributionsHighly recommend!!My husband and I highly recommend the private tour to the Nazca lines and Huacachina Oasis with Chasky Xpedition. The team that provided the tour, Felipe, and our driver were exceptional. We were picked up on time and taken from our hotel to the Pisco airport, a several-hour drive in a comfortable SUV. Our driver ensured a very smooth and safe drive. During the drive, Felipe provided helpful background information on the Nazca lines. He is very knowledgeable and can communicate complex concepts in a friendly and understandable manner. When we arrived at the airport, he took us to the museum and continued explaining what we would see while we waited to receive our seat assignments on the plane. The Nazca Lines plane flight was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Upon our return, we drove to the Huacachina Oasis. The dune buggy company and driver provided exceptional service, making our dune buggy ride thrilling and memorable. We ate a delicious lunch. We also did a private tasting at the beautiful Tabernero winery, and Felipe ensured we tasted high-end sipping piscos. We had an excellent drive back to our hotel. We highly recommend the tour. It’s more expensive than others because you spend less time (hours) on the road, and the plane flight is more expensive since it’s from a closer airport to Lima. However, it was well worth it! It is a first-class tour.Written 15 October 2024

- juliesch5840 contributionsExcellent tour of the hiistoric cith of LimaWe ended up having a private tour. Our guide, Phillipe, was fantastic. His English was execellent and he is very knowledgeable. We enjoyed his stories and seeing the city of Lima thorug his proud eyes.Written 12 September 2024
- goirish20150 contributionsMaybe go with a more established tour operatorTour company cancelled because they claimed "safety reasons" of the aircraft, but we all know it was because not enough people signed up for the tour. They provided a full refund, but it was a pain in the neck to meet up with them because they wanted to give me cash back instead of refunding to credit card.Written 17 July 2024

- 786anuragr0 contributionsHighly recommend.We had a great experience with Chasky. Even before the trip started they were very prompt in answering all our questions. Filipe is a great guide, energetic, knowledgeable and helpful. He made the trip memorable. They were on time, every time. He saved us lots of time by pre ordering food even before we reached the lunch break destination. The van was clean and very comfortable. They never pushed us for time. Jose our driver was also very courteous. I would highly recommend.Written 2 July 2024

- Climber556836809820 contributionsA can’t miss! Ask for Felipe and WernerWe were lucky enough to be assigned Felipe and Werner - they were absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable, funny, and excited to share their culture and country with us. There is a lot of driving but you’re never bored and it’s very worth it to see everything included in the tour. One fun warning - the wine and Pisco tour give very generous tasting portions :) We also left a pair of sunglasses in the van and Felipe walked them over to our hotel the following day to return them. Truly above and beyond!Written 26 May 2024
- christinegX156TK0 contributionsWOWWWWW!!!This private tour was exactly what we needed because we only had one day to fit all of the sites we were hoping to get to on our last day in Lima. Felipe was a fantastic tour guide and we were very impressed with his extensive knowledge, not only of the sites we visited, but Peru as a whole. Claudio was our driver and he weighed in quite a bit as well. The private tour option was very flexible. We were able to visit the Huacachina oasis early in the day and avoid the crowds we saw coming in as we were leaving. Anyone who visits Peru must really find a way to sandboard and ride the dune buggies. So fun!!! The Nazca lines were breathtaking and such a treat. Before the flight, Felipe mentioned we should take something for motion sickness because of the sharp turns the airplane takes so that everyone on the flight gets a good view of all the lines. Great call, Felipe! Overall, we had a great time, were comfortable and in good company, which is a plus for such a long day.Written 6 May 2024
- justruit0 contributionsThey truly cared…and made it stress free!Felipe and his team took all the stress away and took amazing care of us…from transport to and from the airport and train stations to tours through Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. They made recommendations for flights, hotels and restaurants. It was so easy to enjoy!! They’re at the top of their game knowing the history, culture, architecture, agriculture, and food. More than that, Filipe truly cared for us…two of our group got altitude sickness in Cusco and he wouldn’t leave the hotel until they were safely in their rooms with oxygen. The next day he arrived with medicine and lime chews to make sure the group wouldn’t get sick again. Felipe became part of our groups family by the end. We wanted to come back in a week to do it all over again!Written 23 April 2024
- AlfredPrufrock0 contributionsPrivate Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina OasisThe trip was amazing. It was a long day for everyone. We started at 530 am and had 4 hr car ride. The Huacachina Oasis is an amazing site to see - a literal oasis in the middle of the desert. Our family loved the Sand Buggy Ride and the SandBoarding is now our daughter's favorite thing she has done in a long time. Then it was off the to the International Airport of Pisco, which curiously has no domestic or international flights. We went up and saw the Nazca lines. An amazing set of sites for sure. Then it was a long car ride back to Lima. Our guide Felipe was amazing, so kind, caring, professional. At one point, my wife has brought open toed shoes to the Oasis. He literally gave the shoes off his feet for her so she wouldn't burn her feet. Ana amzing and caring guy.Written 7 April 2024
- FarAway484451665620 contributionsFood tourThe best food ever. Felipe was so knowledgeable and had an appreciation for good peruvian foods and spices. I highly recommend him.Written 6 April 2024

Felipe was AMAZING to put it simply. He kept us engaged and entertained during transit and did an excellent job explaining the surrounding areas and what we were about to experience. He made the museum interactive and really walked us through the history and timeline of the civilization. It was a very warm day in our visit so he thought to stop for water and refreshments prior to walking the ruins and even had the van drive us to certain spots which really helped. Both Felipe and the driver were extremely personable and made the entire experience great! I really learned so much about the history and the people of this great country!

My partner and I really enjoyed our morning with Felipe touring Pachacamac. We were in Lima for a short visit and didn’t have enough time to travel to some of the classic historic sites elsewhere in the city, and were glad to find out that one of the most important indigenous archeological sites in Peru is located just outside Lima.
Felipe’s passion and knowledge of Peru’s indigenous heritage coupled with his guiding skills really brought the tour to life.
Growing up in the US we learn primarily about the Incas, and nothing about the Lima, Wari and Ichma that preceded them around Lima over the previous 1500 years. Visiting Pachacamac with Felipe gave us a much deeper look into their culture as well as an appreciation for the Incas shared history with their predecessors.
Overall, Felipe organised a great tour. The logistics were all perfect and the pacing meant we learned a great deal without being too overloaded with information. He’s got a great knack for asking for your questions / thoughts / guesses about the information, making the whole experience interactive and thought-provoking.
In addition to giving all of his knowledge related to the tour, Felipe was generous in sharing advice on how to make the most of our time in Lima.
Overall it was a 10/10 morning and we’ll certainly plan future excursions in Peru with Chica Tours.
