Arequipa by Foot - Free Walking Tour

Duration: 2h and 30min
Languages: English, Spanish
Registered on November 15, 2019

Hello! My name is Beatriz and I am a tourist guide in my city Arequipa - Peru :) I have worked in Free Tours for 5 years in my city and that is where I discovered how exciting it is to show my city to others. As part of my professional development I have also worked in travel agencies but I consider that in the Free Tour I have learned a lot from what I know. For years working on the Free Tour I learned to interact with tourists, speak better and have leadership in groups, in addition to the cultural exchange that occurs during the guided, for that reason I feel especially grateful to have found this excellent way of working. Just as I felt that this type of service gave me the opportunity to grow not only as a professional but as a person I decided to help newly graduated guides to work in tourism through the free tour that's why I have created this work team FREE TOUR AREQUIPA BY FOOT where you will find local guides newly graduated willing to show you the best of our city. In the same way I have a husband and a baby which motivates me to continue working in tourism because I want to travel to other countries with them.

No apareció ni tampoco avisó. Si trabajas en esto al menos avisa que no vas a poder realizar el tour para organizarte de otra manera.

Beatriz no ha enseñado y explicado lo más interesante de Arequipa, que se puede ver en las más de 2 horas y media que estuvimos juntos. Al final, se convirtió en un tour privado porque la mayoría de los "walkers" habían optado por un tour anterior, y eso nos permitió, sin ninguna duda saborear una mejor experiencia. Y cuando uso el verbo "saborear", sin duda me estoy acordando del rato que pasamos en el mercado de San Carmelo, probando fruta, comparando las papas peruanas con las canarias, hablando de usos y costumbres de todos los productos... Ha sido la mejor manera de conocer Arequipa. Fantástico
