Fantastic day spent with Dilser!!!

Dilser has excellent English skills and completely helped us understand everything that we had questions about.

Visited Temple of the Moon, lunch in Trujillo, followed by Chan Chan. Not once during the day did we feel rushed or like we were asking too many questions.

I can’t emphasize the quality of this tour - his patience with our questions, knowledge of the historical and archeological processes involved, as well as his local expertise far surpass many other tours we have been on. At times, we felt like we were with a celebrity - he is well known and locals always smile when he comes around.

Highly recommend Dilser and Norte Expedition Tours if you are in the Trujillo and Huanchaco region.

Just had a tour with Dilsar Alfaro Oliva. We visited Chan Chan and the Temple of the Moon. It was a brilliant day. Dilser made the places come alive. His knowledge was extensive and he was incredibly interesting. We would highly recommend having him as a guide.

We had a great time visiting El Brujo and the Museo Cao with Dilser. He's very knowledgeable, with a lot of info for us and very nice to speak slower because my Spanish is so limited. I actually learnt a lot about Peru and I would encourage more travellers to see the north!
