Hi there! Nice to meet you

I have been traveling since I was a child, I started with my native Peru, then, when I grew up, I went international, in my travels I learned about the world and about myself, I still love to travel and show what I have seen.

We had a private lesson with Richard on the beech. He is perfectly fluent in speaking English which is handy especially when you are in the sea! Really welcoming and a great instructor with a great deal of experience. 5 minutes into the lesson he had already explained better than previous lessons with past instructors we have had. We felt very safe and everything was kept under control while in the water. Cannot recommend this activity enough. A unique way to spend a bit of the day.

Richard was super fun and chill. He gave us a great tour of Barranco including really nice art galleries, a delicious bakery, and our favorite bar of the whole trip! Highly recommend hanging out with Richard to explore Barrranco with a local. Great tour

Fascinating neighborhood. A must see for any visitor. Richard is knowledgeable and fun. He showed us some out of the way places we likely would not have seen on our own. Awesome Experience

Had a great time learning how to surf from Richard. He did a great job explaining the ins and outs of surfing and making sure we had sufficient practice before getting in the water. Really enjoyed the videos and pictures he sent of the day after as well!Great experience

We felt like we were spending time with an old friend:) Richard is friendly, kind, funny and shared a lot fun information about the city. We look forward to connecting with him again when we go back to Lima. Thank you so much, Richard! You are the best 🙌Richard is the best!

Richard was the best host and tour guide I can hope for. He gave us great history in the city of Lima and we even shared a few drinks. He let us customize our tour to the things we were interested in and we always felt very safe. Don't hesitate to book Richard!Best tour I've ever had

Richard is a nice guy but not very knowledgeable about Barranco. He showed us most, if not all the sites, but we learned nothing. We could have done everything on our own and saved our money. This is our 2nd tour with "Withlocals" and neither have been good. Barranco tour disappointing
