This was a great way to visit the city! Passed through many cities then walked the historical downtown. Knowledgeable staff, highly recommend and opportunity to buy gifts.
Nice tour, excellent our guide Nadia, very friendly and quality, the experience is recommended. The experience is very nice, the history of Lima's infrastructure fascinated us.
Excellent tour and service. The entire itinerary was completed, in a timely manner. Very good guide, attentive and knowledgeable about the subject. I will take the full days with them since they provided me with excellent service.
I recommend it 100%. Our guide, since she picked us up at the hotel, kept telling us about the curiosities of Lima, historical facts. Now I know and approve that Pisco sour is purely Peruvian. We did a pisco tasting, ate churros and visited the catacomb museum, an interesting place, I recommend not skipping this visit to Lima. Many thanks to our guide
The first thing we did upon arriving in Peru was visit the center of Lima, the experience was pleasant from the moment we left the hotel, our guide did not talk about history, traditions and she recommended where to have lunch, where to buy gifts and at the end she gave us free time and He recommended buying churros.
