This was a perfect tour for those of us arriving in Lima for the first time. Our guide provided us with the background information to help us understand the why and where of these important Lima districts. A morning well spent.
Lucas is a great and knowledgeable tour guide . My family enjoyed the tour. Learned a lot about Lima
Very professional tour guide and driver. Enjoyable and the pace was appropriate. Answered all our questions.
Apart from the specific professional , as far as we are concerned, we did this tour with Manuel as guide, who knew how to incorporate a distinctive touch making it very enjoyable and instructive.
Our guide Pamela was excellent. Extremely pleasant and very informative. The tour was easy paced. We visited Miraflores, San Isidro and Barranco . Each of these neighborhoods are very interesting and different. Highly recommend this tour.
Great overview of the 3 vibrant neighborhoods, loved it! Small group and very attentive guide, Johnathan.
This tour was quite intimate and lovely. It gave me a fresh perspective on Lima which I thought prior to the tour was just another big city. Loved the temple and the artist area.
Great way to see the area in a short amount of time. I particularly enjoyed all the art. Pamela our guide was engaging, informative and fun. Totally recommend.
We were so fortunate to have Susan as our guide. She was so knowledgeable and because of her interest in birdwatching she made the tour that much more interesting for my wife. We would highly recommend this tour.
