Rating of City Tour in Lima Very bad experience. The van was small, with narrow windows, almost impossible to see what the guide showed during the journey. The walk was uncomfortable and without any use. The only exception were the catacombs. I ended up leaving before the end and decided to see the city on my own, which was much more profitable. I do not recommend this city tour. Now I continue to travel to Cusco and Machu Picchu, hoping to have much better experiences there.
We took the private City Tour with the guide Ofélia and the driver Daniel! Very attentive and Ofélia, in addition to all her knowledge, is very friendly and a good photographer! The old part of the city is really worth it! I congratulate Fiesta Tours, a company that we also did Cusco, Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley!
Gracias por el mensaje. Felices de que hayan disfrutado del servicio!!
The guide that was with us, I remind Gloria, was excellent in her job and very kind. But I think that this tour maybe suitable for people with more interest in historic places than get to know the most relevant of the city. not recommended for kids.
