Loved the tour and the guides
We had such a great time the day before, we were so happy to join Gaby and her driver on a second day of touring. I should mention the not only was Gaby amazing, her driver was also very knowedgable and added to the information and experience. We started at the local fish market, then drove to Pachacamac Archeological site. Wow, what a site. So informative. Lots of history and stories. Then drove to the hill with the lighted cross for a view of the city.
Operator response
Thank you for mentioning Jorge, your driver. Many do not understand just how important the driver is on a tour, he truly adds to the experience, and we are glad that you recognized that. We will send your regards on to both of them.

A taste of modern and ancient Lima.
Our guide Nataly and driver Jorge were an absolute delight. They were so easy to converse with and we laughed a lot. The tour was very interesting from the fishing village of Chorrillos to the ancient site of Pachacamac. They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs being in a wheelchair. This trip is to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Gaby, our guide on yesterday’s Highlights of Lima tour took a photograph of us and Nataly made a watercolour painting of us set in Pachacamac, which she presented to us as a gift. Lisa, the owner of the company, also sent us a gift of chocolates. So very thoughtful. Integrity tourism is a professional company and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone visiting Lima.

Outstanding Day!
We had a fabulous day visiting the Pachacamac ruins and Los Ficus Hacienda. We visited the ruins in the morning, and our guide was well versed in her history of the ruins and the archaeology of the area. That was followed by our visit and tour of Los Ficus Hacienda where we were able to see the Peruvian Paso horses. Our guide there was passionate about the horses as she showed us the stables and introduced us to each of the horses. After a thorough tour of the grounds, we were treated to a demonstration of the training of the horses and a show. To top off the time at the hacienda, we were treated to a delicious lunch. The whole day was amazing. If you have the time to take this tour, it is well worth your time.

Ruins and Horse Show
We started our day with a smile! Integrity was excellent to deal with and emailed us every step of the way. Our driver Jorge picked us up and we went and had a great day at the ruins and the most beautiful Hacienda. Jorge was a pleasure to be with and was excellent in explaining the area. The Los Ficus Hacienda is the perfect way to spend an afternoon! The horses are spectacular and the grounds of the house are breathtaking. Lorena was our host for the day at the Hacienda and did a fantastic job explaining the grounds, the horses and the delicious lunch. Would highly recommend this.
