Tour was interesting. I learned new things amd visited new places. The tour wouldn't be sucessful without our tour guide, Juan, and pur driver as well who drove us safely to each destination. My group consist of two people only and that was including me. Very small group which I prefer. Highly recommended as the tour guide was local and knows a lot of facts about Lima city.
