I Heart Lima
It was a great tour. I learned a lot and had so much fun. The extra bonus was starting activities during the day and being able to see how the city transforms at night.

An unforgettable Lima experience
I absolutely loved this tour led by Klaudia. Since it was just the two of us, I had the chance to ask as many questions as I wanted, which made the experience even better. I loved soaking in Peru’s rich and beautiful history firsthand. We even got a surprise bonus with an incredible street performance by the fountains featuring dancers from several different countries. I was able to experience not only traditional Peruvian dances, but Chilean ones too! And shoutout to our driver, who navigated Lima’s busy streets like a total pro. Highly recommend this tour!
