Great experience in family
Great experience with Jose Carlos guide! I was surprised that there was a walking tour since San Luiz square. It was great, Jose Carlos was very friendly and helpful!

The experience was impeccable.
We are a family from Argentina, Jose Carlos is a genius and the guide Angel, two legends. The information was very useful and told in a way that was easy to understand. They were very kind.

Scam
This company is not operating a "hop on hop off" bus experience. They run one bus a day which operates as a fully guided tour. If you do not buy the guided tour (which I was never even told existed) you are stuck on a structured, scheduled tour without being allowed to participate in the tour experience. I should've been suspicious when we showed up at the JFK boarding spot and had to wait an hour and a half for the bus to show up, but I'd already purchased tix on Trip Advisor, so .... We wanted to "hop off" at the Fountain Park. Instead, we got stuck in the historical district for an hour and a half. I asked the guide if she could tell me where the catacombs were. She gestured down the street and told me "You didn't pay for a guide. You are on your own". Which wasn't exactly true because I was stuck on a bus going nowhere for hours at a time. The next "stop" was to meet up with the guided tour at the base of a bridge where we sat for half an hour waiting for them to board. We were then asked if we wanted to be "dropped off" at the Fountain Park, with us finding our own way home. It was 6pm by this time and an hour out from our hotel. We declined. Finally, we were dropped off, NOT at the JFK spot. We were dropped off three (long) blocks away on the side of the highway across from tattoo parlors and sex shops. I felt sorry for the older gentleman using a cane. This was a complete waste of the only free day we had in Lima and an absolute money grabbing scam. Don't waste your time or money. I wish we had just hopped a cab. It's a safe area. It would have been easier and we would have actually gotten to see some of Lima instead of being hijacked for over seven hours on a bus going nowhere.

The bus was very proper, clean, and had outlets for charging! Everything in good condition.
The guide Jose Carlos from the red circuit was very good, I think his tour was very interesting, enjoyable, and clear. Not so the yellow circuit, it was not heard well nor was it very explanatory regarding what we were seeing. The music was very loud.
Operator response
