Our tour started on time. Communication with tour guide is excellent. We did a lot of walking and visiting multiple churches was the highlight for me and my husband. Our tour guide John Lucas is a pro, he knows Lima City by heart. Definitely recommending this tour. Truly worth it - healthy, fun, educational, and more.
Manuel was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited as well as the city's history. Highly recommend for a day tour.
