Very interesting. The guide Yoced knows a lot and explains very well. I recommend the excursion to learn many things in a little while.
We had an outstanding experience with Lima Experience! Our group included both Peruvians and Americans, and everyone was extremely happy with the tours. From the beginning, the reservation process was easy, clear, and professional. I requested several reasonable adjustments to our itinerary, and the team was always flexible and accommodating. Everything was very well organized. Our guides were excellent, especially Georginho, who was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made our experience even more enjoyable. The drivers were also fantastic—professional, safe, and always on time, which gave me great peace of mind when traveling with a group and a busy itinerary. Transportation, food, recommendations, and overall logistics were excellent. I worked for 15 years onboard cruise ships as a Shore Excursions Manager, so I have worked with tour operators in destinations around the world and know how much coordination goes into delivering a great experience. Lima Experience genuinely exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our time in Peru so memorable. We would absolutely use Lima Experience again and highly recommend them!
We really enjoyed this in-depth tour, especially the convent and catacombs. Our guide Yoced was entertaining and very knowledgeable.
Amazing experience. The tour guide was hilarious and made the tour a true experience that we will never forget.
This tour was amazing. We learned so much from our tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and punctual. Seeing these catacombs was definitely and experience you do not want to miss. Thank you for your time and information.
Excellent tour of Lima's central square. Josed was a very welcoming guide and gave an amazing tour of the area. It's a place with a fascinating history and Franciscan church above the catacombs is awe inspiring. Would recommend if you want a not too long but informative tour of the area.
Arturo was an excellent guide! He was so knowledgeable and informative about the city and its culture and the history! I felt like I knew everything about the history of Lima and how it came to be. Every question I had was answered in full detail and every detail he knew he showed me in depth. I would most certainly do this tour again
