Great experience- Catacombs and Water Fountain Show is NOT to be missed.

Amadeo was great-very knowledgeable. He made the drive to our starting point interesting and fun with lots of facts about Lima and Peru. He knew his way around the city and could navigate the closing of streets due to protests and never made us feel unsafe. Touring the church and catacombs was great, the explanation of how and why the catacombs exist was fascinating. The Water Fountain show is NOT to be missed. Amadeo took us in a back entrance and explained the meaning behind the design of the different fountains plus the story behind the show we were to see giving the images context. Plus a shout out to our driver Ferdinand who navigated the crazy traffic and road closings like a pro - so glad someone like him was driving and not one of our group.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your amazing review! 💚 We're delighted to hear you had such a memorable experience with Amadeo and Ferdinand! 😊 Amadeo will be so happy to know that you enjoyed his knowledge, storytelling, and the way he made the journey both fun and informative. We're also glad he was able to navigate the unexpected road closures smoothly and help you feel comfortable throughout the tour. A big thank you as well for recognizing Ferdinand's excellent driving, he'll truly appreciate your kind words! 🚐👏 It means a lot to know you enjoyed the Catacombs and the Magic Water Circuit, and that they became highlights of your visit. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Peru soon! ✨💚

Great company to tour Lima

We had a great private tour of the city Lima with Apullay tours. Mabel was reachable any time of the day to answer our questions prior to arriving in Peru. I changed our plan several times ands she gladly accepted our requests. She gave very good suggestions to make our day tour a very efficient and very enjoyable one. Her guide for the tour was Sophia, she did a great job taking time to explain and answering all our questions. We highly recommend Apullay tours.

Operator response

Your feedback is extremely valuable for us! We are committed in bringing the highest quality service and being flexible to accomplish all our customers needs. We want to give you the best experience! We hope to have you back soon. Best regards :)
