Very colonial

Great tour walking around old colonial Lima where we came across a religious procession for a famous saint, with bands playing, fireworks and the incense in the air. Lucky to have seen this as very interesting and enjoyed walking around the main square with the Presidential Palace and Archbishop's Palace and the beautiful Cathedral.

Excellent - Informative Tour

Jorge provided an informative tour of the San Francisco Convent and Catacombs Museum. His demeanour was great and it was affordable. We would gladly book him again for another City Walking Tour.
