Fantastic/informative half day tour - Our tour guide Janet was amazing and explained the history of Lima and took us to all the highlights of Lima. Our driver was great and helped us see much more of Lima than we could have seen on our own in that amount of time. This was a great way to experience Lima with a local guide.

Revealing knowledge of a sad colonizing past - Excellent guide and a very interesting story that reveals a sad and deep past of brutal conquering subjugation, about a very rich culture.

Tour of the historic city of Lima - Gabriel was the best-educated guide I've ever had the opportunity to visit with. He knows the history of his people in detail. Furthermore, he always led the tour with great friendliness, promptness and patience with the group! Highly recommended!

Great afternoon with guide Ursula! - We moved this tour. As it turned out we were the only couple on the tour so we had the guide to ourselves. Ursula was great. Extremely knowledgable and her English is very good. The driver was great too, weaving his way through very busy and aggressive traffic.
