Great tour - We got a city tour with Roxanna and Diego. It was only me and two of my friends and Roxanna was more than willing to answer all of our questions especially when it came to the monastery.

One of the best experiences - My trip to Peru was excellent and not just because of the experience and its people. Especially for Manuel's treatment of us on this tour. A gentleman, good photographer and very knowledgeable. He taught us, talked to us and guided us throughout Lima. He told us about his culture and his people. We really recommend it 100%. Very, very grateful. Jose Bonilla and Candido Pagan from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Nice for first visitors to Lima - The guide (M.P.) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The van was big enough and comfortable for a mid-size group of us. It was good that we didn't need to walk too much to see many attractions. If you haven't researched that much about Lima but want to learn about the city in a short time, I think this program is good for you.
