Book now! - This tour was perfect for my one day in Lima before I headed to Cusco. Ricardo was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, and I learned a great deal about the connections between Peru and my parent's home country that I never knew about. Pick up and drop off from my hotel was very convenient, and the pisco sour tasting was entertaining with fun toasts/cheers. Would def recommend for those short on time!

City tour in Lima - the tour was very pleasant and the guide Diana was very friendly and helpful, as was the driver Victorino. I recommend! The only negative point was that they sold it as a guide in Portuguese and it wasn't.
