Experience Peru when short on time! - This was a good introduction to Lima especially if you're short on time. I pretty much just had a day before heading to Cusco. We went to some sites around the city to take pictures. The catacombs were a highlight because we got to go under the church and go where there weren't many crowds. The best part was the alcohol tasting because it's a good way to be introduced to several drinks around Peru and I'm not even a big drinker.

Great city tour with Ricardo and David - We had a great city tour of Lima with Ricardo and David, our driver. It was our first opportunity to see the city after arriving, and Ricardo was very knowledgeable about all aspects of language, history, and culture. We really enjoyed the day, and gave us an idea of other things we’d like to do and see during our 2 weeks in Lima. Thanks guys!!

Nice way to spend the morning. - Very nice small group tour with a great guide, David. Our little group was very friendly, David provided information in both Spanish and English, and several key spots were seen, along with a nice Pisco Sour demonstration. Great, quick introduction to Lima City, and a wonderful way to start any Lima visit.
