100% recommendable, you cover great part of Lima!!! - Pachacamac is a great arqueological site that not many people know about it and if you like the history, its 100% recomendable, then we stop in a place for a lunch (its not included) after that we went to city tour around Lima and was a great afternoon knowing the Monastery of Saint Francisco de Asis, Catacombs and highlight areas in Downtown, we enjoyed the experience.

Amazing! - Jordan is an amazing tour guide. I was super lucky to be the only one on this tour. He takes time to explain everything to me. I learnt so much from Jordan about Lima overall. I would highly recommend that you book this tour or any other tour with Jordan. As a matter of fact, I also booked another tour with him…you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again Jordan for great tours!
