Top Lima Private Sightseeing Tours - page 10

This tour covered all we wanted to see in Lima, from parks to museums to beaches to scenic viewpoints. Our guide Nathaly and driver Jorge were friendly, well-informed, and provided us with lots of useful information about everything related to the tour and more. Lunch at the Larco Museum was quite nice; the restaurant is worth visiting by itself. While the tour was long, it was well-paced. There was quite a bit of walking, so be aware of that, but the walking was mostly in the early part of the tour. Highly recommended.

The trip was a fantastic opportunity to explore outside of Lima, and it was not disappointing. We did everything mentioned in the description. The bus was very comfortable/clean with an onboard bathroom. Our guide GIA was wonderful and kept us informed every step of the way and very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat ride was very nice, and the Chandelier Geoglyph was interesting to see from the water. I was a little underwhelmed for this being the “Galapagos” of Peru. We saw a few sea lions and birds but not much else. I can’t hold the company accountable for this though as that is the chance you take with wildlife viewing. The Pisco tour and tasting was very nice! We had a delicious lunch and enjoyed the show with a tour of the distillery and a visit to the tasking room and gift shop afterwards. Finally, we got to the oasis, it was beautiful and we really enjoyed our visit there before heading out to go dune bashing which was a pretty cool and exhilarating ride. Next, we did the sandboarding and finished with the sunset over the massive sand dunes after a quick snack and beverage service. Like many reviews I read that mentioned this before booking, this is a VERY LONG day trip. The 18hr length is if the whole day goes without issue. Our issue was traffic and road closures that we had come across because of a local parade. This part was unexpected, but we were allowed to leave the bus and watch the parade so that was very cool. However, all of this extended our day trip to close to 22 hours. We got picked up at 4:30AM and didn’t get back to our hotel until 2:00AM the next day. Just something to consider as much as we enjoyed the day trip overall, we were exhausted!!

Jonathan of Integrity Tours, picked us up at Plaza Civico with our luggage. He took us around the various neighbourhoods, archaeological sites and shared his great wealth of knowledge. We saw Lima from a beautiful vantage point, and St. Francis Basilica among many other spots of interest. Would highly recommend!
