Cemetery tour

lightontario, Nov 2024

The cemetery tour was the best part of tour. It was nice to spend all my time there as I had already been to the catacombs. My guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the cemetery, the layout, and stories of people there. This cemetery is huge with streets. Now it is a museum. Definitely recommend tour if you have a few hours in Lima.

Very interesting

Very interesting and informative. If you are interested in something a little different take this tour. Renzo was the best tour guide. He took his time explaining everything. I listened to a couple of other tour guides and they left out all the best parts. Juan was also a great driver and very efficient getting us around the city.

Renzo was a great guide....

Renzo was a great guide. He explained things very well, and clued us in on some secrets about the monastery above the catacombs that was really interesting.
