This was such a great...

This was such a great experience from start to finish! Our guide Valeria was such a great host. I took this tour on my first day in Lima and was a great way to explore the barranco neighborhood filled with a taste of the local culture thru cuisine. I also appreciated learning the history behind the food to understand its influences. A must do in Lima!

Experience Peru in Two Days

It was an excellent tour. Everything was well organized. Our tour guide on the first leg of the trip Juancho was exceptional. His knowledge and personality was the best. He went above and beyond to accommodate everyone. We had another guide for Nazca Lines tour.

Amazing experience.

Where do I begin, from start to finish this trip was phenomenal. I came to Peru expecting all the good activities to be in Cusco but I was so wrong. Huacachina has to be one of the most magical places I’ve ever been. Make sure to include the sunset experience, it was more than worth the upgrade. The tour guide Marjorie and Alonzo were very nice and helpful at all points. Please note the dune buggy ride is for Adrenaline junkies. I was holding on for dear life at some points.

Great tour

Excellent walking tour. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. She was kind enough to wait for an extra 10 minutes as our party was late due to the awful traffic. The highlight for me was having her point out the balconies and architecture and the visit to the Catacombs. The added bonus was the churros, which was delicious.

Great tour!!

We enjoyed our tour to the catacombs and to the Lima city center!!! Alex was a fantastic guide!!! He was very informative as well as patient and fun!!! ¹(the very next day we went back to the catacombs with the 12 tour we had just joined ... that guide "ran" us through the catacombs with very little info. We were so happy that we had gone with Alex the day before!!!

Money well spent

I travel quite a bit and I have to say Jesus was honestly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. His energy was infectious, he kept our spirits up from 5am to midnight and had us laughing throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable and kept us well informed about our multiple stops and activities. He had a solution for basically every slight problem we could have and ensured the entire trip was seamless. He also is the best hype man and supporter when taking pictures lol. I would definitely recommend this tour company and if possible ask to have Jesus as your guide! All the other helpers we met along the tour were also very friendly and tried their best to make sure we were all having the best experience we could. I especially want to shout out our dune buggy driver for going above and beyond for our group. Thank you all so much you made this one of the best days of my trip in Peru (and I think my life)!!!

The Perfect Way to Experience Lima!

This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Lima! It was a small group of just four people - myself, another solo traveler, and a couple - which made the experience feel personal and relaxed. The itinerary was fantastic. We saw so much of Lima in one day, from the historic center and its fascinating history to the different neighborhoods, markets, and cultural highlights. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the day had a great balance of sightseeing, history, culture, and food without feeling rushed. The food was another highlight. Everything we tried was delicious, and I loved that the tour incorporated local flavors and gave us the opportunity to experience Lima through its food as well. Our driver, Eduardo, was wonderful. The van was clean and comfortable, and Eduardo was professional, friendly, and an excellent driver. Having reliable transportation throughout the day made the experience so easy and enjoyable. But the absolute star of the tour was our guide, Claudia. She was truly exceptional. Claudia was knowledgeable, warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about Lima and its history. Her storytelling brought the places we visited to life, and she had a wonderful way of making everyone feel included and comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and getting the most out of the day. Claudia and Eduardo made an already excellent itinerary into a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima - and if you’re lucky enough to have Claudia as your guide, you’re in for a treat! Five stars all around!

Long drive but TOTALLY worth it!

The tour was great! Alvaro and Felix were great guides that were also very attentive to us throughout the trip. The hotel pick up and drop off were easy. The trip to Huacachina wasn’t bad since we had a couple of stops along the way. Huacachina and activities were AMAZING! We had so much fun on the buggies and sandboarding with Jhonny. The trip back is a bit long, but worth the trip. I previously read a review that was helpful to me prior to the trip: Stop 1 - Breakfast (not incl.) Stop 2 - Paracas around 9am for boat ride around Ballestos Island (90 mins) + walking around Paracas until around 11am Stop 3 - Ica at El Huarango around 12:30pm for Piscos + wine (incl.) + lunch (not incl.; about $20 a person, 65/s) Stop 4 - Huacachina around 3pm + sand buggies + sandboarding Around 4:30pm, long ride back to Lima (about 5 hours) - one stop at gas station around 7:30pm for snacks/bathroom Drop-Off around 9:45pm-10pm Highly recommend booking this tour! We had a blast and can’t stop talking about it. I’d only recommend the company to keep the A/C on because we got a little warm for such a long trip. But once again, our guides were great!
