A lovely day in Lima! Great weather and tour covered the Miraflores, Barranco, San Isidro areas as well as downtown areas, Plaza de Armas, the cathedral and catacombs....a full day. We had lunch at Panchita and it was delicious Peruvian food. Both Susan and Jonathan were very friendly and enthusiastic about sharing the history and culture of their country and city. Thank you guys for a wonderful day in Lima.

Sandy was very engaging, approachable, and knowledgable. I had very limited time in Lima and this was a good way of seeing a lot of highlights without feeling rushed or deprived.

Ok tour, but rather uninspiring, slow paced. Was expecting more, more interesting sites, highlights, entertaining experiences. Perhaps our expectations were too high after Cusco and Lake Titicaca. Perhaps an extra day in Titicaca and a less day in Lima.

This was a great full day tour of Lima. I felt like I got to see the very best of the city. We had a very small group of 3 ladies and our guide Willan was very good. He gave us just the right amount of information about each area. The catacombs were so unique. He suggested a wonderful restaurant for lunch and the Lomo Saltado was excellent. During the afternoon we were taken around by mini bus to several locations. Really enjoyed the seaside views of Miraflores and the art district of Barranco. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see the best of Lima in an organized and safe way.

This is a great way to see everything Lima has to offer- which in my opinion is not a lot but it is all spread out. Willian was a great guide! Super friendly and helpful. The tour ended up just being the two of us. We took a car to downtown and then met the guide. We walked around downtown until 11, then got lunch. Afterwards we took a car to Barranco and Miraflores with multiple stops to popular tourist areas. The catacombs were okay- no pictures allowed.

Nice tour of Lima with good guides. It is not great to have two guides in the same day!!!! It breaks the rhythm and the contact with the guides. Competent guides.
