Very good tour of Lima, and a nice way to see the center of the city. The church and catacombs were a highlight.

The tour was great. Covered a lot under 4 hours. Tour guide Lucero is very polite, knowledgeable and friendly.

This was a lovely relaxed tour which revealed many sides to this interesting and varied city. The communication before the tour was very good. The itinerary was really good too and we were very well looked after by tour guide Nicholas and driver Carlos. Thank you Lemon Lime tours.

The driver and guide were excellent. We felt very safe with Hernan behind the wheel! Traffic was pretty busy and he managed it like a professional. Nicholas was thorough with his presentations at the various sites. He answered random questions from our group effortlessly and clearly. Once completed they dropped us off at a restaurant we wanted and added additional information for things we needed to do after dinner.

Had a wonderful experience with this tour! Our tour guide Pedro was the sweetest, and he was very patient with all of our group as we were looking around the beautiful sites and doing some shopping as well. He explained everything in detail, and was funny too. Very very nice human being, and very welcoming to a diverse group of tourists including Latinos, Americans and myself (Armenian). He also had a lovely sense of humor, so it made our tour that much more fun! Highly recommend - you will be well versed with all of beautiful Lima, and fun along the way :)

A great way to get acquainted with Lima! We enjoyed this tour visiting a few sites and walking around Lima with our guide. It was a great afternoon and a nice way to get acquainted with Lima on our first day!

This was a fantastic tour and I would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Lima!

I had the most amazing time with LemonLime Tours! My guide Nicolas was excellent; he was knowledgable of the many different locations we visited, spoke perfect english, passionate to share the interesting history of his city, and provided even went out of his way to provide drinks and food for the walks and hot day. It felt more like spending the afternoon with a friend than following around a guide, and made my time in Lima very memorable! All the best Nicolas :)

Ha sido una buena experiencia para conocer la cultura gastronómica. Eso si, cuando dicen que el tour dura 5 horas no es del todo cierto. El tour se adapta a tus necesidades.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Cordiales saludos Iñaki, gracias por tomarse el tiempo y dejarnos un comentario positivo, solo recalcar que esta experiencia de City Tour no tiene una duración de 5 horas, en la descripción está detallado que dura 3 horas y media, desde el recojo de su respectivo hotel, en ocasiones toma 4 horas por temas de congestión vehicular. Muchas gracias y calurosos saludos amigos, Iñaki y Felix.
