I had an amazing tour with Andrea - nobody else had booked so it ended up being a private guided tour! She was really knowledgeable and answered all my questions. There was a good mix of experiences, interactivity and explanation. I would highly recommend.

Andy was a terrific guide, we learned a great deal, and his English is excellent. We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel, very convenient. The car was spacious and clean. Andy got us to try a Peruvian churro, which is slightly different than a Spanish churro. We were afraid of street food, but since he knew the establishment we tried, no ill effects.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Great half-day experience

The tour was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Andrea, really knew her stuff. She imparted a whole new level of understanding to what we were seeing as we drove and walked through Lima.
