We got lucky and end up as a private tour so I'm sure was highly personalized. The transport was fantastic and the guide was highly knowledgeable, it was an easy walk. The history of Lima is fascinating. We had a terrific time, 5 stars.

Terrific tour with Martin

Teresa_J, Dec 2024

Wonderful experience! Martin was a great guide with so much knowledge of the history of Lima and Peru. Absolutely loved the tour of the San Francisco church and catacombs. Such a beautiful church but could only capture memories, as photos are not allowed. Jimmy our driver also did a great job navigating the horrific traffic in Lima. Kudos to Martin & jimmy for providing a great afternoon. Martin also spoke very good English which helped us seniors with understanding everything! Thank you Martin & jimmy

Fun, educational
