    Fantastic tour of historic Lima and the Catacombs

    Although I had booked a small group tour, I was the only one to have booked. Kudos to the company that it still went ahead. This was my favourite thing so far in Lima. The vehicle was spotless and had a/c. My guide, Jonathan, was exceptional... very knowledgeable and friendly. Lima historic town is amazing. The architecture and history is fascinating and there is a real buzz about the place. Highly recommend.

    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
