Alex is a very knowledgeable guide. The Catacombs are amazing. I liked the tour and would recommend it.
Bev_K, Aug 2026
Genuinely friendly guide who went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and organised around the individual passengers needs. He was informative, generous, cheerful and encouraging. The tours themselves were excellent, I would definitely recommend them
Joanne_P, Aug 2026
Had a great tour with Alexander very friendly and informative. He was very aware that a few on the tour had some mobility issues and catered for them and didn’t rush. Catacombs were interesting. Water park was extremely crowded as it was a Saturday evening. Alex made sure we had a good position, overall a great experience.

Absolutely fantastic. My flight was delayed the day before so the organizers took it upon themselves to reschedule me to the next day without me having to lift a finger—and they knew I had to get to the airport right afterward and they even arranged a car for me and let me bring my luggage with me. Our tour guide was marvelous—knowledgeable, kind, and patient, and our driver was safe and excellent too. Bravo! Thank you for a great experience!

The guide (Claudia we know for the whatsapp) never introduce her self she was more focused and her phone and she did mention that she was tired from a tour earlier where she had sunburn. We pick up other 2 people (we don’t mind) but we just started driving and she never said where we are going until we asked. Otherwise the driver was really nice and he was the one giving us pretty much most of the information and facts from the city. During the tour the guide was in a rush, (my wife is pregnant ) she didn’t take the take to wait for us and we weren’t slow at all. The other 2 people didn’t want to do the Catatumbas or the church (part of the tour) so she was rushing the all time. At the water show she started walking out and the lights were still on, saying that the show ended. At the moment for take us to the hotel she left the other 2 people in the mall and we mention that if they can drop us off in a different place near or hotel and she keep pushing that stay here stay here it feels like she wanted to leave. The driver was nice and he was telling us a place that he can take us to eat but she didn’t agree to it so we stayed in the mall. We don’t feel this recommend or worth it for the time and money. And also the rude attitude from the guide of the tour. Her name is Claudia.

Dear Eduardo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
First of all, we sincerely apologize for the service you received from your guide. What you described regarding the lack of introduction, communication, feeling rushed, and the attitude you experienced is not the standard of hospitality we strive to provide. We especially regret that your wife, being pregnant, did not feel properly accommodated during the tour.
We appreciate your kind words about our driver, and we are glad that he was able to make a positive impression.
Please rest assured that we take comments like yours very seriously. We will be speaking directly with Claudia to review the situation and reinforce the level of professionalism, communication, and customer care that all of our guides are expected to provide.
Our goal is always for our guests to enjoy Lima at a comfortable pace while feeling welcomed and well informed. We are genuinely sorry that we fell short during your visit.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve our service, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the experience we are known for.
We wish you and your growing family all the best, and a safe and pleasant remainder of your trip to Peru.

Best guide I have had. Alexander (Alex) had the best stories and kept us engaged throughout. I really enjoyed this tour
Nalini_R, Jul 2026
Alex was a superb guide. We loved the catacombs and all the information he gave us. And he recommended the best churro we’ve had yet. The water light show was less grand than I thought, but it was still a sweet little park. I probably would have liked more history lessons.
Roberta_P, Jun 2026
The tour was informative and fun. The night time light show was not running, but the park was still beautiful.
Al_B, Jun 2026
Alexander was a very knowledgeable tour guide and our driver was very professional and got us to our destinations safely. Very informative tours at all the places we toured. Highly recommend.
Gail_B, Jun 2026
Great tour with Juan, who was absolutely brilliant - so knowledgeable, funny and clearly very proud of his heritage. Juan was so accommodating and changed the itinerary, as we'd already seen the catacombs in the morning. The visit to Santa Domingo church was very special, and we really enjoyed the water show at the Reserve Park. Top tour - highly recommended.
Nanette_R, Jun 2026
This was my favorite excursion of our trip. Juan showed a side of Lima that we otherwise would have missed. The city lights up at night. The catacombs were unavailable to tourists until modern times so people did not know their existence. The light show and the park itself were magnificent.
Lorraine_S, May 2026
Really enjoyable trip. Be careful visiting the catacombs. The floor is very uneven and lighting not great. My guide use his phone as, a, torch to give more light.
Paola_M, May 2026
Alexander was amazing, so knowledgeable… it made the tour unforgettable. Our driver was also great. He got us to and from all destinations safe and sound. Thank you!

Great hotel pickup , knowledgeable guide who managed a group needing two languages , was patient and attentive. Just the right duration.
Alex_H, Apr 2026
We enjoyed this tour, and Alex was super knowledgeable about Peru and its history. Highly recommend.
Debbie_S, Apr 2026
It was fantastic! Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We had a great walk around the city centre, a tour of the convent and catacombs and lastly to a beautiful water show. Our bus driver was very experienced and did a great job driving on the very congested roads.
LIL_E, Mar 2026
My tour guide, Juan was great in educating on all aspects of the Catacombs snd the Francisco monks. You almost felt you were living through those times and brought me closer to the culture. Juan is also very easy going and patiently answered everyone's questions.
The water show was spectacular and explained everything in a story fashion.
I highly recommend this tour for everyone.
Breeane_W, Mar 2026
Tour was better than expected. The guide, Alex, knew a lot and made the experience very memorable. The tour of the catacombs and the historic center in the evening was fascinating. The water show was worth it and everything he taught us made the show so much more meaningful. I picked this not really knowing what to expect but it was a good way to spend the evening, especially if you want to see a lot in a short time.
Jill_H, Mar 2026
Alexander gave an excellent tour. Provided information on history, as well as, current life in Lima.
ANTHONY_D, Mar 2026
Everything was as advertised. Juan was excellent at explaining everything to us and very accommodating. The San Francisco church was beautiful and the catacombs were fascinating. The Central Historical District was incredible and full of amazing buildings. The light/fountain show was entertaining. We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend!
Lynn_H, Mar 2026
Had a fabulous tour with our driver (sorry, I don't remember his name, but he used to drive buses around Lima....crazy, loco!) and our guide, Alexander! From pickup at our hotel to drop off Alexander considered everyone's needs. The tour of the Church and catacombs was so interesting; beautiful, and also heartwrenching to think of all the souls who have gone before us. Walking the old town was nice and so much more history shared. Loved the fountain show and the whole park surrounding. What a joyful place!
Rhona_N, Mar 2026
Juan was a fabulous guide who made the tour of the catacombs and the fountains a great experience. .
Brandie_W, Feb 2026
Klaudia was amazing. She didn't talk too much but answered all our questions. Enjoyed being part of the locals and enjoying the Sunday with them.
Agustin_L, Jan 2026
Could be a little chilly. Bring a thin windbreaker. Great for children and adults. A wholesome family experience.
Craig_K, Dec 2025
Our tour guide, Klaudia was very friendly and gave a lot of history of Lima! The Catacombs were very neat, it was a gorgeous site to visit. Because it was New Years Eve, the tour had to get adjusted alittle. Even with the adjustment, it was very good. Again - Klaudia was so fun to hang out with!
Heena_A, Dec 2025
Tour covered the areas mentioned but felt rushed, recommend exploring on your own, especially the fountain park where you can spend a lot more time.
Amy_B, Dec 2025
Alex was informative and fun! He made the experience come to life. Very knowledgeable!!! We enjoyed the catacombs very much and learning about the history.
Sara_M, Dec 2025
Walking down streets of Lima Down town is like coming back to the colonial era , churches every block , the government palace , colonial balconies are admirable, visiting the catacombs make us wonder about cheating people , history tells their story and every person get the conclusion . Water Park is very well taken care of , my grandkids enjoyed.

I was really looking forward to this just for the water show, little did I know I would be blown away by the San Francisco church & tunnel walk. Our tour guide was great with knowledge, my only complaint it became a bit rushed to make the water show
Christine_C, Dec 2025
Such a great guide! Knew so much about everything and made your fun. Highly recommend this tour and especially Enrique as a guide!
