Alex our guide was great. Learned a lot. Catacombs was interesting and tour was good. Magic show and the park were something different and was enjoyable

Klaudia was a wonderful guide. We saw many sights and received lots of information. She was very knowledgeable and shared information about the places and country.

Claudia was an excellent tour guide. I ended up having a private tour. She was very knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend this tour to friends.

It was a great tour. I learned a lot and had so much fun. The extra bonus was starting activities during the day and being able to see how the city transforms at night.

I absolutely loved this tour led by Klaudia. Since it was just the two of us, I had the chance to ask as many questions as I wanted, which made the experience even better. I loved soaking in Peru’s rich and beautiful history firsthand. We even got a surprise bonus with an incredible street performance by the fountains featuring dancers from several different countries. I was able to experience not only traditional Peruvian dances, but Chilean ones too! And shoutout to our driver, who navigated Lima’s busy streets like a total pro. Highly recommend this tour!

Compact, full-day tour hitting many key spots in Lima. The guide was pretty well versed in describing the sites, and I think we got a very good feeling of the city's general vibe.
If pressed for time, you can probably skip the magic fountain show at the end. It's neat, but you can watch a more immersive version on YouTube - rather than jostling for space among many others.

This was a wonderful tour led by our guide Jean Paul. He was friendly, informative and funny! He and his driver led us through crazy Lima traffic seamlessly. 10/10

Catacombs were our favorite part of the tour. We enjoyed walking around the main square and learning about different architectural influences. Magic water show was a bonus
Brian_C, Feb 2024
It was a great experience we leant a lot on the Perú history , Jean Paul was very informative, the water show capped off a very enjoyable tour

Got a pickup from my hotel from the guide and driver, right on time. Although it's easy enough to get around Lima with taxi or rideshare, it was very nice to have a hotel pickup.
I had booked as part of a group but I was the only one on the tour, so I got to have a say on where to go first and what to spend time on. My guide MP was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, he answered all my questions. I do think that the water park/show doesn't strictly require a guide and might be better explored individually, but that might be personal preference. Overall, a thorough experience and well worth it.

Very informative and enjoyable tour. Guide was knowledgeable and went above and beyond, providing a great service.

Marco was an excellent bilingual guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Peru and all of the sites we visited on the tour. All of the stops exceeded my expectations, especially the Magic Circuit Water Show, which ended up being really unique and beautiful. Thanks so much Marco!!

As luck would have it, I was the only booking for the tour so it was a completely private event! Sofia arrived early for pickup and was just a wealth of knowledge about Lima and Peru. She formerly worked at the Basílica y Convento de San Francisco so she knew pretty much everyone and everything. Afterward we went to Plaza de Armas, had an tasty dinner at Norky’s, enjoyed my first chicha morada! Walked a little further to Plaza San Martin where the tour ended and the driver took me back to San Isidro. Thanks for the memories Sofia, had a great time and I wish you all the best, Rob G/Seattle WA

This was an excellent tour and I highly recommend it! My tour guide was Manuel and he was the best! He picked me up at my hotel and a car took us downtown. During my tour Manuel showed me several different neighborhoods and taught me so much during the tour. Manuel is very knowledgable about the history and culture of Lima and Peru. There was a last minute change in operating hours for the catacombs and the company reached out to me and gave me options. Great communication, excellent value, and the best tour guide! My favorite was the Magic water show (option since catacombs closed early)

We had a great time with Lucas as our guide. We had another tour cancel on us last minute and were happy this tour was still available. The company communicated with us immediately to let us know of changes due to closing times at the catacombs and they gave us the option. Their flexibility to meet our needs really shows their professionalism. I pointed out the chocolate museum and Lucas adjusted the tour so we could go in. We had the best cream filled churros. When we told him we were interested in getting dinner, along the tour he would point out great places to eat at. I would highly recommend this tour.
