    We were in a 14 passenger...

    We were in a 14 passenger van without a speaker system which made it extremely stop hear our guide. Between his accent and soft voice we missed probably half of his comments

    Patrick was a very enthusiastic guide who went over and above to make sure we had a very enjoyable day.

    Tour of Lima

    Don't take the tour if there is a protest in Lima as the city gets gridlocked and you spend lots of time in the. mnii bus.to

    Lima is NOT appealing

    1st off, he changed the pickup location. He wasn't holding a sign with a company name, just a blank orange flag, which we were both stressed out before the tour even started! He said he would be in front of the church, but was closer to the main road. If he held a sign with Inca Trilogy Tours we would have seen him as we exited the bus! We spent way too much time traveling from one place to the other, waited too long to see the attractions we went to see, way too much & fast unexpected walking, way to fast of a pace, too much narration at each location. He did comment that some of us were slow.. one lady had had a stroke, I pulled a muscle in my leg on the bus, of course we were slow!! Hard to hear and understand Patrick. An English speaking tour NEEDS a guide that speaks better English. Patrick was Informative & is nice guy but he needs to shorten his rhetoric by half. No one ever had an opportunity to shop for souvenirs OR food & drink. That long of a tour needs to include at least a local snack or time enough to grab something to eat. I am hypoglycemia, by the time we got to the cathedral I thought I was going to pass out, so I grabbed a piece of Peruvian custard cake outside the cathedral. No food allowed so I never got to go inside for the tour. This was a MAJOR disappointment, as churches, cathedrals & ancient graveyards/burial grounds are my absolute FAVORITE thing to see. I had to request water, but it wasn't cold, but almost room temperature, it needs to be chilled on such a hot, active day. And we only got one bottle per person for a 5 hour tour.. I felt rushed & uninformed at the end of the day. Everyone on the tour felt stressed over getting to the transport bus back to the ship. Too many participates on the tour, not at all personalized. I will NEVER EVER step foot in the city of Lima, Peru again in my lifetime & will NOT recommend this tour to another soul! Offer authentic cultural Tours about life before moderization invaded the world, instead of big, ugly, dirty & overcrowded city tours. I believe alot of people would enjoy that much better! I know these two Beavers would!!

    The guide and the tour were awesome!

    This tour gives you a nice taste of highlights in the area. Lovers Park, St. Francis of Assisi church and the catacombs, central Lima, and the Huaca Pullacana ruins. Patrick was an Excellent guide!!! Great command of English, passionate and knowledgeable about his country and an excellent teller of history.

    Interesting and informative

    This tour takes all day....

    This tour takes all day. Bus shuttle from ship 8:00, returned at 4:45 no lunch stop, only a bottle of water offered at 1:00. A lot of walking.

    Excellent tour .... great guide who spoke fluent english and was a wealth of knowledge. Exceptionally knowledgeable and informative. Even was priviledged to be introduced (via cell phone) to his wonderful young daughter! Driver was also skilled in manuvering through Lima traffic. All I can say about that is WOW!

    The guide was very knowledgable. However communication was not uniform. Some people seid they were told to come at 9:00, some like me waited for an hour from 8:00 am to 9:00 am.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Thank you for your comment. We will continue to improve to offer the best service because your satisfaction is our priority. We look forward to serving you again.

    An overview of Lima

    Paula_M, Nov 2024
    Roxana, our guide, and Jorge, our driver, worked so well together showing us the highlights of Lima and the surrounding area during our first visit to Peru. Roxana was very knowledgeable and demonstrated such passion for her country and culture. Jorge was an incredible driver navigating in lots of traffic. My husband and I highly recommend this tour!

    100 % empfehlenswerter Ausflug

    Dieter_H, Mar 2023
    Unsere Guide Narda hat uns pünktlich am vereinbarten Treffpunkt abgeholt. Kleine Gruppe von nur 9 Personen. Narda spricht gut verständliches Englisch. Sie hat uns viel von ihrer schönen Stadt gezeigt. Wir hatten an jedem Stop ausreichend Zeit, uns umzuschauen und Fotos zu machen. Sogar ein gemütlicher Einkaufsstop im Laden für Alpakawollsachen war möglich. Der Ausflug entsprach in allen Punkten der Ankündigung.

    From $70.00

    per person

    up to 24 hours before the experience starts (local time)
