Perfect tour for Lima - The driver and guide were excellent. We felt very safe with Hernan behind the wheel! Traffic was pretty busy and he managed it like a professional. Nicholas was thorough with his presentations at the various sites. He answered random questions from our group effortlessly and clearly. Once completed they dropped us off at a restaurant we wanted and added additional information for things we needed to do after dinner.

WONDERFUL! - Had a wonderful experience with this tour! Our tour guide Pedro was the sweetest, and he was very patient with all of our group as we were looking around the beautiful sites and doing some shopping as well. He explained everything in detail, and was funny too. Very very nice human being, and very welcoming to a diverse group of tourists including Latinos, Americans and myself (Armenian). He also had a lovely sense of humor, so it made our tour that much more fun! Highly recommend - you will be well versed with all of beautiful Lima, and fun along the way :)

Great tour of Lima! - This tour was absolutely amazing! This is in large part due to Nico the tour guide. I had a million questions and Nico was very knowledgable and friendly throughout the tour. We started the tour in a nice, clean and air conditioned vehicle that was driven by an excellent driver; Oscar. We started the tour to the temple of Pachamac were we saw Alpacas (not always guaranteed!) and were able to learn a lot about Peru's pre-colonial history and culture. Nico cares a lot about his profession and is extremely knowledgeable of all the sites we visited. Then, we stopped at a nice spot in Barranco for a meal. Nico gave us excellent reccomendations and we loved our meals. We also saw a lot of Barranco's culture through historic landmarks and art; something we passed by all the time and had no idea of the importance until our knowledgeable guide explained this to us. Afterwards, we went to the old city center to visit the catacombs and were able to get a very nice tour of the catacombs which were rich with history. Finally, finishing off the tour we got to see the water-circuit tour in Miraflores. This was well worth the money and with Nico as your guide youre in the best hands. This tour and in particular in Nico made our trip to Peru that much better. Would highly recommend 11/10!

English city tour booked but not received. Refund was refused. - I had booked an English city tour. For three people. When we got on the bus, it soon became clear that the tour was in Spanish. We asked for it. But unfortunately no English-speaking guide was provided. So the three of us didn't understand anything about the city tour. And with that we had spent our money for nothing. The money was not refunded to us. Therefore, in our opinion, this guided city tour is not recommended.
