Best way to see and learn about Lima and its history with a great guide! - Excellent walking tour of Old Lima! Juan was a phenomenal guide-interesting, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Lima and its history. Interactive and encouraged questions. Was able to quickly bring up information and maps on his phone to help us visualize changes over the years and show us specifics to the native culture related to what we were seeing!

Fun tour with Alex - Had a terrific tour today with Alex. He was very nice and super knowledgeable and pleasant, and he's English is perfect. The ONLY downside at all was that, on the way back to the hotel after the trip, we were piled in a van full of other people from a different tour, which made the time and comfort of the ride much different than the private car on the way there. I thought this was a small group/semi-private tour, and the first part with Jenny and MEsh was terrific, but the van full of loud people that we were crammed in with on the way back was not fun.
