Highly recommended tour in Lima! - I use a lot of tours with a guide all over the world. Alexandra is the best tour guide I have ever had. She is very friendly, kind and has excellent conversation skills. Her attention to details is impeccable. She is the only tour guide with whom I honestly retained all the information that she shared. I wish I had more trips with her is Peru. Jimmy - our driver was very good and a safe driver. The tour itinerary is good. We were not rushed, had ample time to see places and have questions. It was small group of 5 which was amazing!

Wonderful introduction to Lima and Peru. - Lima Highlights Tours provided an exceptional full day tour of Lima. We were short on time and this tour hit the main areas to see. Our guide, Martin, was professional and very knowledgeable about Lima and Peru. A great way to get introduced to Lima and Peru. A van picked us up and dropped us off at your hotel, which was nice as Lima's traffic is hectic.

Excellent tour - The tour was truly enjoyable and very well organized. Jonathan was extremely professional and competent, while Susan was kind, empathetic, and incredibly well-prepared. They really did everything they could for us, also speaking more than one language. I'm quite sure that not much more could have been done in a single day.

Great way to see the best of Lima in a day - It was a great day out with Jonathan. In the morning we explored the love park, strolled through the art filled Barranco area and Olive Park, and then learned about Huaca pucllana. I was then dropped back at my hotel to refresh and have some lunch. Then in the afternoon I was picked up again and we explored Plazas in the old city area and visited the catacombs. A perfect way to check out the best parts of the city.

1st time to Lima - After watching some videos online I decided it was best to book a tour of these neighborhoods to get a feel for the area. Jonathan was very informative and answered all our questions. It’s well worth doing and just long enough so the tour never dragged on.
Highly recommend so much so we booked the historical tour with Lima Highlights
