Excellent way to start my Lima visit - Well rounded introduction to central Lima. I particularly enjoyed our exploration of the central Mercado and the catacombs. Pamela was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. She gave this first-time Lima visitor excellent suggestions for using my remaining time here.

Lima City, Central Market and Catacombs - Our guide, Juan, was the best tour guide we have ever had, and we have been on many tours throughout the world. He was personable, highly knowledgeable, respectful, and accommodating. His knowledge of Peruvian history, dating back thousands of years, as well as his more contemporary historical knowledge made the tour interesting and relevant. At no time did we feel bored or inundated with facts and figures, yet we learned so much about Peruvian history and society that we have a much greater respect and appreciation for it now. Juan and the driver, Henry, were first rate and are a credit to their business and profession!

Highly Recommend, Fantastic Tour Guide - We were a multigenerational group and this tour kept everyone engaged and entertained! It was a great introduction to the history of Peru and Lima. We especially enjoyed the behind the scenes catacomb tour. Our tour guide, Athenas, was an absolute professional. She engaged all members of our small tour group of 12 who were made up of three different families. She used humor throughout the tour and was clearly knowledgeable about each of the sites we visited. Our pick up and drop off went seamlessly, with our driver keeping us safe as he navigated Lima traffic smoothly. Truly, a great way to spend an afternoon.

Exceptional guide, visit pos places more emblematic and with more history DE Lima. - We visit the most emblematic places, the guide Renzo the best, explanations beyond DE history with anecdotes. Maybe I would miss EN entering some more POR church, it got short even though it was 3 hours!
