Klaudia is amazing - Klaudia was amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable about history and remembers important events, dates, years, and eras with remarkable recall. Although it was only a half-day tour, I left feeling very well informed about the history of Lima. She was able to connect with each tour participant based on their individual interests, whether in health, history, politics, or current events. She is truly a great tour guide. My highlight was the fruit tasting and visiting the herbal stand, which featured an incredible selection of teas and dried herbs. I highly recommend this tour.

He was able to provide a lot of context about current politics and social issues and Perú while also sharing about the history of Peru. The catacombs were very interesting and there were lots of cool buildings to see in the city center.
