Unforgettable experience - Excellent Service. This is the second time I've hired, this time privately. Our guide Yelsin 10/10 was very friendly and attentive, he shared stories and important data of the historic center. We finished with the water circuit show which was an amazing show.

Walking tour of historic downtown Lima - Interesting guided foot tour centered in the historic area of Lima. If you’re interested in history and the events that formed the nation of Peru from ancient times to the modern day with some architecture and ruins to visit along the way then this will be 2 hours well spent. The tour of the catacombs is a highlight but we found all aspects fascinating. Our guide Joced spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable across the broad set of topics covered. He was able to go beyond the canned commentary and go deeper on the topics where we were most interested.
