A good first tour to explore Lima - We took this tour on our first day in Lima. The stop was located 500 meters from our hotel, which certainly determined our decision. They have 2 tour start times at 11 and 14:30, we originally booked for 11 but then moved to 14:30. The guide was very informative and conducted the tour perfectly in 2 languages, which was very convenient. He paid time and attention to everyone, but there were only 12 of us for the whole bus. I especially liked the main square and the Catacombs and the pisco tasting at the very end of the tour.

Buen City tour - Good option if you don't know and you don't have how to move in lime to have an overview of the area.... they were very friendly and picked us up on the way as we didn't reach the schedule of the game.... it leaves from miraflores , saint isidro passes by the square of arms and saint martin square to know the historical center of lime, where the guide goes down with the group to tell the story, then continues to the church where the catacombs are. Photos are not allowed but it is an interesting place to visit. A good walk!! All very friendly

Zero-eight-fifteen-tourist tour - The departure was on time, and the journey to the center was also quite quick, with explanations in Spanish and English. From the center, we continued on foot. At the Plaza Mayor, we had to listen to very long and detailed explanations in both languages, standing and in the blazing sun. Hardly anyone was listening, but they droned on. Then we went on to the catacombs and then to a souvenir shop, where we could try and buy Pisco. On to the bus stop, then we stood in the blazing sun for almost half an hour and the bus didn't leave. All buses had a shade roof - except this one. It wasn't that spectacular, you could have taken public transport there too.

Good but careful - The very good guide, knows about the history of Lima. The bus is comfortable. You only have to be careful when they take you to the pisco tasting near the Plaza de Armas, because they try to sell you a bottle of pisco for 80 soles when in any market you get it in 20 soles. I thought it was an abuse of the tourist.

Not a good experience - Although our tour guide spoke English and Spanish, her Spanish explanations were much longer and for the English part she just read aloud the tourist signs around the Basilica. She also only aimed the tour at a few specific people and ignored everybody else. It just didn't feel worth it to have the tour, even though I spoke both Spanish and English, because she didn't put much effort in. She also was unable to answer most follow-up questions we had about the things she was showing us- her main reply was that we should research it ourselves.

Oh, bad. Use Metro - Oh, bad. Use the subway. Chaotic traffic. Very hot. Smell of diesel from the bus all the time. I'll never go again. A bad idea

Terrible customer service - They mistreated us, the lady who attended the point treated us with anger, she put on headphones to not give us information. He spoke badly to us, we told him that he shouldn't treat us like that, and he got up and came too close to me. HORROR. He gave us bad information and we lost 2 hours of our day. :( Very sad to be treated like this on vacation.
