What made our tour truly worth the time and money was Gabriel Salazar’s exceptional knowledge of his country’s history, as well as that of others. His passion for his work is captivating, drawing you into his teachings and creating engaging conversations. This was far more than just a point-to-point tour. Gabriel took the time to answer our questions while also respecting our personal space. Additionally, Victor, our driver, ensured we traveled safely and stayed on schedule as we explored various locations. We highly recommend this tour—it will leave you with a fresh and meaningful perspective on Peru.
Personalized experience with SoniaKlara_J
I had the pleasure of exploring Lima with Sonia as my guide, and the experience was exceptional. Sonia's deep knowledge of Peruvian culture and history added incredible depth to the tour, providing a richer understanding of the places we visited. What stood out most was her flexibility and willingness to tailor the experience to my interests. Whether it was exploring specific landmarks or discovering hidden gems, Sonia ensured that every moment aligned with what I wanted to see and learn.
If you are visiting Lima, this churches and balconies tour is a must!napanapa_3
Our first day in Lima, we enjoyed a half-day tour of the city's gorgeous churches and balconies. Thanks to our outstanding guide, Ursula, we learned so much about the fascinating history and culture of this amazing city. We felt the tour was extensive and included the most important churches and exquisite balconies in the city. Absolutely an outstanding way to view Lima through a unique and very focused perspective. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable walk through the city of LimaR4830BVjaviere
Jul 19, 2023, 10:44:00 AM City full of contrasts, the ancient and mystical in perfect conjunction with the modern, mixing the pre Inca, Quechua, colonial and today. Its people so kind, loving and proud of their roots, their struggles and what it means to be Peruvian.
You definitely have to visit this city with a guide to understand everything. We were fortunate to have Gabriel Salazar take us from the past to the present in all its dimensions, a walking library this gentleman, can answer all the questions you imagine, although by his vast experience and intellectual generosity believe me that there are not too many questions that remain to be asked. And of course to transit this beautiful city no one like Victor who can dodge what presents in the chaotic traffic of Lima.
