Gabriella was a great and informative (and funny) guide! I learned a lot and saw very interesting things. And the driver Barony was top notch. He let me practice my (poor) Spanish with him!

Great tour. Gaby, our guide, and Baroni, our driver, were very nice!
Picked us up at hotel. We were in a can with 10 others. The sites were lovely. Lots of traffic and time in the van.
Pick up was prompt, with good communication in advance. Tour was in English and Spanish. It was fine, but clear that guide rattles through the same script twice a day. Catacomb visit was okay, but the whole thing was rushed. There was the detour into a shop that sold alpaca and an obligatory group photo. Then a choice of staying in old town, getting dropped at Parque Kennedy or back at the hotel. The guide helped with photos and asked if there were questions. It was okay, but not more than that.
Yahaira was an awesome guide. We enjoyed the tour, and were happy to discover a center with character in Lima.
This your was great. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. She was kind and able to answer all questions.
Yahaira was fantastic!!!! All the buildings and church was a wonderful experience.
I can fully recommend the tour
Wonderful love the site . Gaby was a great guide. The museum and site impresos me a lot.
Yahaira Was Ana amazing tour guide and shared so much information in English and Spanish. She did an amazing job managing all the people on the tour and was always available for additional questions.
Yahaira Was so sweet. She had a group of English and Spanish speaking guests and she effortlessly made everyone feel welcome and communicated with both groups fully. She kept the group together and on schedule without making it feel rushed. We got a full city your experience.
Good way to learn a few things about Lima even if you are short on time. Yahira our tour guide was lovely
Yahaira was an amazing guide, very aware of the number of English/Spanish speakers; alternated which language is spoken first and was so friendly and happy to answer questions!
This was a very good tour. The guide, Yahaira was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Excellent tour.
Yahaira was a great guide! I was the only one who couldn't speak Spanish and she did an excellent job making sure everything was explained in English. Nice to explore the downtown and historic sites.
Excellent value. Our guide Cesar was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He switched between Spanish and English easily, and because I was the last one on the van at the end, our driver took me straight to a restaurant to meet co-workers which was very nice. We also spent plenty of time in the historic district exploring.
Was very interesting tour and Mario very knowledgeable in all the places visited. Our driver Armando was superb navigating the roads in Peru.
I didn’t expect central Lima to have so much beautiful architecture. Seeing it as part of a guided visit made the experience much better because we actually understood the history behind some of the places.
What I liked most was that the experience felt balanced. It was not just transportation from place to place, but a full activity with history, good pacing, and a unique stop at the catacombs.
Recommended for first-time visitors This tour is a good option for anyone wanting to explore Lima in a simple and organized way. The catacombs added a unique touch to the whole experience.
Nice first glimpse at the city, the guide was very enthusiastic and giving good explanations. She was attentive to everyone in the group.
From booking to the very end, everything was highly professional. We received clear information and they always replied quickly to our inquiries.
Excellent small group tour! We visited the main places in the city centre, including the catacombs which were very interesting. Our vehicle was very comfortable, we had a very good driver and our guide Leonardo was great! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the old town centre and learn more about Lima’s history.
Excellent tour, quite comprehensive and very entertaining.
It was very educational! We really had a great experience with Pamela, she was a great tour guide!!
Very good service, excellent explanation, we were able to learn about part of their culture.
4 hours of tour where an hour and a quarter is already spent on the trip from Miraflores to downtown Lima, in downtown Lima we saw the San Francisco convent with its catacombs, the Plaza de Armas and little else, back again to Miraflores taking another hour and a quarter to arrive, very briefly we passed by Huaca Pucllana which was a blink and you'll miss it, to then go to the Park of Love. And that's the end of the services, that is, more than two and a half hours are spent in transportation, to see practically nothing. That said, the guide was a 10 out of 10, I congratulate her.
I recommend this tour for when you have little time to explore the city, it is a small group, very well explained by the guide and with transportation only for the group, for me it was perfect.
A very nice experience to learn about the background of the place, thank you very much to the guide Gaby.
Gabriela was wonderful, her way of explaining and her kindness was incredible
My experience was incredibly satisfactory, if I return I would look for them again because all the staff was very professional...
It was a very interesting and informative experience from our guide, very organized and punctual. It is very important to be punctual because traffic can be chaotic.
The tour was very well organized from start to finish. I especially liked the visit to the Historic Center and the Catacombs. Everything went according to the planned schedule.
What caught my attention the most were the Catacombs. It is a place that is definitely worth visiting if you go to Lima. The organization of the tour was very good.
I didn't know much about the history of Lima and this tour helped me quite a bit to understand it. The explanation during the visit was clear and entertaining.
Unforgettable and wonderful moments
The tour is very good from the pickup to the places they took us, but without a doubt the one who made the experience very pleasant is the guide Mario or Supermario as we called him, he surprised us with all the information he provided us, being very dynamic, and the best thing was that in the vehicle he kept talking to us and teaching us about the whole city, even the typical dishes and the spices they are made with. You are the best Supermario
I liked that the tour was not heavy or too fast. It was well balanced and the visit to the catacombs gave a truly special touch to the experience.
The tour was organized, the pickup was punctual, and the visit to the catacombs made the experience much more interesting.
I liked the organization of the city tour and the visit to the catacombs. The transfer from the hotel facilitated a lot and everything seemed well coordinated from beginning to end.
The truth is we had a very good time during the whole tour, they came to pick us up at the agreed time at the hotel and the guide explained the whole history of the center of Lima and the catacombs super well, it is a quite complete tour and not boring at all, totally recommended if you are in the area.
I had seen photos before the trip, but being there in person is something else. Without a doubt the most interesting place on the tour.
For the price paid, we feel it was totally worth it. Includes transportation, guide, and tickets.
Getting to know the city of Lima and its tourist spots alongside the guide who accompanied my family and me was an excellent experience; I loved the places and I loved the service they provided us. Thank you very much for having given us that experience.
We went with our children and we all enjoyed the tour a lot. The time at each stop was sufficient to take photos and learn about the history.
I did not expect to learn so much about the history of Lima. The visit to the San Francisco Convent and the Catacombs was the favorite moment of the entire excursion.
It was our first time in Lima and this tour was perfect to start the trip. They picked us up promptly at the hotel and the tour was very well organized. The Catacombs were impressive and the historic center is much prettier than we imagined.
