Lima City Tour

Our tour guide was great but I feel like we did not learn very much about the city. However the changing of the guard was great and so was the pisco sour tasting. The tasting was the highlight of the tour! And our guide also gave us some great restaurant recommendations.

Lima walking tour

Walking tour across Lima with Susana, who provided us with interesting information about the city and answered our questions. We also appreciated her availability for the tour even though we were the only two people. Recommended!

Álvaro crack

Muy completo el recorrido, las explicaciones, el ambiente. Álvaro ademas dio explicaciones en ingles y español, super claras ambas. Probamos pisco sin necesidad de comprar o pagar en el lugar. Todas las preguntas que le hicimos a nuestro guía fueron respondidas de buena manera y con información relevante. Recomiendo.
