Great time!

Cristian provided us with a great intro to Lima and Peru, covering not only the essentials of the Centro Historico but also his favourite spots (stick around for a potential free Pisco tasting). He gave great insight into Peruvian culture and where to go in Lima. Highly recommend this tour!
