“My daughter and I took this walking tour on a Sunday from 9am-3pm. Mr Lazaro met us at the hotel right on time. We visited Miraflores, the Historic Center and Barranco, enjoying public transportation all day long which is excellent in Lima. Modern, fast, neat and user friendly. Mr Lazaro was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. He recommended a great restaurant in the Historic Center where we had Lima's well known seafood. He taught us about history, economy, social issues in Lima etc etc. We highly recommend this private tour!! Worth it!!”

“This tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Lima for the first time. Whenever I travel to a new city, I make it a point to start with an introductory tour like this to get my bearings and understand the layout of the neighborhoods and local communities. This experience fulfilled that purpose perfectly—but what made it stand out was our guide, Felipe. Admittedly, I was initially unsure about Felipe due to his youthful appearance. I wondered how much insight he could offer. I couldn’t have been more mistaken.

“Fantastische tour. Onze gids was Favio en hij was eerder op de afgesproken plek dan wij. Hij stuurde netjes een appje waarin hij zich voorstelde en dat hij er al was.

We hebben meer tours gedaan in verschillende steden, maar nog nooit…”
