Experience Lima Off the Beaten Path - I had a great experience on this tour and learned so much. Miguel was an amazing guide who was very friendly, answered all my questions, and had such a positive attitude. The driver, Hugo, was also great and the entire experience felt very safe!

Do include this in your Lima itinerary - Eduardo is a fantastic guide! He shared so much not only about the tour itself but also about Lima and Peruvian life.. very knowledgeable! The tour itself is amazing! Do include it in your plans. We also felt very safe and comfortable with our driver Angel who knew how to navigate the congested streets of Lima with ease. We also appreciated being picked up from our hotel in a comfortable and roomy vehicle. A+ experience all around! Thank you Eduardo and Angel for a memorable day!

A tour that is a hidden gem - A nice trip back in the past among a big site that remains to be discovered. A must-see and a well-organized tour. A little tip : ask your guide to go to the bathroom at the entrance of the site (where the ticket office is). There are no bathroom whatsoever all along the way and people were rushing to the toilet at the end of the tour. Now you know. ;-)

Pre Incan Archaeological Site and Museum - Very interesting visit to the partially excavated archaeological site of Pachacamac. The museum was particularly interesting and informative. Well worth a visit, including the views of the surrounding areas from the Temple of the Sun. Edwin was our tour guide and he was excellent!

An experience that you can not miss - If you want to know the history of pre Inca and after Inca you should take that tour! It is a private tour and the driver and the tour guide are very good! The tour guide knows pretty well the history! Everything was included and that is why it seems expensive but according to me it is worth it!
