Our Lima City Tour - Our tour guide Jose as well as the driver were excellent. Jose showed up on the dot at the hotel for pick up and accommodated my wife's desire to visit the Lighthouse point without any compliant. Jose, you need to WhatsApp the pictures you took when our phones ran out of charge.

Excellent Lima City Tour - Carlos was our driver and Jose our tour guide. Carlos was excellent expertly navigating the Lima traffic scene and getting us safely to all of our excursions! Jose was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything to us about the history and modern times of the city. He also took our pictures and was very patient/flexible during what seemed like a misunderstanding of when to pick us up/expect us on the tour. He found us and immediately got us up to speed on what we missed before we joined the rest of the group. He was awesome and I’ll definitely recommend him! The tour itself gave us a good idea of Perú’s history, culture, and present day challenges. Super informative especially if you do not have a lot of time in Lima.

Fantastic Tour!!! - Jose was a really great tour guide! He was very very knowledgeable and also made his explanation very entertaining. He also asked me a lot of questions so he would understand what I was interested in. He really made sure I was happy and satisfied. If he asks you to try some Pisco I highly recommend it. :) The driver was professional and friendly as well.

Excellent highlights tour - Took a chance on the private tour and we’re so happy! Javier and his driver were right on time. Took us on a morning tour starting in Mira Flores and into the central part of Lima.
Parque amor was a quick but cute stop. Then to Huaca Pucllana for some history of the region. Then to central Lima. We loved the catacombs and museum. Pit stop for Churos at San Francisco - the best - better than Spain.
Highly recommend.

A great tour of Lima in one day! - This was a great tour! We enjoyed walking in the streets of Lima and learning about its history and traditions. We got to visit a lot of places in a relatively short amount of time. Thankfully, there wasn’t a lot of traffic, well planned! Thank you for this experience!

Great tour - Our driver was very skilled and we felt safe. Our guide was knowledgeable and professional. He was accommodating as we wanted to add Chinatown and a market to the tour. He and driver went over their time for us. The guide was great to help us take photographs ! They are great company and I would highly recommend them !

Disappointing - Very poor tour. The guide wasn’t engaging or informative, didn’t look like he wanted to be there and finished an hour earlier; after rushing us out of the last stop. A shame as this tour had many good reviews and we were excited to attend.
