Excellent Historical Tour - Susana was an amazing tour guide—full of energy and enthusiasm from start to finish. She explained the route clearly and kept everyone engaged throughout the experience. We especially enjoyed the journey from Hotel Bolívar to the final stop, which was well-paced and interesting. The pisco tasting was a fantastic highlight—we learned a lot about Peru’s national drink while having a great time. Highly recommended! Cheers!

Very good experience - They made room for us even though we got there last minute. Gabriel with very good disposition even lent us his umbrella. A lot of church, but I think that's typical of the tour.

Historic Center Tour - It was an awesome experience where we got to learn a lot and see all of the beautiful architecture of the historic center. Our tour guide Gabriel was very patient with us and provided so much knowledge. It was refreshing to see a different side of Peru than from my last visit. Thank you Gabriel and Enjoy Lima Walking for this! My coworkers and I had a blast, especially with the Pisco tasting at the end. Totally recommend this tour!

Great tour of Lima’s top sights! - Bernice was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable and engaging. There were only two of us, so we had the bonus of a private tour and could ask lots of questions and stop for pictures. Saw all the major sights! Highly recommend!
