Great option for a tour - This was a great way to see downtown historic Lima without feeling overwhelmed. I learned a lot. It was cool to see the catacombs. Our tour guide, JJ, was really friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer our questions.

Excellent morning walk - It was excellent morning walk by exploring the histories of the main spots in Lima. Our guide was friendly, knowledgable and with a good sense of humor, which amplified the whole experience. Also, they treated us a traditional snack Churro, which was a bonus surprise.

Excellent central Lima tour - Our guide, César, was knowledgeable, funny & gave us a great overview of the history of central Lima! He also pointed out good spots to try some typical foods and we ended at a charming bar for a pisco sour. We also enjoyed his explanation of our tour of the monastery and catacombs. I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour to get a overview of the historic centre - Our guide Gabriella (Gabby) was the best, she was super knowledgeable, we had enough time everywhere, she made individual suggestions for food and explained everything in a very fun way. Great part was visiting the catacombs and then we even had a Pisco tasting spontaneously. Also our driver Miguel was great, smooth driving through hectic Lima traffic and great with the pick up. Recommend this tour if you a nice introduction into the history.

A good intro to the old city - Having just arrived in Lima this tour was a good intro to the City. Our group of 7 were met by Cesar outside the Gran Hotel Bolivar in Plaza San Martin. The hotel lobby is worth a viewing if you arrive early! Cesar was informative, helpful and enthusiastic on our 3 hour walking tour, over flat ground. The area was busy (Sunday) and the square filled with ethnic dancers who were entertaining and colourful. We walked through the shopping street to the Playa de Armas housing the cathedral and presidential palace. From there the walk continued to the catacombs past the Pisco Sour Museum. Cesar made the visit to the catacombs fun and entertaining.
