“A hearty way to cover Lima with a local - The bike tour was the highlight of our day in Lima! Ronny was humble, well-traveled, and in his words ‘more Peruvian than a potato.’ He was kind and treated us to the famous local Inka Cola. We saw things like the street art tunnel we would have missed on our own.” - Reviewed on 2023-09-04
