Karen_H, Apr 2024

Pick up at hotel was on time, it was comfortable ride on an air conditioned large van to downtown Lima. Caesar was an excellent guide, great energy and humour and lots of info about the Peruvian lifestyle. He pointed out many interesting things along the walk through a few plazas and down a bustling pedestrian street by churches and municipal building. He treated us to a Peruvian churro and we stopped at the best place to have a pisco sour. We appreciated the list of good restaurants he provided at end of trip. Tony the driver got us back and forth safely. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a 4 hr tour.
