Excellent tour, made more so by our guide, Allyson

Anne_V, May 2024

Allyson was superb; very knowledgeable and answered a variety of questions. She is also fun and funny, bringing stories to life, not just dry facts. We loved the flexibility of the private tour. It was clear that Allyson is highly regarded by the greetings she received at various sites. Highly recommended tour.

Beautiful and informative

David_B, Feb 2024

The most memorable part of the tour beside the beautiful city was the wealth of knowledge our tour guide shared with us about the area, history and culture of peru/ lima. I would absolutely recomend our tour and especially the guide to any one visiting Lima.

Five Stars!

Carrie_G, Nov 2023

Jocelyn was a wonderful guide - full of information, patient, answered all our questions, and happy to accommodate all of our requests.

Pierre_L, Oct 2023

Plaza de armas and the history of independency of Peru. With our wonderful guide, we were able to know much more better the way of life in Lima.

Great way to experience Lima in a few hours

Natasha_v, Aug 2023

Joselyn was a lovely tour guide, very knowledgeable and charming. The tour covers the historic centre and a bohemian neighbourhood - so a good contrast. Catching the public bus was fun. It was a perfect impression of Lima.

Nit worth it!!

abha, Sep 2022

The guide was pleasant but not knowledgeable, and if she was she didn't share it. I have to imagine Peru has a pretty rich history and culture. We did dot hear any of this.We have been on hundreds of walking tours around the world and this one was the worst. No stories, history, or back stories. My wife and I would not recommend this tour at all.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

We always appreciate all kinds of comments from customers who have taken our services as it helps us improve. Our guides put all the effort to make your trip memorable, Jocelyn never had negative reviews, but despite this we will always strive to improve.

Great Lima center tour!!

LUIS_S, Sep 2022

Great trip, Jorge was really knowledgeable of the area and flexible to change the route. Definitely will recommend it. Riding the local bus system was a nice treat. Especially a packed Metropolitano.

Walking tour in Lima provides great overview of city

Randi_C, May 2022

Great day with tour guide. Jose was on time-super knowledgeable and flexible- we had an insightful tour and found it to be a true value add for our 1 day in Lima.

Good tour

Greg_N, Mar 2022

Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us many things in the city that we would have otherwise missed. She was also very flexible when it came to rearranging the schedule as some of the sights we had already seen. Highly recommend.

Excellent trip with a very knowledgeable guide. Very flexible in spending more time on the things we wanted to explore more. Thank you!

Wonderful way to see central Lima

Stephen_H, Mar 2020

We had a wonderful time with Josie. She walked us through all the right spots and their history. Allowed for alterations to tour. "Oh, you want to look at that. Sure."

Highlights of Lima

acusselle, Jan 2020

Excellent tour with a guide that gave us so much information about Lima. We asked if it was possible to see changing of the guard which was then included in our tour.

Julio is an excellent guide

Matthew_M, Jun 2019

Julio picked me up at my hotel, and we walked around Barranco seeing the key spots: Bridge of Sighs; and Plaza de Armas Barranco. Then we sped into Lima Central on the Metropolitan bus. We walked from Plaza Grau to Plaza San Martin and Plaza de Armas before visiting the catacombs of San Francisco. We then took the Metropolitan bus back to Barranco and he accompanied me to my hotel. The whole time he was friendly, polite, and full of explanations of what we were seeing. Highly recommended and worth the cost.

Excellent walking tour

Chris V, May 2019

We particularly liked that we were the only westerners visible on certain parts of the tour. This walk takes in everything you need to see in the city. If you only have a short period of time and want to cram it all in to a day then do it. The guide Julio knew his stuff and was very informative. We went for an afternoon tour. After a few hours we were starting to tire and needed a drink and asked for a pit stop. He took us to a great old bar called Cordano. We had a quick beer and continued the tour. It was Easter Monday and carnival day in the main square which added to the fun. At the end we opted to go to a great area called Barranco rather than our hotel. He navigated his way through the city excellently using public transpoirt and gave us a guide of the Barranco area too. He even offered to then get us back to the hotel if needed. We said thanks and our goodbye's and enjoyed the nightlife.

This tour was exceptional. Our tour...

Jeremy E, Sep 2018

This tour was exceptional. Our tour guide was a really wonderful young man who lived in the Barranco neighborhood, and he really showed us a great time. We used public transit and felt like we were seeing places that normal tourists do not see or talk about.

We had an excellent tour of Lima...

amir_a, Jul 2018

We had an excellent tour of Lima with Julio earlier this month. He showed up promptly at the Westin to pick us up from the lobby. We utilized the bus system and that was easy for us to navigate the traffic. We did the Historic Center, Barranco, Miraflores, Lover's Park. We had lunch together at Popular in Larcomar. He took tons of pictures for us and was very passionate about his country. He has a wealth of knowledge and was happy to share it with us. We had a lovely time browsing and exploring his lovely city. It was so nice to have a leisurely tour at our own pace. We highly recommend Julio for your next tour. Muchas Gracias Julio! We miss you. The Ahmad Family

We had a great walking and public...

Steve P, Apr 2018

We had a great walking and public transport tour of LIma. Our tour guide Julio met us a location in Lima and from there we spent the day first taking a cab, walking through historical Lima, and then a bus to the beach towns to check out this vibrant area. Our guide Julio took us to a great Peruvian lunch restaurant to make the day complete. Because we were on a cruise ship we dock in Callao, the port town to Lima. This is not a great area, their are port restrictions that don't allow passengers to get a local cab, so our plans on meeting our guide at the agreed location was in jeopardy. But the tour company came through the day before we docked, using emails at sea so that we could arrange to meet at a shopping center convenient to us and our guide. I really appreciated their flexibility. For those on a cruise ship know that getting out of the port may be difficult if you are not on a cruise line tour.

A great tour and our guide was amazing, even though we were significantly delayed.

Lisa N, Aug 2017

The tour was great. My husband and I aren't big on group tours, so having a private guide to take us to the most important sites in Lima was fantastic. Our guide, David, was really informative and a really great person. It felt like a local friend was showing us around his city. The walking/public transport aspect of this trip was also great--not only for the local experience, but also because the traffic is so crazy in the city that we got around a lot faster and more efficiently. We saw a lot more of this beautiful city than we would have otherwise.
