Highly recommended tour

sleins, Apr 2024

The guide and driver were both fantastic! Our guide Gaby was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we went and was able to answer all our questions. Our driver did a great job navigating the crazy traffic in Lima, and was also knowledgeable about the area and places we went. We asked lots of questions and it was nice to have locals with us to answer them. We are so glad we spent our first day with them to help guide us through the rest of our stay.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you very kindly for your encouraging review of our Best of Lima tour. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time with Gaby and Jorge and took the time to share with the traveling world of your positive experience. We agree, seeing the city with locals is the best way to have a memorable experience.

Seeing a Whole Different Side of Lima

Jennie_F, Mar 2024

Marco was a fantastic tour guide. He spoke clearly and was extremely knowledgeable about everything. He could answer all of our questions. He gave ample time at each location. We had taken a different tour the day before, and Marco was excellent at revamping the itinerary, so we didn't do the same things. We appreciated his flexibility. The tour that Marco came up with was superb! Jorge was our driver. He was very good at his job.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We are so glad to hear of your review highlighting our flexibility, always a wonderful benefit of a private tour. Marco and Jorge are definitely a great team and always work together to perfectly tweak each and every tour as needed. Kind regards to you both on behalf of our team here at Integrity Tourism.

Great time learning about Lima

Grant_P, Nov 2023

I lived in Lima over 50 years ago, and the only part of the city I recognized was the Historic Center. Everything else has changed dramatically. It was great to have this tour and get acquainted again with such a beautiful city. Our tour guide was great. She was knowledgable, especially about the archetecture since she is a licensed architect in Peru. She joined us for lunch at the Larco Museum which added even more of a personal touch to the tour. This was one of the best tours we have been on.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

How fun to be able to visit after so many years and experience the changes. We are delighted to hear that Nathaly was the perfect fit for you, she does know her architecture! Thank you kindly for the endorsement of this fun and comprehensive tour of Lima!

Great day tour of Lima

Martin_R, Oct 2023

Our Lima day tour was excellent. Natalie was very informative, well-spoken and a pleasure to be with. She gave us lots of information about Lima- it's history and culture. Jorge was a great driver, especially going up the dirt roads to the mountain top and navigating crazy Lima traffic. We would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for your review of our excellent services. Nathaly and Jorge make a great team and we are glad that you felt safe and welcomed during your experience. Please receive our kindest regards, Lisa.

Great Lima historical tour!

Full day in comfort learning

Brad, Jul 2023

This tour is jam packed! In one day you will get a real feel for Lima. I was only in Lima for two full days of my vacation and this was the best possible way I could have spent that first full day. Gabi was our guide and Jorge our driver. They were both great. Gabi is just the best guide. She's knowledgeable, super nice, and made the day wonderful. You see a beautiful museum, eat at its well known and very good restaurant, a convent, a church, the romantic district, an incredible vew of the city, the main plaza with its government buildings, and an outside view of a fascinating archeological site. Based on this tour it was easy for me to pick out the things I wanted to do the second day. Gabi had a bunch of suggestions that helped.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for such a detailed description of this tour which truly highlights all of the "Best of Lima" in just one day. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Gaby and Jorge and we will be sure to let them know. Warm regards to you!

Excellent in every way

L_M, Jul 2023

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Excellent Tour - Reccomend

David_W, Jun 2023

Our guide Marco was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Lima. Would highly recommend. The vehicle used was clean and comfortable and the driver was superb dealing with Lima traffic.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you sir, we appreciate you taking the time to drop us such a nice review! It was our pleasure to show you around Lima for the day and we wish you both the best on your journey.

The accommodations made for my mobility needs made this excellent tour possible

William_B, Mar 2023

The tour was excellent in every way. I was traveling with a rented mobility scooter which other tour operators could not transport. Marco and our driver were able to load it into their van and unload it at several points for access to pedestrian areas, churches and museums. I would not have been able to do this tour without their help. The tour hit the highlights of lima and was extremely enjoyable. Marco was a great and knowledgeable guide. I am very grateful to Integrity Tours for making the accommodations that allowed me to do this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

We are so glad that you reached out to us beforehand and let us know about the scooter, it worked out perfectly to ensure we had the right sized vehicle for you. We're also happy Marco was the perfect fit for you and that you were able to see so much of Lima on your excursion for the day. We hope you will make it back again in the future in order to let us show you around a bit more. Kindest regards.
