Our guide did the bare minimum and if you’re looking for somebody to point out the tile in Starbucks this is for you
Sofia_B, Apr 2024
Our tour guide did the bare minimum for this tour. Due to lunch reservations which lasted a bit longer than anticipated, we had to begin the tour and she offered us the option of a local neighborhood which we agreed to. What our guide didn’t tell us was that she could only give us a tour for an hour, and the tour of the neighborhood was terrible. It consisted of us having to constantly ask her questions and she would make statements such as “there’s a Starbucks, look at the tile” or “there’s a Kentucky Fried Chicken” when we had told her we were passionate about history and historical preservation and culture. It was confusing since she offered to have the driver take us to the artesanal market in Lima, but then when we were in another artesanal market she said that the tour ended at five. This was not worth the price we paid and frankly we would have been better off listening to an audiobook tour of the Barranco neighborhood.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you very much for your feedback regarding our tour. We regret not having been informed in advance that you had made your own reservation for lunch at the exclusive restaurant Central, a 14-course gastronomic experience that lasts approximately 3 hours. Your scheduled tour was supposed to start at 2 pm but began at 4 pm, departing from the restaurant located in the Barranco district. From the restaurant to downtown Lima, it takes 45 minutes, so there was not enough time to visit the included attractions, as they close at 5 pm. The guide offered the tour of the bohemian district of Barranco, which was accepted. Had we been informed of your lunch at Central at least 24 hours in advance, your tour would have been rejected by our operations department. Unfortunately, we only became aware of it on the same day. Your feedback, however, helps us improve our processes to gather more information about our travelers. We hope that your stay in Peru was wonderful despite these coordination issues.

Our guide Hernando. He was very knowledgeable, well informed and pleasant and courteous. We were extremely pleased that he was our personal guide who showed us the sights we wanted to see.
A DAY WITH KINDHEARTED URSULA
Aida L, Oct 2019
Sadly, I got foot sprain before the tour even started while crossing the street. Ursula decided to bring me to ER as my left foot was so painful & unable to walk through the rest of the tour. She assisted us all through the process in the hospital & brought us back to the hotel to rest my aching foot. Despite missing that tour, I’m very thankful to Ursula for the kindness, support & care she has given us. Thank you very much, Ursula. I don’t regret missing the tour. Instead, i experienced the hospitality of the Peruvian people.
