Fantastic/informative half day tour - Our tour guide Janet was amazing and explained the history of Lima and took us to all the highlights of Lima. Our driver was great and helped us see much more of Lima than we could have seen on our own in that amount of time. This was a great way to experience Lima with a local guide.

Not very informative - 1-Guide with little information about the Incas: total population, economy, etc.
2- visits to unattractive places
3- They didn’t pick me up at the hotel by car. I had to go on foot and was still feeling sick from the altitude.
