Really knowledgable guide - We chose a private tour with Juan and were not disappointed. He knows Lima city inside and out. He also reads people well, he was following the script but noticed my teenager was loosing interest in some of the historical so he proposed alternative venues that matched the mood of the group. He knew the displays in several museums so well he specifically took us to highlights.
Really pleased to have dealt with Juan for a private tour. The family was exhausted but happy at the end of the day.

Complete and informative city tour - I loved the way to use the times of the agency well since in Lima it is vital to plan transfers due to high car flow issues. Miko arranged a nice itinerary with pick up at our hotel passing through the love park and then we were shown some very well maintained ruins and in the middle of an urban area which was very unusual and interesting (Huaca Pucllana). The confuctor was excellent patient and informative. Then we went to the colonial center and had a day full of history and good food. Recommended to do the catacombs of San Francisco. Thank you Juan for all your support in our visit to Lima

Great way to spend a 6 hr layover in Lima - I had a 6 hr layover in Lima and they took me to Miraflores and Barranco. Well worth the time and money and the driver and guide were both great (educated, fluent, professional and flexible)
