An interesting tour to... - An interesting tour to admire some architecture and art, and to know the history of the place. Our guide Renzo gave a lot of interesting details, especially about the Convent.

My 12 years old son rated this as one of our top experiences! - We had an amazing experience with Aura. She was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. This was a father and son activity and she made it very memorable with all her insights about the city and the catacombs.

Learned a lot about Peruvian culture and history - We enjoyed seeing a different part of the city than the neighborhood our AirBnB was in. The architecture, culture, and history was all good to see, but it was Alex's knowledge and commentary that put it all in context. For instance, in the Catacombs, if we'd gone by ourselves, we'd have seen a lot of bones and skulls. But with Alex, he pointed out the different sized femurs and noted that the longer femurs were of Africans who were brought over as slaves. The pile of bones suddenly had an identity. The shorter bones were probably Peruvian or Spanish, the longer ones African. With that tidbit, we could look at the bones and imagine the person those bones used to belong to. The Catacombs came to life in our mind thanks to Alex. We highly recommend this tour.

History buff and well articulated! Thoroughly enjoyed Renzo! - Renzo was the sort of guide that you appreciate he is a historical junky! Very educated in the history of Peru and the sights. His local insight was so helpful! Enjoyed chatting with him about many interests as well! Fantastic 1/2 day tour that began at 2p,which I needed as my visit was short and I did not want to wake up early to do a tour!

When you meet the perfect guide! - When roaming the world it’s essential to get to know the locals, the scene and the vibe and history. The local knowledge is that little bit extra that makes a trip a journey. Aura is the type of guide that makes all the difference when learning, understanding, getting mesmerised during a city walk in Lima, Peru and she comes more than highly recommended. Aura, you are awesome. Bjorn
