A window on Lima’s past. - The guides we had the pleasure to spend some time with during our trip to Peru truly helped to make the experience a memorable one. Our guide on this tour, the charming Renzo, was no exception. Well informed, explaining the facts in a coincise, clear and fun manner, adding a bit of mystery here and there, made the tour utterly enjoyable. Being picked up and dropped off by a safe and professional driver added to the pleasure. Highly recommended! Thank you.

Very constructive experience - Excellent tour and at a fairly modest price, Renzo's guide was spectacular and we knew much about the history and secrets of the San Francisco Monastery (misnamed convent hahahaj)

A great day in Lima - Very interesting and knowledgeable tour guide with feeling and background. The tour picked up on time and drove through the Lima traffic without incidents, which I would call a miracle.
