Excellent 8 hours to see Lima City with a great guide - This is an excellent 8 hour tour of Lima city. They picked us up from our hotel in Miraflores and then the first part of the tour started. This was a tour of the downtown area of Lima City along with a visit to the Catacombs. Our guide Jonathan explained the history really well. This was followed by a lunch break. In the afternoon we were shown all the important neighborhoods of Lima with stops at every neighborhood. Again Jonathan provided us great information about each neighborhood. We were finally dropped at our hotel. Excellent way to spend a day in Lima learningg about the rich history and culture of the city with a very knowledgeable guide who spoke English very well

Ok, not spectacular - Ok tour, but rather uninspiring, slow paced. Was expecting more, more interesting sites, highlights, entertaining experiences. Perhaps our expectations were too high after Cusco and Lake Titicaca. Perhaps an extra day in Titicaca and a less day in Lima.
