A pleasant way to explore Lima. - A pleasant way to spend half a day in Lima Central exploring history and culture. Our guide, Cesar was knowledgeable, lively, and fun. The churros from a local market were delicious! And the catacombs were quite interesting. Our driver Tony was friendly and safe.

Excellent experience with Ceasar in Old Town Lima - Great visit to the. Major sites of Old Town Lima. Cesar was an excellent and professional guide. Not only did he give a great tour but kept our interest and showed a real passion in sharing his passion of Lima. He was always ensuring that all members of the group were apart of the group and caring for the welfare and safety of everyone. He provided a good balance of pertinent facts, history and trivia without telling us too much. Questions were always answered and he kept the pace suitable for everyone. He was one of the best city guides we’ve had. Thanks for the excellent job.

Great walking tour - Our walking city tour of historical Lima was fantastic! Our guide, Gabi, was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of each location to life with her insights. The visit to the monastery and catacombs was especially memorable—an amazing glimpse into Lima’s past that we won’t soon forget. To top it all off, we ended with a pisco tasting, which was the perfect way to wrap up such an enriching tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper look at Lima’s history and culture with limited time.

Lima Half Day Walking Tour - What a great start to my trip to Peru! I took the half day city tour the afternoon of 3rd November in the company of two ladies visiting from the US. We got to see all the main sights in the historical centre of Lima with great insight provided by our guide on the city's history with an interesting alternative viewpoint on Peru's independence from Spain. The catacombs were fascinating and our guide was an ex-employee guide from there so gave us lots of information. Spend some time studying the painting of 'The Last Supper' in the Franciscan convent and how it had been painted to be relevant to the indigenous population. Our guide had a genuine warmth and love for his city!

Great tour, fun times - Cesar was a great tour guide, he had lots of good information. His English is very good and easy to understand. After seeing some of the larger tours being in a small tour was a better experience

Excellent City Tour with Excellent Guide - The perfect introduction to Lima with the perfect Guide and Driver! Our guide, Cesar, was professional, knowledgeable, humorous and helpful. He knew the City history, could address our questions, introduced us to local foods, kept everything fun and interesting, and made recommendations for later. We chose the option to be picked up and dropped from the hotel. Wow, that definitely made our life easier given the crazy traffic throughout Lima. Our driver, Isait, was great and the van new and comfortable. Cesar and Isait made a great team and a very enjoyable tour. Thank you both and we hope to tour with you on our next trip to Lima.
