Excellent staff and tour - From the first contact the agency was excellent, Jimena very attentive, kind and excellent professional. Super polite translation team, punctual (even with chaotic traffic rsrs), attentive. The Guide Edwin was amazing, bringing not only historical information (very well studied), but also fun in the explanations, attention, empathy and excellent photographer! I recommend this agency to all Brazilians.

If you go with Yoced you won’t be disappointed! - We had the most wonderful time with Yosed as our guide! The food tour was great, and he happily accommodated my dietary restrictions. We also enjoyed the ‘monuments’ portion of the tour, and learned a lot about Peruvian history in a short time. Yoced was knowledgeable and affable, and he has a nice sense of humor. Highly recommend!!

Street Food meets History Channel - We had a great time with Gustavo on this tour. He is very knowledgeable and fun to hang with. The tour is a "Street Food" meets History Channel crossover. If you want to discover local (real local) food this is for you. Also, we got to the catacombs tour with our guide and discover catholic influence in the city. Again, I want to reiterate to take this tour, worth every penny spent.

The perfect mix for culture and food lovers - I booked Premium Best of Lima Experience, which is a mix of a cultural tour of Lima with a culinary tour, at the end of July 2024. Being my first time in Peru and not using a travel agency I didn't know what to expect. However, at first sight it offered a better package at a better price than most bigger companies. The experience in itself was very interesting and a pleasant surprise, as basically the tour was made just for me, and it was a perfect mix between cultural stops and food tasting. The guide, Yoced, was very friendly, patient, and offered many local insights as well as historical information, sprinkled with good jokes. He answered all the spontaneous questions about various historical facts, as well as related to local traditions, or various buildings encountered in our route. He even offered information about the current political and economic situation in Peru and how it is seen by the people. You could see he is an experienced professional, and he didn't left any question unanswered. The food tasted was great and could be described more than just snacks as it is enough to leave with the full stomach afterwards.

Amazing time visiting the real Lima!! - I had an amazing experience doing the Lima City Tour with Yoced! I was able to see the authentic Lima that I had not seen as well as get all the history of the city. We tried amazing authentic foods and desserts native to Peru as well as visited local markets. Yoced was very knowledgeable regarding everything! He was a great tour guide. I had a great time!!

Fantastic experience, amazing tours - Everything has been great, organization, planning, communication with Alex excellent at all times and with the rest of the team. The Guide we got for both tour was Edwin and it was excellent, very close, super good treatment and everything very well explained. Also the cool Gandi driver. At all times he was very attentive to us who took us and picked us up from the sites. Lima experience tours are worth 100%

Best option for short stays in Lima - If you are short on time and can do only 1 tour in Lima, this is a great option. I really wanted to explore the food scene in Lima and not only I got covered that option but also learned a lot about the history of the city. I wasnt sure about paying extra for pickup but it was the best decision as the center is really far from were I was staying (Barranco) and the traffic is insane. The driver Gandi was sharp on time for both the pick up and the return trip. The guide John Joseph (?) was very knowlegeable and we walk through so many areas that I wouldnt have been able to explore on my own, specially the market area. Loved the food samples and if I could give a recommensation would be to add a pisco sour stop.
