The level of knowledge was impressive. Our guide was also a good story teller, and had a way to include everyone in the group. This is a must if you visit Lima.
José was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Lima, which was really informative. I would highly recommend this company and tour to anyone visiting Lima!
“The first time I tried this company, I was hooked. Everything was so fabulous and easy. I’ll never go back to anyone else.”
