Driver and guide are very...
Driver and guide are very attentive and helpful ( Jose and Alex). The sites are so beautiful and I learned a lot about the Incans.
Excellent short day tour
We had a great tour with Gabriel and our driver Fernando. They picked us up at our hotel and we got to walk around the historic city centre, enter the Cathedral and the Convent. We also got to walk around Love Park. Gabriel was full of facts, sharing lots of information about the country, Lima, buildings, the history, and more! Overall if you are looking for a short tour of the historic city centre, this is a great option!! Would definitely recommend for anyone.
Wonderful way to see Lima
Our guide, Janet, was wonderful. She provided us with a wonderful understanding of the history of Lima and Peru along with how that history shows itself in their modern culture. She was very patient in answering our many, many questions. 10/10 highly recommend!
Not worth a penny!
It was not interesting at all. Suzanne was just focused on giving her speel. She didn't suggest or ask us if we had any questions. And, when I had a question I had to interrupt her to ask. She seemed irritated with questions. And, to top off a waste of money, I left my jacket in the van, tried for 2 days to recover it...no luck! BTW, this was a private tour, just the 4 of us. Either Suzanne, Claudio M. (the driver) or who owns the van has my jacket. Shame on them!
