“My teenager and I very much enjoyed our tour with Rubi and Susana. Both guides were very engaging, super knowledgeable and very mindful of our safety and well-being. (It was a hot day, we always stopped in the shade for our history info.) Small group, well worth it as transportation in an air conditioned van was included with a savvy driver. And - we even got to try local treats!”

“Alfredo was an exceptional tour guide and brought us on the most incredible tour. Usually when travelling, we see the best rich areas that are not actually representative of how the locals actually live. This private tour showed us the unfiltered reality for most of the people living outside the rich areas of Lima - all the sights, the sounds, the smells.
