“Brendon was very knowledgeable and hospitable. It was a pleasure”
Private guided walk through Miraflores, Lima’s Historic Center, San Francisco catacombs, and Barranco with local transport.
“Julio picked me up at my hotel, and we walked around Barranco seeing the key spots: Bridge of Sighs; and Plaza de Armas Barranco. Then we sped into Lima Central on the Metropolitan bus. We walked from Plaza Grau to Plaza San Martin and Plaza de Armas before visiting the catacombs of San Francisco. We then took the Metropolitan bus back to Barranco and he accompanied me to my hotel. The whole time he was friendly, polite, and full of explanations of what we were seeing. Highly recommended and worth the cost.”

Lima City of the Kings walking tour with catacombs, small group and hotel pickup. See Plaza Mayor and San Francisco’s underground.
“This tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Lima for the first time. Whenever I travel to a new city, I make it a point to start with an introductory tour like this to get my bearings and understand the layout of the neighborhoods and local communities. This experience fulfilled that purpose perfectly—but what made it stand out was our guide, Felipe. Admittedly, I was initially unsure about Felipe due to his youthful appearance. I wondered how much insight he could offer. I couldn’t have been more mistaken. Felipe was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Lima’s history and cultural landscape, but also highly attentive to our group’s needs. My…”

“This was a great food tour, led by Adrian, who picked us up from our hotel, on time, and took us to the Barranco District to experience the food and local culture of Lima. We visited four restaurants where we had really delicious local foods, including ceviche and barbecued beef on a stick, and a couple of other dishes that I can’t recall the name of.
