"We had such a wonderful time with Alfredo. He was so knowledgeable and we had the opportunity to see so many different areas of Lima. Highly recommend!"
"The four of us toured Barranco with Alfredo yesterday - mixing street art, historic buildings and sights and a great dose of history.
Alfredo has a deep knowledge of the street art - in-depth on each of the pieces ok history and artist (and tie in to history and culture). We learned a lot throughout.
All of us highly recommend Alfredo - great guide and a fun (and insightful) tour!"
"Alfredo gave us a fantastic tour of Barranco. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us so many things from art galleries and mural’s, to history about the area in general and the many different houses. I would highly recommend the tour and using Alfredo. "

Fantastic tour with Alfredo
"We had a marvelous tour and learned so much! Highly recommend!"
"We had a 5 hours walking tour with Lorena, mostly around historic centre of Lima. From the moment we booked Lorena was very responsive, easy to communicate with and receptive to our request to make our tour about history, street food and a visit to the markets.
During the tour Lorena’s communications skills were very good and she was able to answer all our questions. We particularly enjoyed the food and the produce we found in the market.
We can definitely recommend Lorena as an excellent guide in Lima."
