"We had a wonderful city tour of Lima with Alfredo yesterday. He meet us promptly at the meeting spot and for three hours filled the time with knowledgeable and interesting information of the city, showing us beautiful buildings and interesting architecture throughout the tour. Alfredo was very friendly. We had a great time. "
"Alfredo is passioned by Peruvian culture and he can show that. He showed us the center of Lima and told us about its history. When going back to the hotel, he helped us with the taxi ride because we didn't have paper money and we didn't know taxis didn't accept credit card. He is a very kind guy."
"We totally enjoyed our tour with Lorena. Being able to wander through the town with a local who gave us background and information on so many different things was incredibly helpful. In addition, she is a delightful personality and was fun to be with. It truly made our one day visit to Lima a memorable time. So grateful we met her.
"
"We had a fantastic 1/2 day with Lorena. My daughter wanted it in Spanish as a way to practice and Lorena was super accommodating. We also had the tour on Easter and the city was crazy. Lorena was able to manage this and keep us together. 10 out 10! Would use her again. Thanks!!"
"We had a wonderful walking food tour of Lima with our fantastic guide, Lorena! She was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about Peruvian cuisine and culture. Each stop offered something new and delicious. It was the perfect way to experience the heart (and flavor!) of Lima. Highly recommend!"
"The title says it all. I cannot begin to even find the words on how amazing my tour was. The stories, the in-depth knowledge, The passion…

Great overview of Lima
" We had a 10 hour layover at the Lima airport and thought it would be fun to see the city of Lima instead of sitting at the airport all day. Alfredo was kind enough to arrange for us to be picked up and dropped off at the airport which was a big plus. We enjoyed seeing the city of Lima through Alfredo's eyes. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out things we never would have noticed. His English was very good and easy to understand. If planning to go to Lima, we would definitely steer you his way. Thanks Alfredo for a great day!"
