"We had a lovely time with Lorena. She is so easy to talk to it felt like we were walking around with a friend. She happily accepted our very last-minute booking which we appreciated. As a native, she knows so much about Lima, and you can tell she really loves the city. At the end of the tour, she even took us to the perfect spot to catch an Uber and made sure we were going to be picked up soon before heading her own way. "
"What a great way to spend our first afternoon in Lima, a walking tour of the Barranco neighborhood with Alfredo. He was very informative and we learnt a lot about the people, history and architecture of this amazing area.
Thoroughly recommend this tour."
"Alfredo was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour cover architecture, political and cultural history, contemporary Peru as well as religion and a local market. A great way to get a feel for Lima past and present. Well done. "
"We had an incredible 3+ hour walking tour of historic Lima with Alfredo, and it exceeded all expectations. He took us well beyond the main sights to out-of-the-way corners of the old city, weaving in fascinating stories at every stop. His knowledge of the different architectural periods brought the neighborhood’s history to life in a way we never would have grasped on our own.
Alfredo’s passion for Lima was infectious, and he even surprised us with fun little souvenirs to help us remember the places we visited, a thoughtful touch that made the tour even more special. If you’re looking for a guide who genuinely knows and loves this city, Alfredo is the one to book. Highly recommend!"
"We had great experience with Sandra. She gave a tour of Central Lima for us and our 7 year-old. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. She answered all of our questions with detail and enthusiasm. In addition to the historical information, she also discussed the current political climate. It was all very interesting. We would definitely recommend Sandra, especially to anyone traveling with young children."
"I’m so grateful to Alfredo for sharing his beautiful city with me! We took a three-hour stroll around Lima’s historic center and took an added adventure to Miraflores! It’s clear that Alfredo is passionate about architecture, design, and history - he’s a born teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from him! I’d sign up for another tour in a heartbeat. This was the perfect way to end my trip to Peru!"
"We had a few hours to spend learning about Lima. Lorena sent us suggestions of what we could do with our time. She was patient with us as we sorted out our plans in Lima. Lorena was authentic, genuine, honest with us no matter the question or situation. She is tremendous and would highly recommend her."
