"We did the 7 hour Full Lima City Tour with Alfredo and WOW WAS IT FANTASTIC. Alfredo's knowledge of the Peruvian Culture, History and Religion was like listening to a college level professor level. Alfredo was a delight to tour with and had an explanation for any thing asked. He was very flexible with adjusting our tour to fit our goals. We highly recommend signing up with Alfredo. Ciao - Kevin and Jack"
"We had a wonderful time in Barranco with Richard. It was like making a new friend who knew all the local sites and history. We went to art galleries, a coffee shop, roamed the streets and even had lunch together after the tour!! Then he took us to one of the best bars in the world. No joke. If you’re into surfing and or music…..even better. Thank you Richard for a wonderful tour of Barranco!! "
"We loved our walking tour with Alfredo! He was very knowledable about tge country and the community. He showed us many murals and knew details of the artists and the subjects of the art. He answered questions about architecture and trees. It was wonderful. I would recommend him."
"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.
