    Joselyn was a lovely tour guide, very knowledgeable and charming. The tour covers the historic centre and a bohemian neighbourhood - so a good contrast. Catching the public bus was fun. It was a perfect impression of Lima.

    Our tour guide (Yosselyn) was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and was able to customise our tour according to our interests because we booked a private tour. We learned so much and saw everything we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend !

    We had a large group (12). Viator recommended a private car for 130USD. We declined and opted for public transportation as the tour was advertised. Jocelyn met us at our hotel in Miraflores and took us on a bus to Barranco, then on another bus to the city center. We saw the main squares, cathedrals, the presidential palace, and walked down Jiron de la Union (a pedestrian shopping street). She offered good information about the sites, some history, and a glimpse of the contemporary Peruvian political environment. I thought we would be finished in the city center, but she accompanied us back to Miraflores on another bus. I’m not sure how the private car would have been incorporated into a walking tour, but we were pleased with our decision.

    The guide was pleasant but not knowledgeable, and if she was she didn't share it. I have to imagine Peru has a pretty rich history and culture. We did dot hear any of this.We have been on hundreds of walking tours around the world and this one was the worst. No stories, history, or back stories. My wife and I would not recommend this tour at all.

    Great trip, Jorge was really knowledgeable of the area and flexible to change the route. Definitely will recommend it. Riding the local bus system was a nice treat. Especially a packed Metropolitano.

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us many things in the city that we would have otherwise missed. She was also very flexible when it came to rearranging the schedule as some of the sights we had already seen. Highly recommend.
