Great tour of Lima! - This tour was absolutely amazing! This is in large part due to Nico the tour guide. I had a million questions and Nico was very knowledgable and friendly throughout the tour. We started the tour in a nice, clean and air conditioned vehicle that was driven by an excellent driver; Oscar. We started the tour to the temple of Pachamac were we saw Alpacas (not always guaranteed!) and were able to learn a lot about Peru's pre-colonial history and culture. Nico cares a lot about his profession and is extremely knowledgeable of all the sites we visited. Then, we stopped at a nice spot in Barranco for a meal. Nico gave us excellent reccomendations and we loved our meals. We also saw a lot of Barranco's culture through historic landmarks and art; something we passed by all the time and had no idea of the importance until our knowledgeable guide explained this to us. Afterwards, we went to the old city center to visit the catacombs and were able to get a very nice tour of the catacombs which were rich with history. Finally, finishing off the tour we got to see the water-circuit tour in Miraflores. This was well worth the money and with Nico as your guide youre in the best hands. This tour and in particular in Nico made our trip to Peru that much better. Would highly recommend 11/10!

Fantastic Tour of Lima! - I had the most amazing time with LemonLime Tours! My guide Nicolas was excellent; he was knowledgable of the many different locations we visited, spoke perfect english, passionate to share the interesting history of his city, and provided even went out of his way to provide drinks and food for the walks and hot day. It felt more like spending the afternoon with a friend than following around a guide, and made my time in Lima very memorable! All the best Nicolas :)

Great guided walk learning about past & present Lima - This tour was a wonderful experience with Nicolas. I learned so much on my first day in Lima because of all of his knowledge on history & architecture. It was a great walk through some beautiful character filled streets in downtown as well as some stops to along the way to downtown.

Highly recommended city tour - Nicolás was an amazing tour guide and exceeded all our expectations. He offers tours in Spanish and English. He was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable in not only the specific areas we visited but also the broader history of Peru. We felt extremely safe throughout the tour and logistically everything went smoothly. He shared lots of tips and plenty of recommendations (local cuisine, restaurants, and bars) for us to enjoy the rest of our trip in Lima. Thank you, Nicolás for sharing a piece of your culture with us!
