Fantastic half day in Lima - We had a great day thanks to Sandy and Ernesto.
They arrived on time, they were both very professional and pleasant. Sandy provided a wealth of information about Lima and answered all our questions. We did not feel rushed and we enjoyed the pace. She even provided excellent recommendations for restaurants. Ernesto was a good driver and we felt well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Gracias ☺️

Great overview of neighborhoods - In a short time, we were able to cover some very nice spots in lemon neighborhoods that we would have never seen otherwise. The guide, Sandy, was very interesting, and made the tour fun.

A mandatory in Lima - A super interesting tour. A super comfortable way to see all the neighborhoods of Lima that you have to see, they take you with the private van in a super small group and explain all the beautiful places in the area. Sandy is super nice and makes the tour super enjoyable and interesting. It also helps a lot with tips for your stay in Peru. I recommend 100%.

Highly recommended tour in Lima! - I use a lot of tours with a guide all over the world. Alexandra is the best tour guide I have ever had. She is very friendly, kind and has excellent conversation skills. Her attention to details is impeccable. She is the only tour guide with whom I honestly retained all the information that she shared. I wish I had more trips with her is Peru. Jimmy - our driver was very good and a safe driver. The tour itinerary is good. We were not rushed, had ample time to see places and have questions. It was small group of 5 which was amazing!

Wonderful introduction to Lima and Peru. - Lima Highlights Tours provided an exceptional full day tour of Lima. We were short on time and this tour hit the main areas to see. Our guide, Martin, was professional and very knowledgeable about Lima and Peru. A great way to get introduced to Lima and Peru. A van picked us up and dropped us off at your hotel, which was nice as Lima's traffic is hectic.

Excellent tour - The tour was truly enjoyable and very well organized. Jonathan was extremely professional and competent, while Susan was kind, empathetic, and incredibly well-prepared. They really did everything they could for us, also speaking more than one language. I'm quite sure that not much more could have been done in a single day.

Great way to see the best of Lima in a day - It was a great day out with Jonathan. In the morning we explored the love park, strolled through the art filled Barranco area and Olive Park, and then learned about Huaca pucllana. I was then dropped back at my hotel to refresh and have some lunch. Then in the afternoon I was picked up again and we explored Plazas in the old city area and visited the catacombs. A perfect way to check out the best parts of the city.
