A wonderful spotlight of some fun fun highlights in Lima. - Really enjoyed the entire morning- a great way to get a little taste of Lima and helped me see some things easily that were “further afield”. The catacombs especially were a unique experience- although the market was amazing!

Disappointed - Only reason given a 3 was tour hour was changed to 3:45?instead of 2pm ad due to the time mot able to visit the Plaza San Martin nor Plaza Mayir as scheduled. Enrique tour guide was awesome very knowledgeable and was trying his best to get us in not his fault but the tour company should haven’t move hours or Gould have cancelled. We got to go to water fountain park instead of Mercado to wish we say yes but not able to see two of the atracciones as advertised is a NO
