Highly recommend Lima Mentor for tours. - We had a wonderful tour seeing the sites of Lima and surrounds. One day we had a half day tour of the downtown area, and the second day we had a tour of Pachacarmac and Barranco and Miraflores. Our guide was Andy, and the driver Oscar both days. Andy’s English skills are exceptional, and he was sensitive to our needs (including going above and beyond in helping us find the place with the best rates to change money and getting us to the place to go that had a piece of jewelry we wanted. Andy’s knowledge of history was very good, and as my husband and I both want to know about the history of the area he made sure our questions were answered. Andy and Oscar were on time, and I am so glad we arranged a private tour, as we could spend extra time at Pachacarmac (as we requested) and really take in the history of this amazing site. We wanted lunch at a place the locals like, and not a touristy hotel. Did Andy ever deliver. We ate at an open air market and were the only tourists there. The food was AMAZING.

One afternoon in Lima and the Larco Museum must see sights - Andreas(Andy) our guide was very professional and knowledgeable with helpful details and insights that made this one of the most enjoyable tours for us. Oscar the driver was on time and kept us safe in a mad house of traffic. He also went beyond by helping us out of the vehicle with a genuine warm smile This guys worked as a team and treated us like family. Thank you the wonderful day in Lima.

A perfect visit - The view of Lima’s must-see places for small groups, turned out to be for myself, which surprised me, with my guide Lucas and driver Roberto, made my visit the most pleasant and interesting, Lucas great knowledgeable of the history of the city and Roberto for his kindness and education. I definitely recommend this agency to visit Peru.

Perfect Short Tour of Lima! - My husband and I finished up a 2 1/2 week Galápagos/Machu Picchu trip with a couple of days in Lima. We wanted to take a quick highlight tour of the city and, after reading several reviews, decided to try Lima Mentor’s Must-See Landmarks Tour. We were picked up by our guide Martha in our hotel lobby at the time arranged. She had a van and driver waiting outside. There was one other couple on our tour who were very nice. Martha did an excellent job educating us on the historical and cultural aspects of Lima. We began at the impressive Larco Museum and then went into the historic downtown area. She was awesome and we enjoyed the tour!!! Money well spent.

Top agency in Lima - We made 4 tours with Mentor and all were wonderful, we did: show of the waters, Historic Center, Larco and Anthropological Museum and Barranco. We chose a private tour because we were a group of 8 people. We made all programming well in advance by email with Cynthia Cárcere who gave us all the attention and was always ready to remove any doubts and meet our needs. Our guide was David who besides speaking Portuguese is very kind and a great acquaintance of the places visited. The van was very comfortable and the staff always super punctual. I recommend Mentor for those who want to travel to Lima with confidence, professional staff, reliable and with a lot of quality.

Great experience, recommendable to everyone - Andrea was knowledgeable and friendly! You could tell she loved her city and sharing it with visitors. She knew the best local spots to recommend and gave us the best information on all the stops we made during the tour.

Very Thorough Tour of Lima - Lima Mentor was excellent in every way. Great response from Cynthia as I was coordinating a couple of days for two senior citizens from US. Ada (guide) and Raul (driver) were very knowledgeable and kept us moving. Plus, they had great sense of humors! PS - They coordinated our trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu as well and it went off very well.
