Great experience - From pick up to drop off this tour was awesome. Kenyi skillfully drove us from site to site in busy traffic.
Walter was a wealth of knowledge explaining the Convent,catacombs,historic downtown and Circuito Magica Del Aqua.Always seeing if we had any questions.
Walter also took pictures for us and video as our phone wasn’t taking good pictures.He forwarded them to us after the tour so we have some great pictures and video.
A fun professional tour we really enjoyed

Great late afternoon/ evening option for Lima - This is a great way to see the catacombs and light show. Although you could see these places more cheaply independently, the combination of a knowledgeable tour guide (we had Susan show us around, she had so much local knowledge… right down to the best photo opportunities) and transport (we had Kenyi drive us around) allows you to get much more out of the experience, whilst feeling very safe.

Thank you Alex (Alexandra)!!! - Amazing experience, and it's all thanks to Alex! She was so friendly and very knowledgeable about Peru and Lima. We learned a lot about the history of Peru, and she also gave us a lot of information as we walked through the historic area of Lima. The Water Magic Circuit was a really cool experience and the bicentennial show was impressive, giving a concise, visual summary of Peru's history. Wonderful evening and it far exceeded my expectations.

OK ish - Guide was great. Just seemed to spend more time in traffic then at the attractions but I suppose that’s just Lima. Catacombs fascinating and fully explained. Water fountains bit of a let down. Just a projected show onto the fountains
