Amazing tour with happy faces - Sophia was amazing! It felt as if we were being shown around town by a family member or friend instead of a tour guide!

Lima great food and people - A great way to discover the city of Lima. The tour takes you to the beautiful Miraflores where you will visit iconic parks as Kennedy park filled with cats, and have great views of the ocean. You will also get to see the city centre and its interesting qnd colorful buildings. Be sure to go and eat at la Rosa Nautica for the best ceviche in Peru and the world. Miraflores is very safe and walkable.

Good introduction to Lima. - This was a good way to get a brief overview of Lima. It is not easy to get around such a busy city with public transportation not convenient. Our tour guide and driver did a great job mainly showing us the historic downtown buildings.

Do not recommend - The tour guide herself was friendly and tried her best, but we experienced several issues that unfortunately make me unable to recommend this tour. First, the company changed the start time from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. by messaging me at 11:30 p.m. the night before. I agreed to the change, and as a concession they agreed to drop us off in Barranco at the end of the tour. The biggest issue was that we spent most of the tour stuck in traffic. As a result, we did not experience much of what was advertised in the tour description. There was no stop at Kennedy Cat Park, no time to enjoy a pisco sour in the Historic Center, and we reached the Love Park extremely late—so late that it was too dark to get photos of the famous kissing statue. We also skipped the olive tree stop in San Isidro entirely. The Pucllana Site Museum is literally a drive by. Added zero to the tour. To make things worse, near the end of the tour they attempted to back out of the agreed-upon drop off in Barranco, claiming the driver had an “emergency” and could only take us halfway. I explained that this felt inappropriate and too coincidental. Only after insisting did they honor the original plan and drop us off where they had promised. To be clear, none of this was the tour guide’s fault. The issue lies with how the tour is organized. The company needs to plan better or avoid offering this route on days when traffic makes it impossible to complete the advertised itinerary
