Shanty Town Tour Experience - Very informative. I learned the reason how Shanty town started. Another additional knowledge of the culture and history of Peru. We met a very nice and friendly family and allow us to go inside their house and treat us well, answered our questions about their daily living. Jimmy explained to us on our way while we walk through the local market how it all started. He is an asset to the company.

Lima's Shantytown Tour - This was a very informative tour about Lima's numerous shantytowns--how they came about, what they look like, and visiting one of them. We also visited a school with the friendliest students and a mercado (market). I was the only one on the tour and my driver; tour guide, Jordan; and his assistant, Valeria, were all excellent.
