Catacombs and Churros! - This half day tour gave us a great overview of the history of Lima and the influence of the Spaniards and catholic missionaries. We enjoyed the architecture and history of the downtown area. There were very interesting street performers. It's a bustling thriving area. The convent and catacombs were very interesting (if a little bit creepy.) Our guide Silvana was very knowledgable and funny. She answered questions about the history and culture of the city. Then she treated us to churros!

Great tour! - Totally recommend this tour if you want to see a little bit of Lima and to know more about local culture and architecture. Our tour guides were super fun and cool! The group is small and feels more private.
