Best Of Lima - This was a tour through the city trying many different foods. Giovana led us through the streets stopping to try various foods and gave us a lot of information about the city history and present day life in Lima. It was very informative and she made the tour enjoyable with her spirited stories. Arturo then took us to the Plaza to show us around and then we explored the San Francisco Cathedral and the catacombs below. We really enjoyed this tour. Thank you so much!

Gastronomy and Lima history with an exceptional guide - We did this tour with Gustavo and it was a highly recommended experience. From the beginning he showed interest in our origin and maintained a close treatment. We tasted a variety of typical dishes — choclo, stuffed potato, ceviche, dumplings, lucuma smoothie, anticucho, picarones and local fruits — while telling us the story and curiosities of each. After the gastronomic part we visited the Plaza de Armas and the Catacombs of San Francisco, an impressive place for its ancient library and the human remains that it houses. The tour was enjoyable and with many opportunities to interact and learn.
