A great tour through Lima - We took this tour with the guide Samida. She was very professional and knowledgeable. She took us through the city center and we ended with a pisco sour stop. We learned a lot and got to see interesting places. Would really recommend this tour!

LIMA Free Walking Tour - It was nice and entertaining experience. Our guide was Samira and sIe explained everything in Spanish and English. I found the catacombs particularly interesting and the pisco tasting at the end was very funny. We were a small group of 7 people. It is a great way to learn about the history of Peru and Lima. I can recommend the tour.

Very complete tour, highly recommended - My friend and I did a walking tour of downtown Lima with Samira today, and we loved it! The guide has a lot of knowledge about the city and has explained many things not only about history but also about food and Peruvian culture. The Pisco tasting in the end is top. Fully recommended. Thank you Samira ❤️
