Great introduction to Lima and Peruvian culture - We are a party of 8 traveling and cruising together. We selected the full day Lima tour with pickup at Callao Port. Our Guide Pamela and driver met us at the port entrance (we had to take a shuttle from the ship to the entrance) right on time at 10:00am. From there we drive to the Pachacamac ruins for a very informative tour of the ancient site. Pamela was super knowledgeable about the history of the site. From there we drove back to Lima city for lunch at a Peruvian restaurant (included in the price). By this time Lima traffic was hitting its stride and was terrible. After lunch we did a walking tour of Lima square including the catacombs underneath the Catholic Church. We ended our evening at the Lima water park where we busted all the fountains and saw the famous water light show. This was a great way to see Lima in a day and to experience firsthand the Lima traffic! After the light show we were driven back to the port entrance. Since the port area is not considered a place to hang around on the street, we asked Pamela if we could wait in the van until the cruise shuttle arrived. She said yes, but when we got to the port there was a shuttle waiting so we didn’t need to sit in the tour van. She and our driver were very accommodating in this regard. Overall a very good tour with a professional and highly knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend this tour especially for cruise travelers.

We learned so much - We did two tours, top 5 things to see in Lima and Pachacamac and the Pyramids. The tours were organized by Jean Paul and our guide, Manuel. These two tours were some of the very best we have experienced in our travels around the world. Manuel is so knowledgeable and passionate about his country Peru and the evolution of is cultures and civilizations. We learned so much from him and the sites are so inspiring, interesting and scenic. These tours are awe-inspiring, well paced and so informative. Manuel was fantastic!!

Wonderful company - I would give 10 stars to this company if I could. We booked a shore excursion in Lima with Mr Grillo and couldn’t have been more pleased. The shuttle arranged by the port was extremely confusing but Peruvian Tours was wonderful! They quickly changed the pick up to accommodate the ship’s drop off. The communication was wonderful. Our guide, Pamela, and driver were the best. Pamela is a professional tour guide whose training and knowledge were wonderful. We spent the day immersed in the highlights of Lima and covered a lot. The day was long but well paced and the fountain show at the end was a memory we will carry for a long time. Don’t hesitate to book with this company, they are tremendous.

Full day Lima with Peruvian Worldviews - Lucas was a phenomenal and knowledgeable tour guide. We saw and learned so much about Lima and the culture of Peru. We experienced the Pachacaman ruins, a city tour which included the catacombs of the cathedral of San Francisco, a Peruvian meal, and the park of the Reserve with a magic water show. We would highly recommend this tour to those who wish to experience the highlights of Lima.

Great sights, but adequate tour - The sights of Lima were fascinating! Our driver Cristian was great. However, the lunch was definitely sub-standard. Though our guide Luca was very knowledgeable, he was not really in tune to our older group's physical needs and interests. Apparently none of us had been made aware from the tour description of the amount of walking required.
