Tino was a very knowledgeable tour guide whose English was excellent. We were late arriving at the meeting point, but communication from the office was very good.
We visited the two main squares and San Francisco Monastery and their Catacombs. The information provided was interesting and informative, also gave us lots of info on the history of Peru and the local people.
Would highly recommend this tour if you want to see and hear about the history of Lima.

My husband and I were blown away by the tour we received! We were very lucky to have been the only people who booked our day so we received a private tour. We were picked up very punctually from our hotel, and our guide Mario came into the Lobby to receive us. The car was very comfortable and the ride was smooth.
Mario was incredible - he was extremely personable and knowledgeable and clearly has such wonderful pride in his country. He offered us so much historical background to the sites visited.
We drove through the historical district to Plaza San Martín and began walking there. He took us through a gorgeous path through the city and gave us a wealth of knowledge we would have never known otherwise. Mario went into depth on the indigenous history of Peru at Museo Central (Banco Central de Reservation Del Perú), a bank that is converted into a museum.
After this stop we walked to San Francisco Church and the catacombs below. We were so impressed by the descriptions of the symbolism present in the architecture and designs. On the way to Plaza Mayor, Mario took us past the Casa de La Literatura Peruana where we also happened to catch the changing of the guards from the Palacio De Gobierno. We even stopped in a chocolate shop where he took us to taste cacao. In Plaza Mayor we finished our tour surrounded also by the Cathedral de Lima and Palacio Municipal de Lima, as well as a parade with a band and dancers.
Ultimately, the information we received on our tour enhanced every site we saw. Mario was so fun and professional and his energy and respect for the culture of Peru was contagious. We would recommend this tour to anyone who could take it!
