Customer Reviews
Alex was a fantastic guide. He took us through downtown Lima and we learned much about the history of the city. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable. There was even some pisco tasting at the end of the tour! Highly recommend
I was very lucky to have Alex as my guide! He was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond showing and explaining everything for me in English (he also let me practice my Spanish abit which was great and much appreciated!). He told the history of Lima so well and I learnt so much. I would love to do other tours with him in the future, perhaps food tours or something. Highly recommended. Muchas gracias Alex :)
I recently joined a free walking tour in Barranco with our guide, Alex, and had a great time. His dry sense of humor made the tour really enjoyable. Alex shared interesting stories behind the murals and street art in the area, which we definitely wouldn’t have known without him. The tour was informative, well-paced, and a fun way to explore Barranco. Highly recommend it!
