Today was a phenomenal experience from start to finish! Professional driver (Javier) picked us up from hotel on time in nice car and with great conversation. Guide (Eros) was relaxed but professional and had my wife who thought she wouldn’t do well or have fun... LOVE every moment. What I liked was I have worked a few ski seasons so he made it fun for me who is more advanced as well as teaching my wife. The reviews are all good and I completely see why. I review cruise ship tours weekly and this is a 10/10. Cheers

We had a great walking tour with Carlos! We wanted to learn more about the history of Lima, and he was very knowledgeable, pointing out architectural details we would otherwise have missed. And he was considerate, too\u2014we were late getting to our appointment due to a travel mix-up, but he was waiting for us and there was no stress involved. Highly recommended!

My wife and I were on a cruise that stopped in Lima. We found the cruise ship tours did not really cover Lima well, found Discover Lima and booked with them. The group was in a van with two guides, (we had Andrew and Julio) so each stop was with a small group. The Old City stops were great, and we got to see the Inca Market, The Park of Love, and Miraflores as well, all in one comfortable and we'll explained tour. We could all ask questions and get answers both on the ride and walking portions, due to the small size, and this added greatly to the experience. Everyone on the tour enjoyed the whole experience and were congratulating themselves for having found the tour.

I highly recommend booking a food tour with Lima Tasty Tours! Because of our time constraints, we opted for the shorter version of the market tour and it was really amazing. Our guide Arturo was enthusiastic, charismatic, knowledgeable, and very well-liked amongst the vendors in the market we toured. We spent the most time at a fruit stand sampling the incredible produce or Peru. In addition to his knowledge of Peruvian history and evolution of food, Arturo has traveled quite a bit and drew in references to other cuisines as well. On top of that, we left our phone in Arturo's car, and he personally delivered it back to us at our hotel. First-class service! The tour leaves you completely full, so don't worry about leaving hungry... The only tip is that the big meal is lunch which happens towards the end of the tour. For me, the market snacking was amaaaazing but not quite enough as I had skipped breakfast. So, I recommend a light snack before the tour. Don't hesitate to book with Lima Tasty Tours!
