Traveler reviews
Not worth a penny!
It was not interesting at all. Suzanne was just focused on giving her speel. She didn't suggest or ask us if we had any questions. And, when I had a question I had to interrupt her to ask. She seemed irritated with questions. And, to top off a waste of money, I left my jacket in the van, tried for 2 days to recover it...no luck! BTW, this was a private tour, just the 4 of us. Either Suzanne, Claudio M. (the driver) or who owns the van has my jacket. Shame on them!
Negative
We were never able to enter the center. They made us walk km trying to get in. They should have foreseen that the presidential inauguration was taking place. They never told us to change our option or do the tour another day. And for the transfer to the airport we arrived 1 hour late. They also didn't anticipate the rush hour traffic to the location. The arrival and transfer to the hotel were good.
Excellent tour in Lima historical center
Janet was very knowledgeable guide. The tour was well organized. We learned a lot about Lima and Peru history and architecture.
Circuit through Peru.
An excellent trip; we spent 15 days on a circuit. The guides and drivers were fabulous. We did not have any setbacks. We followed the program to the letter. A very good experience. Highly recommended.
I exceed my expectations
