5.00We made the 2-day excursion to lima departing from the port of callao. Everything absolutely perfect! Professional and very good guides. Available for any information. We shot files far and wide with calm and comfort. The ruins of Pachacamac were an incredible discovery and on the second day the visit to some markets an incredible experience of flavors, colors and smells!. Non-tourist markets in close contact with locals. Thanks for everything Jean Paul, Pamela y Alex!! Thank you PERU! We recommend it to everyone!

5.00Our day 1 guide , RENso is one of the very best guides we have had . He is very articulate and speaks perfect English. The tour under the hot sun to the sanctuary of Pachacamac was quite exhausting but We enjoy his ways of presentation . We also learned the secrets of mysterious catacombs . The light shows at 7.15 pm was a must see . Day 2 tour was an interesting foodie tour .. Ann our guide is sweet and we enjoyed her presentation and also the delicious fruits and Peruvians staple dishes . Chaufa . Peruvian Fried Rice and ceviche .
Glad we took this tour in Lima

5.00The tour guides on both days were knowledgeable about Peruvian culture, history, food. We were impressed with Pachacamac Museum & Archaeologist site. Climbing up the steep hill was a challenge. We enjoyed the exotic local fruits & the dishes. If we weren't on this tour, we won't have tasted so many varieties. The management at Peruvian Windowview kept close contact with us. They were able to make adjustments. Glad we took this tour.
Couldn’t have asked for a better all-encompassing experience

5.00Wonderful 2 days in Lima, with 2 excellent, knowledgeable tour guides, Lucas and Manual. Day one we visited Pachacamac archaeological sight, St. Francis Church and the old city. Day 2 was filled with interesting markets, as well as the Barranco and Miraflores neighborhoods. Excellent tour, highly recommended!

5.00The company was great at communicating with us. We always were informed when, where, and who would meet us. Jose was our driver. Jose was courteous and calm in the crazy Lima traffic. He arrived on or before schedule and stayed with until our bus arrived to return to the port. Manual was our first day guide. We saw so many wonderful sights in Lima. Manual is a wealth of knowledge, friendly, an enjoyable person to spend the day with. Marcos was our second day guide. We loved his friendly outgoing personality while showing us around the markets and tasting delicious foods.
