5.00This tour was phenomenal, Johnny spoke excellent English and was very thorough in the information provided. He was patient and interacted well with our eleven year old kids. We learned so much and enjoyed our time together exploring the history of Lima, including the catacomb.
Excellent tour in Lima!

5.00The tour guide Jhonny knew exactly what he was doing. No time wasted. In a very short time I knew about the history of Lima. If he was my history teacher I could have passed the exams with flying colours. Thank you Jhonny.
