    “An amazing half day tour! Everything about this tour was perfect and smooth. Julio was our guide and he was informative, funny, and personable. You see a lot of the main sights in downtown Lima for about 3.5 hours. The pickup and drop off from the hotel in Miraflores was on time and much appreciated.”
