We had a wonderful tour seeing the sites of Lima and surrounds. One day we had a half day tour of the downtown area, and the second day we had a tour of Pachacarmac and Barranco and Miraflores. Our guide was Andy, and the driver Oscar both days. Andy’s English skills are exceptional, and he was sensitive to our needs (including going above and beyond in helping us find the place with the best rates to change money and getting us to the place to go that had a piece of jewelry we wanted. Andy’s knowledge of history was very good, and as my husband and I both want to know about the history of the area he made sure our questions were answered. Andy and Oscar were on time, and I am so glad we arranged a private tour, as we could spend extra time at Pachacarmac (as we requested) and really take in the history of this amazing site. We wanted lunch at a place the locals like, and not a touristy hotel. Did Andy ever deliver. We ate at an open air market and were the only tourists there. The food was AMAZING.
