The information shared was a perfect mix to understand the country's history, culture, and customs in a short time.
Cristian was very willing to answer all our questions and curiosities, and he also shared great tips on places and restaurants to try — which we really appreciated!

Thank you, Cristian, for welcoming us to Lima.

We were just two people, we took the tour in English, and we felt great with him. He showed us the most iconic spots in the city center, gave us great recommendations for places to visit, where to eat, or buy souvenirs, and everything was wonderful.

Fate wanted us not to meet Cristian in Kennedy Square in Miraflores.
From the beginning he was clear with the service provided and values.
We were very happy with the experience generated on this city tour of Lima.
Your time, kindness and, above all, patience are appreciated (when traveling with children and their needs).
The comfort of being able to take a private tour in a fully conditioned vehicle and, above all, with a good driver is also appreciated and the detail of still water in the van is a 7.
I recommend them to anyone who wants to know Lima and above all to be well served by Cristian.

Thank you very much for generating a nice memory.

We did a walking tour of Lima from Miraflores with Cristian and the experience was fantastic. We first met at Parque 7 de Junio and then took the Metropolitan into town. Cristian showed us the main historical buildings of the city and gave us lots of information on the history of Lima and Peru. We were also treated to a tasting of artisanal Pisco. We highly recommend Cristian's services.
