We visited Miraflores, the Historic Center and Barranco, enjoying public transportation all day long which is excellent in Lima. Modern, fast, neat and user friendly. Mr Lazaro was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. He recommended a great restaurant in the Historic Center where we had Lima's well known seafood. He taught us about history, economy, social issues in Lima etc etc. We highly recommend this private tour!! Worth it!!”
