Finally, we will have free tastings , from which you can try different varieties of Peruvian Pisco and its multiple presentations; Pisco Sour classes are optional, which is why the visitor will be asked if they want to taste it or not.

Fue en extremo decepcionante esta experiencia. El guía se mostró amable y dispuesto de ayudar, y en principio dijo algunos datos históricos importantes sobre los lugares que recorrimos. Sin embargo, no existía hilo conductor claro, parecían solo datos arquitectónicos y poco sobre cómo seguir la historia de la ciudad y monumentos. Lo más decepcionante fue cuando final del tour nos llevaron a probar Pisco y se aprovecharon de nosotros. En la tienda que nos llevó nos cobraron precios en extremo inflados sobre los productos, algo de lo que nos dimos cuenta más tarde. El fue cómplice se todo esto.

Llegamos 10 minutos antes al lugar de encuentro, como estaba pautado, y el guia llegó tarde. Es un tour de dos horas, pero la mitad es en lugares comerciales queriendo vender diferentes productos. Poca información, pocos datos interesantes. Lima tiene mucho más para conocer y aprender.
