Jorge is knowledgeable. I did the tour with my family. My little kids enjoyed walking around. The weather wasn’t clear skies so we did enjoy taking pictures as much we would have loved to in Lima.

This walk covers more territory, and gets into more details about the history of the city and the nation, than most other "free walking tours" I've taken in other cities in South America and in Europe.
