The guide was very enthusiastic and showed a lot of things. For me it was a bit overwhelming though because I was the only one in the group and the tour took about 5 hours, in which the guide constantly kept talking and giving information to me. At some point I couldn’t absorb any more and I was just a bit tired. Also I expected the tour to be more food oriented than it turned out to be. We visited a couple of places but I don’t have the feeling I can grasp the food culture of Lima now.

Tuve una experiencia excelente con Víctor! Probé comida y café local, conocí a sitios escondidos donde solamente los locales van, y aprendí mucha historia sobre Lima en el transcurso del tour. Era como un tour gastronómico y histórico combinado! Víctor pasó casi 7 horas conmigo, algo que aprecio mucho. Nunca se sentía afán ni presión, era como pasar el día con un amigo. Gracias por lo que estás haciendo Victor, y por haber compartido tu amor a la gastronomía peruana conmigo. 10/10!

We, myself and my wife spent all day with Victor. It was very informative and very interesting day. Victor very knowledgeable and nice person. We saw a lot of hidden gems of Lima that only can be known by locals. In addition, we tried fabulous Peruvian food which we would not be able to find without Victor. We highly recommend Victor to anyone who want to have an unforgettable experience in Lima.
