The tour was perfectly organized. The pick up was right on time and the vehicle was very comfortable. We visited 3 different markets and the tour guide Jonathan was very well informed. His spoken English is on a very good level so on top of a lovely day with delicious food I also learned a lot :) He was also very flexible so I booked directly after the first tour a visit to the Larco Museum. Thank you Jonathan!

We booked our city tour with Bite Peru on the recommendation of our tour operator. And to our surprise my wife and I got a personalized tour of the city by the company owner Rueben. He is an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. We did a walking tour the old city, got a good historical overview of Peru and Lima, insights into Peruvian life and culture and he answered all of our questions. He has an excellent command of English. It felt like our best friend was taking us on a trip through his home town. The highlight was our introduction to Pisco Sour and a couple of delicious Peruvian dishes. We highly recommend Bite Peru.

It is possible to trek into the site, but for most people the train is the option. The trip is about an hour and one half and is wonderful. There is so much to see on the trip that you would like the train tp go slower! For most of the ride, the river will be in clear view, but the mountain views are really spectacular.
