Good service (attention, transportation, food etc), the nicest communication and super memorable locations/activities. The excursion is a MUST when in Lima. The little things I didn’t think I would enjoy - I DID, like pisco tasting in the end of the day. Thank you so much Lion!

My friend and I booked this trip without really knowing what to expect. We were blown away! Our guide Carlos guided us through narrow roads, with the most amazing and frightning scenarie, to the top of Marcahuasi. Upthere we hiked 8 miles and saw a lot of stunning sides of the nature. Carlos was funny and spoke beautiful english. The trip would not have been the same with another guide!

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!

Just had an amazing morning with Lucas who led this tour just for me! We went to the swamp area as well as the seaside, where we must have seen 30 or 40 species of birds in total, pelicans, flamingos, herons, flycatcher and more. Lucas was very friendly and knowledgable. He had bird ID charts and bird call app but no binoculars. The visit was not far out of Lima and it was lovely too to be out of the hustle and bustle of the city.
