Summary:
Our city tour with Silvia was the perfect introduction to Lima! It was exactly what we expected: well-organized, insightful, and thoroughly enjoyable. Silvia is a wonderful guide—friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. We came away with a lot of valuable information about the city's history and culture that we would have missed on our own. Highly recommended!
