This tour was okay and fulfilled the sights as described. Our tour guide was nice, but the tour seemed a little disjointed, and while our guide spoke English, it was very difficult to understand, and she had to repeat herself often. This tour took pace in the historical part of Lima, and was almost an hour drive from our hotel in the Barranco District with traffic, which we were not expecting.
