Transportation in Lima (5 transfers in total)
Our groop of five booked all transportation in Lima with Peruvian Local Friends. We are very satisfied with their service. Everything went very smoothly even at the time of the marathon in Lima. All PLF instructions were clear, all PLF drivers were excellent, and cars were very clean and comfortable. Thank you.

Best Guide & Driver, Fun Times
We visited Ica & the San Dunes in Huacachina We had an amazing time on this trip with our guide Diana and driver Janet. They are absolute Rockstars in what they do. Diana was so well educated and even got a degree in being a tourism guide, among other incredible sources of knowledge. Janet was a wonderful driver, caring for our needs and keeping us safe. We had an incredible time with them highly recommend requesting both of them if you can. We went in the bus with just 4 of us and had tons of room, space to lay down when we were tired, and could still hear them. There was air conditioning and they were accommodating of every request. Our recommendation to the travel agency would be schedule the trip differently to be faster to lunch and only one distillery. We did not get to visit the Oasis, so we were disappointed in the timing and not getting what we had purchased. Other than that, Janet and Diana and the entire day was a once in a lifetime experience.

Fantastic Afternoon - the time just flew by
I have just returned from the most amazing walking tour - the time just flew. Cindy was such an amazing guide that when we parted I felt I was saying goodbye to a friend. She is an excellent guide. She is knowledgeable & knows how to present the information in an informative but engaging way. She discussed with me the transport options & I wanted to experience the feel of the City so we took the Metro bus down town. I enjoyed the friendliness of the passengers even though I couldn’t speak Spanish I engaged in a smiling hand moving conversation with a lady who offered me the seat next to her. We then explored the main squares & the adjacent streets & went to a cafe with the most fantastic view of the main square. Cindy bargained with a local street seller & I bought some small gifts to take home. We then took a Taxi to Barranco & I vowed to return to the beautiful bohemian artistic area. The quiet gentile area was a contrast to the hustle & bustle of downtown. I so enjoyed seeing both areas. I wish I was staying longer. An amazing afternoon with a fantastic guide. Highly recommend - especially to solo seniors as Cindy was watchful of uneven steps & cobblestones - I was very well looked after.

Lima with Cindy
Our tour guide, Cindy, was excellent. She spoke in both English and Spanish as we had 1 non-English speaker and 1 non-Spanish speaker. We felt very safe with our driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cindy. She always found an easier way for our handicapped people to get to where we were going. Thanks Cindy!

Great touring experience!
My wife and I recently visited Peru for the holidays with my wife's sister and her husband. We spent time in both Lima and Cusco and we used Peruvian Local Friend to coordinate our entire visit. We had visited Peru back in 2017 and had the good fortune to meet Peruvian Local Friend and we were happy to be able to use their services again. They provided three different tour guides for three different tours that we did with them and all of them - Cindy, Evelyn and Cory - were excellent! So much knowledge and so much information shared! We did a city tour of Lima, Cusco and then Machu Pichu. Everything was great! And not only did they provide the tours for us, they also arranged all of our transportation and transfers. We did not have to worry about a thing! Peruvian Local Friend made our trip easy and informative! It was truly a pleasure to work with them again!!

5 STAR TOUR OF LIMA
I told Sandra at PLF, we wanted to see select sites we hadn’t seen plus Lima from a local’s perspective. Sandra and our guide Rodrigo delivered a 5 star tour for us. We visited places most tourists don’t see. Rodrigo was an oracle of information about Lima and Peru and their relationship in history and the present. If you want a 5 star tour of Lima, call Sandra at PLF and request Rodrigo to be your guide. After contacting Sandra her responses to my many questions were immediate. She also helped with transportation logistics…a lifesaver for a non Spanish speaking client.

Great insight to all of Lima, amazing guide Cindy
We had been on a small group tour of Peru and had a day before our return flight home. I'd booked to be picked up and returned to the airport, and to see Barranco and other areas. The tour was planned to be flexible around us and what we wanted to see. Our driver was Cesar, who was an excellent, careful driver. I've no idea how he keeps so calm driving around Lima every day! We met Cindy in Barranco and started our walking tour. She listened to what we wanted to do and advised us to have lunch there - an amazing spot, Restaurant Javier, overlooking the sea and great seafood. Being our last meal in Peru we were greedy and had lots left but it wasn't too expensive. We explored some more of the area, including a lovely gallery/ craft shop. We then drove above Chirolles to look at the bay of Lima overall and then a wander round the fisherman's area. This was Cindy's home area growing up, and she was evidently proud of it and the friendly people, with no other European tourists in sight. A quick drive past one of the 100 pyramids in Lima with a photo stop (we had no idea they existed from our very limited group tour of the city) then through San Isidro, with a wander through the park. This tour gave us a completely different view from the tour at the start of our Peru trip - it felt like the previous tour had just been to buildings and hadn't given us any feeling for the entire city. Highly recommend the flexible approach of the company in planning our tour and specifically Cindy in delivering such a great experience.

Amazing company who will give you the best personal tour of Lima
Had the most amazing personal walking tour with our guide Cindy. We told her we wanted to know how Peruvian people lived and see the local markets, and that’s exactly what we got, an awesome experience, we will leave Lima with a much better understanding of real life in Peru. Thanks so much 👍

Lima After Noon + Larco Museum tour
We did the Lima After Noon city tour and added a visit to the Larco Museum. It was very easy to communicate and adjust the tour to our liking ahead of time. Our guide, Cindy (with driver Cesar), arrived on time to our hotel to begin the tour. We didn't follow the exact order of sites listed on the website, but Cindy adjusted the order to give us a better experience by avoiding traffic and busy times at certain locations. She was very knowledgeable and easy to spend a day with around Lima. We learned so much about the history of the city. Cindy also provided us with many good suggesting about other things to do and eat after our time together was over. I would highly recommend visiting the Larco Museum with a guide like Cindy; she was able to tell us the stories of many of the pieces, where on our own we would have tired out halfway through reading placards. Whenever we return to Lima, Peruvian Local Friend will certainly be used to tour more in and around town.

Review of Lima City Afternoon Tour + Larco Museum
Lima City Afternoon Tour + Larco Museum Arrived right on time, very friendly and welcoming. We had a nice tour, just like described on the website, and the company was flexible to add in the museum for us too. Cindy was very knowledgeable and helpful, gladly answered all of our questions. Cesar was a great driver, I felt safe! We really enjoyed our day with Cindy and Cesar!
