    Cindy arrived promptly at my hotel and was a perfect guide for my 3.5 hour walking tour. Her knowledge of the City Center and of Peruvian history was very impressive and she expressed her knowledge easily and fluently in English. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her!

    My family and I did the 3.5 hour walking tour of Lima with Eliana, and we had a great experience! Eliana picked us up from our hotel right on time and took us to Central Lima where we spent the majority of the day walking around. I would highly recommend Peruvian Local Friend - it was a great start to our trip in Peru!

    Booking a 3.5 hour walking tour of downtown Lima with Susie at Peruvian Local Friend was a great choice and I had an excellent visit. Susie was knowledgeable about any question I threw at her on history, geography, local culture and perspectives.

    Cindy our guide did a great job showing us the historical center of Lima. My husband is an architect, so was specifically interested in the history of the beautiful buildings. She was knowledgable, very friendly and completely fluent in English
