Incredible experience with our guide Kral. He added an extra stop to see Chorillos as we were getting through the designated stops quickly. We stopped at an awesome gelato stop that he had recommended, which counted as our included refreshment. Tour allowed us to get a great first look at Miraflores and Barranco. Both were awesome. Overall this is the best way to see the highlights of the city on the first day. Can’t recommend enough. Our guide Kral was amazing.

Molto bella!!!da fare 1giorno intero

Marvellous bike trip to see the city and the beautiful coastline. Our guide Kral did an excellent job keeping us safe and at a pace we enjoyed. We are older bikers and weren’t sure about booking the trip but we would have missed so much of beautiful Lima. The short video is a memory to treasure Would thoroughly recommend this trip.
