Excellent help from Tourist Information Center
Oct 2019
Nicky and Juan Carlos were working the day we stopped at the Tourist Information Center. We don't speak Spanish and had printed out an email about a reservation we thought we had made at a famous restaurant in Lima. However, the printout didn't seem to be the place we wanted. We had made this reservation online before our trip. These 2 young men spent over 20 minutes on the phone, found that the restaurant had moved and secured a reservation for us that night. We had a fabulous meal at KJOLLE thanks to Nicky an Juan Carlos!

Great support with friendly service!
Oct 2019
Arrived in Lima with little clue as to where I was going and what to do. Axel and Jesus helped me get acclimated to my environment and even helped me find the best place to stay for my needs! From start to finish these guys went out of their way to help with no sales pitch or agenda. They were there truly just to help me have the best experience. So grateful. Definitely stop by; they are bound to help you with something you didn’t know:)

Excellent service and excellent tour guide (Gabriel) - muchas gracias!
Sep 2019
My friends and I joined a free walking tour to Barranco with Gabriel. He is from Barranco himself and had so much knowledge about the area! The whole tour from beginning to end was excellent, we learnt so much within short amount of time and got a lot of insider information on where to eat, listen to live music, etc. After the tour, we went to a restaurant with Gabriel and had the best ceviche! He is a great guide - highly recommended. He also organizes food tours in Lima - you can look him up online (Gabriel Braun)!

Rude behavior after misunderstanding
Feb 2020 • Friends
During our stay there occurred some misunderstandings with a booking. Got some helpful tips at first, that unfortunately didn’t work out. When we came back for more help the manager ended up calling us liars and had no interest of helping us.

Besides this rude behavior they had some helpful tips according to trips and tours.

David was so helpful!
Aug 2019 • Friends
We had a bit of a scare when we realized that our online check in for the next mornings flight required us to print our boarding passes. Without access to a printer, we went to the Tourist Information Centre and David was so kind to help guide us through the online site (which didn't have a great English translation) and printed out our boarding passes all free of charge!

Saved us a lot of time and anxiety 👍

Excellent tours and advice
Apr 2019
The staff are knowledgeable and fluent in English. The center has walking tours leaving each morning for about two plus hours - to either Lima or Barranco. No charge for tours - just tip the guide. I'd already taken a commercial Lima City Tour for $ 40 - so I went on the Barranco tour. Guide was Alejandro - he was friendly and gave an excellent tour - knew the area well and made good recommendations for other Lima activity (e.g., restaurants). Note : to get to Barranco on tour we went on city bus (cost 100 soles = 60 cents) - also walking tour involved going up and down 100+ steps.

Good Advice!
Jan 2019 • Friends
My friend and I were asking about Cusco and how to plan Machu Picchu from there. We spoke to Johann Brandt and he was excellent. He gave us good tips and was very helpful. We were very happy with him. Thank you!

Great Customer Service
Nov 2018 • Couples
We spoke with Johann for advice on our travels around Peru. He was super nice and helpful. He went above and beyond! He helped to plan our trip and gave us great recommendations of places to visit in Lima and the rest of Peru. We have visited a few information centers on our travels, and we wish everyone had been as friendly as Johann!

Perfect help booking Peru Tours
Dec 2019
Had a long conversation with the tour operator. He was very friendly, glad to answer any questions and very patient when I had to decide important financial decisions. Walked me through every option what his experiences were at those places.
