When I visit some place new, I like to start with a city highlights tour. This allows me to get a feel of the atea and identify places I’d like to revisit at another time during my stay. For this trip, I was paired with Renzo, and I had a fantastic time! He was young, energetic, and shared his love for the city’s history with passion. It was VERY obvious that he was knowledgeable well beyond what might be typically experienced, and this is what made the tour so much better! He was able to truly dive into the history of the church and brought to life early views on religion in Lima. He spoke about his passion for learning, including learning new languages.
The food tour was really nice - it was just the two of us - and I tasted the BEST ceviche I’ve ever had. He talked passionately about the history of potatoes and other foods specific to the region as well.
If you get Renzo as a guide for this tour, you’re in for an amazing time!
