Chose this trip as it was half the price of Peru hop and didn’t seem to be much difference when looking at reviews. Primarily in Spanish but the guide spoke good English and translated. Really good trip if you have limited time in Lima. Highlight was the pisco tasting, the restaurant was nice and food good with…”
