| I put together a group of 8 people from our ship for this tour. Called the 3 couples the evening before with time and place but in the morning there were only 6 of us. After checking the ship and calling their room, we finally went on without them. They later called tours office, who called Aaron. He sent his brother back to the ship to get them, dealt with their anger so well that by the end of the day, they were thanking me for such a GREAT tour. Thanks Aaron! |

| Aaron was excellent. We covered all of our special requests in spite of heavy traffic and a late start (our fault - not his) A walk thru the local supermarket with his comments identifying unknown fruits and vegetables was special and fun. His Mother's Kitchen was as good as previous reviewers had said and his Pisco Sour was excellent. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks soooo much for your words... it was really my pleasure to meet you all... and have the wonderful time in Lima... i am so glad you enjoy everything and got surprise and delight the culinary part of our tour.
Big hugs from Peru

| Aaron met us outside the port at Callao, with his driver Johnny, in a very clean and comfortable vehicle. His pleasant and enthusiastic manner made our tour most enjoyable.The highlight of our tour was a visit to his home where he made the traditional drink "Pisco sour" for us, and meeting his mother,Dalma", who cooked us a delicious traditional meal. She prepared part of the meal in her pristine kitchen with us looking on. A great experience! We would love to revisit! |

| Aaron was an excellent guide, meeting us promptly at the designated spot & then showing us the key sights in Lima in a very comfortable car (his brother was the driver), with stops where we got out to experience the different neighborhoods with short walks. His explanations were very informative & you could tell that he had a pride in his people & his country. We particularly enjoyed the warm hospitality with his family & the delicious lunch of Peruvian food. We are so glad to have chosen this tour! |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: :) i am soooo happy that you enjoy everything... i did enjoy meeting your too.
Greetings from Peru

| Aaron customized our tour to meet all our objective. His suggestion and explanations of places visited were very good. The private lunch was our best local meal in Peru. In museums sometimes had to ask for more information from him, but the knowledge was there. Overall a very good tour experience. Tom |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks so much, i had a great time showing Lima to you all. |

| AAron was a spectacular tour guide. His knowledge of the city filled us with facts and stories that were both interesting and fun. His warmth made us feel very comfortable. The lunch in his mother's kitchen was an added bonus and our party of 7 felt like we were part of the family. I would highly recommend Aaron as a tour guide. We have used tour guides all over the world and he was one of the best. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I had a great day... i was so glad that you knew about cebiche and you enjoy it.... my mother was so happy to have you at home and offer you the best of our gastronomy.... thanks for let me show you my city. |

| Aaron and his friends/family were spectacular! We had a long layover in Lima and were given a tour of the city. We were a group of 8 who felt we were treated like royalty and received an excellent history lesson. I would recommend him to anyone. The dinner provided was cooked by his mother and absolutely delicious! |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I was so happy to have you here in my house and you enjoy our food and history
Thanks

| With less than a full day in Lima, being met at the airport for a guided tour was perfect. And enjoying a Peruvian meal prepared by the guide's mother was a delight. Later that evening, we felt comfortable enough walking through the club area of Miraflores area - finding a jazz club for a drink to celebrate our final evening before our return home early the next morning. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I enjoy very much to show you Lima... it was a pleasure to meet you guys.
Thanks

| Our tour with Aaron was the perfect introduction to Lima. Not only did we see many of the principal sights, but also got more of the personal touch, visiting a supermarket and a shop selling works produced by local artists for example. And the delightful finish was the meal prepared by Aaron's mother at their home. We were on a cruise and our fellow passengers were very jealous. Many thanks Aaron. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was a pleasure for me to show you my city and my mother is delight that people enjoy her food. Thanks |

| Aaron was great. He met us at the airport on time. We were able to see Downtown Lima (Main Square) where we had some ice cream. We were able to see Lover's park in Miraflores district. We also saw the Magical fountains (amazing). Our tour ended at Aaron's home where we had Ceviche and Solberito prepared by Aaron's mother. Unfortunately, we were not able to do some of the things on our itinerary due to the crazy horrendous Lima Traffic. Thanks Aaron! |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: You were such a nice couple... yes... the traffic was so bad that day...
I will let my mom know that you enjoy the food.
Thanks so much for let me show you my city

| One of the very best tours and tour guides we have had with Tours By Locals. Aaron worked with us via email and the day was outstanding. We had a group of 6. When planning your tour, ask him about some of the hidden jewels of Lima that most tourists don't see. |

| This was a great experience. He is a great guide, his knowledge of Peru's history, architecture, art and culture are awesome. He is perfectly biligual, professionnal, friendly, welcoming, nice and flexible. His tour goes beyond a tourist tour, je shares his love for his country. With the lunch at his home, visiting a super market, taking the public transportation, walking in the streets, he gave me a good understanding of the daily life in Lima. This was the best way to discover Lima. Thank you much Aaron |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks so much ... i enjoy to show you Lima my delicious gastronomy. |
