Hi! I am Sandra, and I'm  a local guide who has been taking travelers on sightseeing tours of Lima, Peru, since 2001. I love my job! What makes my job so special, you ask? Well, first of all, I like the history of my country. We are blessed with such a rich heritage and fantastic history; I couldn't ask for a better story to tell! I love guiding because it gives me a very special feeling when I help people learn new things about Peru. Witnessing travelers' combination of amazement, excitement, and happiness is a constant reminder of why my job is so amazing. I also love meeting new people, and hearing about their stories while I share mine. Meeting people from all over the world is another one of the perks that I get out of being a sightseeing guide. My tours are flexible, and open to customization. Please feel free to contact me to discuss. Let me take you on a tour of my city. Let me make your traveling easy. Don't waste your time trying to figure the city out, I've already done that for you! I want to show you the meaning of "limeños, " and why we are so proud of being "Peruvians!" Official Tour Guide Licensed by Lima City. I am not a driver. I arrange for a separate car and driver on my tours in order to give you my full undivided attention.

Overview of your Lima tour

I love what I do and I want to share expereinces with you showing you the hidden gems of Lima. Where is the oldest house in Lima downtown? Do you want to see it? During the tour we can do stops to try some local food, peruvian coffee, a local sandwich or maybe do you want to try Pisco Sour at the bar where it was created (yep I know that place). This tour is for you!!!

Sandra was a wonderful guide and her private tour of Lima gave us the perfect introduction to the city and its history. The unexpected highlight for me was our visit to Pucllana, made all the more special by Sandra’s knowledge and passion for this little known archaeological site where she previously worked as a guide.

Very enjoyable and guide was very flexible. Great to have a driver as well as Lima traffic can be "special" at times

Sandra was delightful! She was prompt and eager to please us any way she could! We opted for a more relaxed tour and visited a market, the ruins near Miraflores and views of beaches as well as stops in a couple popular neighborhoods in Lima. We learned so much and had a great, fun day! We have always had luck using Tours by Locals and Sandra was excellent! We highly recommend her.

Sandra was great! Very good English, she knows her city inside out and is very knowledgeable when it comes to its history and current day issues. She picked us up promptly at the hotel and was dropped back at 3pm. The Huaca Pucllana Pre-Inca site built 900 years before Machu Picchu is well worth a visit. If you are looking for a great Lima Guide you will not be disappointed with Sandra. Also a big thank you to Viktor our brilliant driver, brilliant driving. Nerves of steel🫣
