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.

Another great tour by a Tours by Locals guide! Sandra was a wealth of knowledge and helped bring Peru's long history to life in an education and entertainig way.

We spent two day with Sandra recently and she was just great. One cay was the city tour and the second day was the coastal tour. We felt like we saw a lot of Lima and Sandra was a wealth of knowledge about the city and its history. Highly recommended.
Meghan F.United States
Sandra was great. We didn’t have a preference in what we wanted to do so she just took charge and made the decisions asked on our family of four with a 5 and 7 year old. She recognized when the kids needed a break and kept them engaged. When we walked back into our hotel my 7 year old said “that was so fun!”. We learned a lot and saw a lot in a short period of time which was all we could handle. Thanks Sandra!
