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.

A wonderful way to explore Lima first time in leisure with Sandra. She took us to the Olive tree park, the Grand Hotel Bolivar, the oldest hotel in Lima, main plaza, cathedral and the catacombs in St Francis monastery, etc. She never hurried us and answered all the questions clearly English with knowledge. We took a lot of pictures during the 7 hours and at no time did we find we were late for the next destination. Great guide. All the best to her career.

We were in good hands for our time with Sandra. She is a very knowledgable guide and after initial introductions, was able to provide us with all sorts of valuable info regarding history and all aspects of living in the big city of Lima. We had a mix of driving and walking and it was a good balance to see as many of the sights we could in our time together. We absolutely loved her recommendation for our lunch stop for food and atmosphere. In the hub-bub of traffic that we weren't really prepared for, she took us to an park area of olive trees planted by the first Spanish settlers, and the swirling rush of the day surrounding the city just melted away. We came away with our day with Sandra with smiles.

Sandra is a wonderful tour guide! She customized a tour to focus on our interest in pre-colonial history, and expertly guided us through the Larco Museum and Hucua Pucllana. She also took us to historic downtown Lima and a crafts market. She was extremely knowledgeable about Peruvian history and art. I highly recommend her!

Sandra and her driver Ezekiel were wonderful. Saw many beautiful sites and went to a great Perúvian restaurant. Would book this tour early so as not to miss out. She was easy to contact and was prompt as promised. Great vehicle and great fun.

Sandra was great! She knows her city inside out and is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to its history and present-day issues. Sandra was an absolute gem to be with all day, if you are looking for a great Lima Guide you can stop your search and hire Sandra!
