Andres was absolutely excellent; exactly what you would expect of a Context guide. He went in depth in to explain the pre-European history of Peru and the Lima area. He did so in a way that contextualized the rest of our visit. We went back to his teachings over and over throughout our trip as we visited different sites and museums.
Suggested improvements:
- the Lima section of the Context Travel website is underdeveloped. Only after we emailed with interest in setting up a tour were we provided with rough outlines of the suggested walking tours: historical panorama, social sciences, politics, gastronomy. These tour outlines should be posted on the website so that they can easily be reviewed online without emailing back and forth. A disclaimed can be made that these are just the common suggestions
- the historical panorama tour that we took was quite long in terms of time; it seems that the itinerary is the same for the full day as for the half day and this is a point to consider for future tours as trying to fit the full day itinerary into a half day's time is probably too much. There may be a role for considering cutting some elements to make a tour that is comfortably done in 4 hours in the case of the half day tour.
