Travel Buddies provided us with airport pickups (Ayeman), two customized all day tours (guide Ruddi, driver Pedro) and a Food Walking tour (guide Miguel). The response from the owner (Caesar) was almost immediate and he met me at the beginning to the food tour to introduce himself and thank me for my business. Ayeman was holding signs for us at the airport and was so very courteous and the transportation clean with excellent AC. (He waited for four hours in the middle of the night for one of our group who had missed the earlier flight) I was the only one on the food tour & was surprised they didn't cancel, but was informed they never cancel tours for low numbers which is unusual in my experience. The stops on the tour were diverse and the food delicious. Miguel had lots of wonderful information to share about his city & he insisted on carrying a 40 pound box of school supplies that I was taking to a local school for me for 2 hours! That was above and beyond the call of duty! Rudi did an excellent job herding around 8 ladies! We did a shopping tour on one day and a city highlights tour on the next day with transfers from our hotel and pick up and drop off at the Calleo cruise terminal. His driver Pedro was so polite and kind and helped the ladies on and off the bus and carried shopping purchases! We had lunch at the Larco museum (not included but excellent) and also at a beautiful old house (included). Rudi did an excellent job anticipating the needs and desires of our group and we all agreed the three days we spent with Travel Buddies could NOT HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. I would look no further if I was needing transfers and tours in Lima and their prices are great too!
