La guida è stata molto furba. Dovrebbe essere un free tour con la scelta del turista su quanto dare, mentre in questo caso è stata imposta una tariffa a sua scelta. Mi sono sempre trovata bene con Civitatis. Ma la guida Alfredo non la raccomando assolutamente. Oltre tutto arrivato in ritardo.

Spesso capita che alcuni partecipanti trascurino la necessità di dare un contributo alla fine del tour. Per questo motivo, le guide possono consigliare la mancia abituale. Tuttavia, i partecipanti sono liberi di contribuire di più o di meno se lo desiderano. Ci dispiace se le raccomandazioni della guida vi hanno fatto sentire a disagio.

Alfredo provided an excellent tour, almost private (it was just the two of us). The visit through Chinatown was fascinating, and he provided a safe, informative tour. The cemetery was also very interesting, huge and stuffed with history. His English was excellent, and knew (and was proud of) Peru’s history. Well worth it - take the tour! We returned by Uber after the cemetery visit, it’s not an area you will want to hang around in.

La actividad estuvo buena, el guía fue muy comprensivo con mi atraso de 10 min debido a mi desconocimiento a cerca del tráfico. Se nota que sabía mucho sobre los lugares que visitamos. Hasta ahí todo bien. Sin embargo, a la hora de la propina, pidió más. Yo di dentro del rango que sugiere Civitatis y de mis posibilidades, pero nunca lo mencionó anteriormente y si esta es una visita pagada entonces que no se llame "free tour", estipulando una cantidad de forma clara.

The activity was good, the guide was very understanding with my 10 min delay due to my lack of knowledge about traffic. You can tell he knew a lot about the places we visited. So far so good. However, when it came to tipping, he asked for more. I gave it within the range suggested by Civitatis and within my possibilities, but he never mentioned it before and if this is a paid visit then it should not be called a "free tour", clearly stipulating an amount.

En los free tours los guías suelen explicar qué cantidad es habitual pagar, especialmente para aquellos que nunca han hecho una visita de este tipo. No obstante, no es obligatorio dar un montante concreto, tal y como explicamos en la descripción de nuestra web. Translate this opinion into English.

In the free tours, the guides usually explain what amount is usual to pay, especially for those who have never made a visit of this type. However, it is not mandatory to give a specific amount, as we explain in the description of our website. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour con Alfredo fue genial!!! Se dió la situación que solo yo me había apuntado al tour y aun así, Alfredo se mostró super dispuesto a hacerlo igualmente :) Primero fuimos a ver el cementerio y después ya nos fuimos al Barrio chino. Alfredo lo cuenta todo muy bien, es súper cercano y se nota que sabe de lo que habla! Yo fui al cementerio de día pero se ve que de noche es cuando más se disfruta (obviamente si te gusta este rollo). Recomiendo mucho ir con él! Muchas gracias por el tour! :) Translate this opinion into English.

The tour with Alfredo was great !!! The situation occurred that only I had signed up for the tour and even so, Alfredo was super willing to do it anyway :) First we went to see the cemetery and then we went to Chinatown. Alfredo tells everything very well, he is super close and it shows that he knows what he is talking about! I went to the cemetery during the day but you can see that at night is when it is most enjoyed (obviously if you like this roll). I highly recommend going with him! Thank you very much for the tour! :) Opinion translated. Show original.

Mal, me la cancelo el guia diciendo que no podía po rque tenia otro tour

Bad, the guide canceled it saying he couldn't because he had another tour.

Si nuestro equipo cancela un tour no recibe ningún beneficio económico, así que no lo hace a menos que no tenga otro remedio. Sentimos que la actividad no se haya podido realizar, trabajamos a diario para mantener este tipo de ocurrencias al mínimo. Translate this opinion into English.

If our team cancels a tour, we receive no financial benefit, so we don't cancel unless we have no other option. We apologize that the activity couldn't take place; we work daily to keep these types of incidents to a minimum. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hice el free walking tour por el barrio chino y el cementerio en la ciudad de Lima con el guia Alfredo. El tour era desorganizado y aburrido a pesar que el grupo eramos dos perosonas adicional la duración o las paradas no fueron adecuadas y al final del tour el guia nos deja solos en una zona peligrosa. igualmente no se informo que para entrar al cementerio tenia un costo de 10 soles y adicional desde el barrio chino al cementerio habia que coger un transporte con otro gasto adicional

I did the free walking tour of Chinatown and the cemetery in the city of Lima with the guide Alfredo. The tour was disorganized and boring even though the group was two people, the duration and stops were not adequate and at the end of the tour the guide left us alone in a dangerous area. I was also not informed that to enter the cemetery it cost 10 soles and that from Chinatown to the cemetery you had to take a transport with another additional cost.

Primera vez de todos los países que hemos ocupado Civitatis que nos cancelan . fue un irresponsable, no lo elijan. Escribió el día anterior para decir que no podía hacer la actividad porque no iba a estar; le digo que no nos sirve otro día y que viajamos el jueves y que teníamos otro viaje de pago con uds a El Callao y me ofrece a las 13 hrs; le explico que no podemos porque a esa hora termina el otro tour. Me escribió a las 13:40 hrs que inicia el tour. UNA FALTA DE RESPETO

First time in all the countries we have used Civitatis that they cancel on us. He was irresponsible, do not choose him. He wrote the day before to say that he could not do the activity because he was not going to be there. I told him that another day would not work for us and that we were traveling on Thursday and that we had another paid trip with you to El Callao and he offered me 1:00 p.m.; I explained to him that we cannot because the other tour ends at that time. He wrote to me at 1:40 p.m. when the tour starts. A LACK OF RESPECT.
