I can't recommend this tour with Mau enough! As someone who's always skeptical of joining tour groups for fear that they will be canned or boring or feel too touristy, this was the total opposite. Mau made getting to know Barranco so fun and natural, and I fell in love with the neighborhood while walking around with her and the rest of our group! Barranco is also clearly the gem of Lima and worth spending a lot of your time in if you're coming to visit the city- the whole vibe of the neighborhood is lovely, and we saw so much vibrant street art as well as local galleries. Doing my initial exploration of the area with Mau felt like it set me up to enjoy the whole rest of my time in Barranco so much more :-)
