Day 1 Lima ::
[jbox color=”gray” radius=”1″ title=” Lima” title_css=”color:#222222;font-family:brandon grotesque medium;font-size:22px;” content_css=”color:#222222;font-family:brandon grotesque regular;font-size:18px;line-height:120%”]
Arrive in Lima, where you’ll spend the night at the Belmond Miraflores Park. Take some time to explore the city; from museums, galleries and archaeological sites to its colourful markets and cutting-edge restaurants.
A historic, bustling capital of 8 million people, Lima thrives with a revitalized colonial core and surging local dining scene. The city hugs the coast of the Pacific Ocean and is blessed with pockets of refuge, like seaside Barranco, an artsy barrio and nightlife haunt. Peru’s ancient history lives on in Lima’s archaeological museums and the truly surprising 1,500-year-old, pre-Inca adobe pyramids that rise up from among urban residential towers.
Lima is composed of very distinct neighborhoods. The best area for a stay is Miraflores, an upscale residential district that is home to the city’s greatest number of restaurants, shops and nightlife options. San Isidro is equal parts business headquarters, luxury apartments overlooking parks, and fine restaurants. The historic heart of the city, Lima Centro, evokes an era when it was the richest settlement in the Americas. There you’ll find the grand Plaza de Armas, baroque and Renaissance churches (especially Convento de San Francisco), and splendid colonial palaces with long carved- wood balconies. The Larco Museum, home to the world’s largest private collection of pre- Columbian art, delves into Peru’s complex web of ancient civilizations.

Dear Lee and all the Mulberry Travel Team,
We just wanted to thank you for organising such a wonderful trip to the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish.
The Hotel Mayfair was absolutely perfect for us, comfortable, elegant, and ideally located. The drivers throughout the weekend and for our airport transfers were excellent, especially Riswan, who drove us to and from the races. He was not only professional but also a wonderful guide, sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge of Paris and France, which really added to the experience.
Attending the Arc itself was something we had wanted to do for many years, and we’re so glad to have finally experienced it.
Thank you again to you and your team for arranging everything so beautifully. You took all the stress out of the trip for us and we are very grateful. It truly was a memorable weekend.
Warm regards,
Maggie, Richard & Eleanor

Sasha and her colleagues did a fantastic job helping organising our honeymoon, arranging everything; sorting the flights and transfers and picking the hotels for the two centre trip to Verona and Lake Garda that we wanted. Everything went smoothly from the flights, the transfers from Verona airport to the hotel in Verona, between Verona and Sirmione and the return to the airport, the hotels and the Opera (which was a highlight).

We have just returned from seeing Andrea Bocelli in Italy. The whole trip was organised by Mulberry Travel. I cant recommend them highly enough. They organised everything from flights to transfers to accommodation and also tickets for the concert. Everything ran seamlessly. The Hotel L'Orologia in Florence was one if their recommendations. It was beautiful and centrally situated on a lovely piazza. Transfers to and from the airport and the concert ran like clockwork.
I will certainly be booking with Mulberry Travel again for any trips. It took the worry out of organising myself which I would normally do.

We contacted Mulberry Travel to enquire about a 2025 Monaco F1 package as we could find nothing that suited us in Australia.
Sasha was incredible and put together a wonderful package for us. The whole booking process was so easy and we were kept informed every step of the way.
Our trip leaves us with fantastic memories.
Thankyou Sasha and Mulberry Travel.
We certainly recommend this company to anyone in UK or Australia

I recently booked a cruise to include tickets to Monaco Grand Prix for a special birthday surprise. Sasha contacted me via email so as not to spoil the surprise. This attention to detail continued along with timely correspondance throughout the whole planning period. The cruise was a great success but the hotel recommendations and even private hire transfers from airport, hotel and cruise port were all part of the very professional service and nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend Mulberry Travel to friends and family and will definitely use their services again. Thank you.

I recently travelled to Vienna and stayed in a five star hotel San Souci. After spending two days in Vienna my son and myself boarded the famous Orient Express train back to Paris and then onto London with Eurostar premium. The whole trip was organised by Mulberry Travel who arranged everything to perfection. I would recommend Mulberry travel to anyone. They took great care to ensure that we did not have any problems with our itinerary. The train ride on the Orient Express was in my opinion one of the best experiences of my life.
