Top Lima City Tours - page 7

Nathaly was a fantastic tour guide with an in depth knowledge of architecture and art history. We had a comprehensive day of everything Lima, including the city center, churches, the eclectic architecture, coffee shop break, parks, archeological sites, the shantytown area, and our favorite: Museo Larco, a privately owned vast collection of antiquities followed by a delicious lunch. We had a lovely driver to take us places and we walked to some areas in the city. Highly recommend this tour!

Sometimes the website doesn’t correspond with what’s actually available. We tried booking the bike tour but it stated it was sold out so it optioned for the Segway tour. We had never rode a Segway so Beto was very accommodating in allowing us to test our skills. Found that we were not as comfortable on a Segway so he gave us bikes instead. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we rode to. Great ride, fairly easy route and some interesting places.

Our experience on the Street Food, Market & Old Eateries Tour in Lima’s Historic Center was absolutely outstanding—and a huge part of that was our guide, David. From the very start, David brought incredible energy, warmth, and knowledge to the tour. He wasn’t just guiding us from one food stop to the next—he truly brought Lima (and Peru as a whole) to life. We learned so much about the country’s history, the architecture of the historic center, and the culture and daily life of the Peruvian people, all while enjoying amazing food along the way. Some of our favorite bites were the incredibly fresh Peruvian fruit at the market, the most amazing churros (filled with rich caramel!), and the unforgettable tiger’s milk fish broth—which was unlike anything we’ve ever tried. One of the highlights was visiting the Central Market, which is somewhere we likely would have never ventured on our own. Having David there made all the difference—he helped us navigate it comfortably, introduced us to vendors, and explained what we were seeing in a way that made it feel authentic rather than overwhelming. Sitting in the middle of the market on a Saturday night in Lima, trying beef heart (it was really good!) is a moment I will never forget. The food was fantastic, but what made this tour truly special was the depth of the experience. It felt immersive, personal, and thoughtfully curated rather than just a checklist of places to eat. If you’re considering this tour, do it—and if you’re lucky enough to get David as your guide, you’re in for something really memorable.

Would highly recommend this tour, the food was fabulous and Arthur was an excellent guide. We learnt so much about the food and culture of Peru, in particular Lima. Ending the tour with a short walk around the artistic area was a perfect way to end the evening. We were a group of 11 which was the perfect size to get to know everyone over good food and drink. Arthur made sure that food and drink requirements were met at each restaurant without any fuss.

Nice experience,the lights and waterfalls were very beautiful.Bring a sweater, i notice the ladies were cold .The guide spoke very good english and spanish,he gave us a lot of information on the country and history. Our guide was Maverick,he was amazing .

Jesus & Anahí were the best guides! We did this tour for the new year and it was an unforgettable experience. We were hesitant at first but quickly became friends with everyone in our group! Made some friends for life and enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommend this tour to get you out of your comfort zone and just enjoy the friendliness and culture of Peru! Couldn’t have entered the new year with better company!

Nice tour of the Highlights of Lima including the main areas downtown and visiting the Cathedral, the San Francisco church, museum and catacombs. Since our tour took place on a Sunday we had the chance to see around the Plaza de Armas several student groups performing music and local dances. We also had at our own expense a lunch at a nice restaurant in the downtown area. Last we visited a local market where we sampled some delicious fruits and visited Love Park with great views of the coast.

Carlos was our driver and Jose our tour guide. Carlos was excellent expertly navigating the Lima traffic scene and getting us safely to all of our excursions! Jose was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything to us about the history and modern times of the city. He also took our pictures and was very patient/flexible during what seemed like a misunderstanding of when to pick us up/expect us on the tour. He found us and immediately got us up to speed on what we missed before we joined the rest of the group. He was awesome and I’ll definitely recommend him! The tour itself gave us a good idea of Perú’s history, culture, and present day challenges. Super informative especially if you do not have a lot of time in Lima.
