Top Lima Walking Tours

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.

We had such a great time on this tour! Arturo, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and outgoing. Visiting the largest market in Lima, and eating from the food stands made us feel like locals. Everything was delicious and authentic. Arturo went above and beyond by even texting all of us a list of the different snacks, fruits, drinks and desserts that we tried. Peruvian food is so unique, and this experience was our favorite of the trip so far!

An all day event that will surely tire you out! Be prepared for a long journey in the bus. There are stops along the way, but we started at 5AM and ended at 10PM. If you book this event, I would recommend making sure you get a good sleep the night before and you are not doing anything too hectic the next day because it does take a lot out of you. The places we visited were pretty incredible! It really felt like each area was its own separate unit or island. There isn’t really much time during your stops to “shop” around so don’t expect to be able to purchase souvenirs at this time! They run a pretty strict schedule! Alvaro, our guide, was friendly and very clear with instructions. I would recommend this trip as it was lots of fun! If you get sea sick/motion sick, bring Dramamine! The ATV riding is very intense, tread carefully if it’s not typically your cup of tea. Wear sunscreen and a hat! Bring a bandana to cover your face and shades to protect your eyes from the sand.

Our guide, Arthur, was wonderful. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful - one restaurant was next to the ocean, one restaurant was next to ruins. The other two were lovely as well. The night was topped off with a walk through Barranco with some beautiful murals - we’ve been to a bunch of food tours in different counties and this was the best by far!

We are so pleased that we signed up for this tour. Our guide, Jonathan, was the very best guide anyone could want. In his very clean and comfortable vehicle, he took us to areas that we had not previously been after two separate excursions from our cruise ship. He communicated promptly and delivered a tour that exceeded our expectations. These sections of Lima are absolutely beautiful and very much worth the time to visit. Don’t miss out on this wonderful experience.

A fantastic way to experience the highlights of Lima. Our guide Klaudia and driver Eduardo we excellent. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. Klaudia, was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour very enjoyable, if you want a great experience then this the tour , thank you for a great day.

We had an excellent visit of the town of Lima with Alexander that brought us to the main sites. He gave us a lot of history from the past & present. We were amazed by the catacombes. We highly recommend this tour. Finally the driver drove us to Miraflores boardwalk where there is a nice parc, shopping mall and restaurants to eat perouvian food with a view on the océan. Thank you for this incredible journey. Sylvain & Helene

It was fun to ride the double decker bus from the Miraflores district to the historical center and back while having hearing a narration of the buildings and areas we passed by. Once at the historical center, we went with our guide Elizabeth who provided detailed explanations on the sites and was very patient with ny elderly parents who needed a little more time walking around. This was not a hop-on/hop-off tour but it worked well for my family with limited mobility to see the town without rushing into and out of the bus.
