You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while its real essence stays just out of reach. Our Walking Tour in Lima Downtown changes that. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover the heart of Lima beyond the surface.

What are people saying about Lima

linda_b, Oct 2026

Lima overview

This is a blend of a driving and walking tour. Juan gave lots of info about Lima as the driver handled the traffic. I enjoyed the stop at Parc d'Amore. I would have liked a bit more time there as the ocean was beautiful! The historic district was lovely. The catacombs visit was enlightening! We sampled 4 different types of pisco sour recipes. Pretty tasty!

There was an accident...

There was an accident with our original Guide so they told us they had to cancel it when two other girls that were variance, insistent that they find a another guide they finally did talk about 30 minutes, which wasn’t bad, but they didn’t look for another guy on their own, which they should have done

Great tour

It was a great private tour … history and architecture was explained. Visited all the places listed plus more. Since my husband is unable to walk much… the guide adjusted the tour and made it more panoramic. We had a good time. We even took photos with a Miraflores city major candidate😃.

~Great tour of Lima with Giovanna~

Giovanna was a wonderful tour guide! We did the full-day Lima tour, and she did an amazing job bringing the city to life while explaining the highlights and unique character of each neighborhood. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. She even went the extra mile to get us authentic Peruvian churros and ice cream, which was such a delicious bonus! Highly recommend Giovanna for anyone looking to explore Lima.

The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture & Flavors

Helen_A, Aug 2026

This was the absolute...

This was the absolute perfect full day tour on my first day in Peru. The guide, Alex, was amazingly knowledgeable with excellent English. He shared so many interesting insights into Lima and Peru. Managed to taste various local fruits at the market. Had a delicious lunch and generally learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour for a starting point to travelling in Peru.

Solo in Lima

Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took our group to the key spots and highlighted important points for all of us. He knew the history as well as interesting additional facts. He made sure to find me at my drop-off location and made sure I had my transportation back to my hotel. I felt safe the entire time, met some great people, and really enjoyed the experience.

Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks

Nahid_M, Aug 2026

An amazing experience

Yoced is a charming, funny and expert tour guide. As a solo female traveller, I was slightly nervous but from the moment I arrived, Yoced was attentive and kind. I had questions beyond the food tour and Yoced was ready to answer all of them really thoroughly. It felt more like a conversation with a knowledgeable and funny friend rather than a tour you pay for. He made sure everyone in the tour was happy and taken care of. If I visit Lima again, I'd love to go on different tours with Yoced.

Lima’s a Strong Contender for Best Food!

What a great little introduction to Lima and the Peruvian food culture. Sheyla, our tour guide, really gave a great history of where we were, where we were going and what we were eating. It also helps that the food on the tour is SUPER DELICIOUS. Would love to recommend this tour and Sheyla to newcomers to Lima.

Lima Gourmet Food Tour: Evening Experience

Jonna_C, Aug 2026

Amazing Food Tour with Arthur!

The Lima Gourmet Food Tour with Arthur was absolutely amazing! The food was beyond delicious, and Arthur was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire evening. The small group made it easy to get around and made the experience feel personal. The bus was clean, comfortable, and very well air-conditioned. Each food stop was unique and memorable. Our first stop was a beautiful ceviche at a seaside restaurant overlooking surfers at sunset—so picturesque! The second stop was near historic ruins and featured some of the best dishes of the night. The third stop included a unique cocktail and some of the best croquettes I’ve ever had. We finished at a charming chocolatier, which was the perfect sweet ending to the evening. Afterward, we walked around Barranco, which was a great way to burn off a few calories while learning about the history of the neighborhood and taking in all the beautiful murals. If you’re visiting Lima, go on this tour! The food, the experience, and Arthur’s hospitality made it absolutely worth the price. Highly recommend!

City Tour Panoramic Bus Departure From Larcomar

Linus_P, Jun 2026

Tour down memory lane

It's a great way to see Lima for the first time (or even a second time around for me). Having been to Lima 16 years ago, it was nice to see how some of the places I've been to have stayed the same and how some have changed. Since I was the only English-speaking person in the group, I got to be treated to a special tour with Juan Carlos(?). Instead of going the usual route like I've been to before, I asked him to take me to the not-so-visited parts. Also, we recreated some photos I took from 16 years ago in the main plaza. It was a total highlight!

Lima: Historic Downtown, Catacombs & Miraflores Tour

Neil_H, Jun 2026

Fun day

Vilma was super informative and could answer any question we had as we walked through downtown Lima. She had perfect pacing to let us see everything and linger at sights we thought were stunning while beating the crowd to all the cathedrals and buildings. She also gave us great advice of where to get coffee and a snack throughout the day. Overall just a fun and informative day around Lima!

Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included

Katherine_L, Apr 2026

A fun and fulfilling day!

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.
