We had a fantastic experience on the Lima Half-Day City Walking Tour. Aaron was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of Lima. He brought the Historical Center to life with stories and details that made every stop interesting and memorable.
The pace of the tour was perfect: relaxed enough to enjoy the sights while still covering a lot of ground. One of the highlights was the stop for delicious Peruvian churros, which was such a fun and tasty surprise!
If you want to explore Lima’s Historical Center with a guide who makes history entertaining and accessible, I highly recommend this tour. Thanks again to Aaron and Haku Tours for a wonderful experience!

Leonardo accompanied by another member of the team Daria?, we’re awesome keeping it light, but always relevant. . it was a very busy day when we went in downtown and yet they navigated the crowds expertly. Highly recommended.

Aaron is exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the city while always prioritizing our comfort throughout the walk. The included snacks were also a lovely and tasty touch.
If you are looking for a seamless, informative, and great experience in Lima, definitely book this tour with Aaron!

Excellent walking tour, very informative. They will drive you to the city center, then the walking tour starts. Traffic can be pretty bad in Lima, so maybe try to book on a Sunday if possible. Beautiful experience, would definitely recommend.

For us, this was the perfect amount of time, and if we had wanted to stay in the historic center, we could have. You have to be sure to duck in the catacombs! Our guide, Amadeo, and our driver Julio made us feel safe, and Amadeo had a nice sense of humor.
