Excellent 1/2 day with the very enthusiastic and knowledgeable Patrick.
Would thoroughly recommend this 4.5 hour experience.
Brian_P, Feb 2026
Our tour included a vehicle to drive between some of the stops and the rest was on foot. The tour and our guide were great. The churches, catacombs, and pisco tasting were our favorites. I’d recommend this to anybody visiting Lima.

Pickup and drop off logistics were superb. My guide Michelle spoke very good English. From San Isidoro and back, trip was 5 hours total with heavy traffic on a Saturday at mid day.
Otto_K, Jan 2026
It is a wonderful tour and Melanie was a FANTASTIC guide. It is well-paced and very informative. There were only 4 total in our tour, so having a small group allowed everyone to ask questions with no one feeling rushed.
Melanie is very, very knowledgeable and both very personable and professional. Every aspect of it was worthwhile. Wish we could have Melanie again as a guide while we are staying in Lima.

Our tour Guide Jose was amazing he was very informative and was very knowledgeable about the history of all the sights we visited. Jose was bilingual reached, helped us a lot. He spoke English. Beni was a great driver got us to all our destinations safely and on time! We are leaving Lima with a better understanding of Limas history! I highly recommend everyone who’s visiting Lima to do the tour.

Was a good tour, but a long afternoon and tour guides English was a little hard to understand especially as there was a lot of information but he was really lovely & was happy to answer follow up questions. Catacombs was the highlight & was great to learn about history & traditions! The Pisco tasting was also enjoyable

Mario was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided interesting information to add to the trip. We went to a lot of places and got a great feel for Lima. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend.
andy_R, Aug 2025
We thought Jose was such a good guide.He was so genuine and it was good value for money. The administration staff were quite abrupt and rude regarding pick up instructions. Like the other fellow travelers we were given conflicting instructions despite arranging pick up from our Hotel., However at last minute we were given alternative options which was good
Response from Host, Aug 2025

Amazing
We met at Paque del Amor and met Melanie to learn about the city, weather and the story of the park. Afterwards we met our driver Benji, did a stop in Pucllana Archeological Place and were driven to Lima Historic Center to visit the San Francisco and the Catacumbas. Melanie nows many details about history and the country. We are really please qith her language and group management. Thanks for an outstanding experience.
Benji's vehicle was spotless and small fantastic.
And their customer service is spectacular

This is the best tour to familiarize the city of Lima and see the different types of districts. On top of it the guide take you to some of the local shops to try their local produce.

Tour was ok but nothing to write home about.
We were supposed to stop by a chocolate store but did not . Seemed rushed
Debra_L, Jun 2025
Great guide with lots of knowledge and expertise. Value for money. Lucky enough to see changing of the guard.
Timothy_K, Jun 2025
The tour was a bit basic. It was cheap, and you get what you pay for. It was a bit rushed. If you just want to be able to say you saw Lima, this is for you. If you want to truly be immersed, this is not for you.
Marlu_D, Jun 2025
We had Roxanna and she was a very good tour guide. Knowledgeable and flexible. Great tour. We had a good time.
Saya_N, Jun 2025
I joined the tour for the first day in Lima. My group was very small so we could ask anything to the guide, Roxana. It was helpful to discover the stories of the area that I wouldn't have discovered if I have self guided.
Paul_I, May 2025
Our guide had great historical knowledge and provided context for the sites we saw. Peruvian traffic is ubiquitous, so it some time between sites.
Jennifer_i, Apr 2025
We had a great time at our tour with Osvaldo! It showed us several interesting parts of Lima, we recommend it!

dave_r, Mar 2025
We were an hour late being picked up and even though we knew about this it wasn’t a great start! The traffic in Lima is terrible and expect to be delayed. Once we got started the trip was interesting, but not outstanding. The cathedral and catacombs were interesting but other things like driving through the neighbourhoods where there are some amazing houses would have been good to stop and take photos. Wanted to enjoy the tour but it was a bit of a let down.
Response from Host, Apr 2025

Roxanna-our guide and Benji-our driver were both amazing. She was very knowledgeable, and had a lot of interesting history to share with us. I really feel like we came away from this experience with a hunger to know more about Peru. Benji got us safely to all of our destinations without making us feel uncomfortable. Would highly recommend this tour. It was wonderful, and definitely worth every penny.
Response from Host, Mar 2025

Tour guide communicate the history of each stop on the tour.
English was spoken very clear and Spanish so everyone could enjoy the downtown area.
Highlight was the pisco tasting.

Manuela_G, Feb 2025
This was a great experience to see what the city of Lima is all about. I enjoyed seeing the catacombs and the cathedrals . The pisco tasting was a nice touch at the end. The plaza was so beautiful and it felt so safe to walk around the plaza. Noemi was an amazing tour guide and the conductor Diego was careful driving and giving excellent service. Highly recommend this short tour. Grab a bite to eat before the tour as it is 4 hrs long
Response from Host, Feb 2025

We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon. And yes, a snack before the tour is always a good idea to stay energized for the adventure! 😊🌟
Kaitlin_A, Jan 2025
Lots of top sights but there was not as much context or explanation given besides a few fun facts. Felt like I’ve had far more informative tours. This was mostly pointing out “so and so lived here” rather than weaving a strong storyline for Lima. The tour descriptor also mentioned visiting the chocolate museum but we did not. The great reviews on Viator seem to be overselling this.
The pick up and drop off at the hour was perfect.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We’re glad to hear that the pick-up and drop-off were perfect and that you were able to visit some of Lima’s top sights. We apologize if the tour didn’t meet your expectations in terms of context and storyline. We truly aim to provide engaging and informative experiences, so we will take your comments into consideration to improve the depth and structure of our tours. Regarding the chocolate museum, we sincerely apologize for the discrepancy, and we will make sure to clarify this in the future. Your feedback helps us continue to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us!
Lesley_C, Jan 2025
Tour 17th Jan - Our group was only 4 people so felt like a private tour. The guide was excellent but I can’t remember her name. The traffic was bad as there was a festival the next day. Included pisco sour tasting which was good fun. Also pickup from our hotel was on time so very good too.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Your feedback means a lot to us! We are so glad you enjoyed the tour and we are sorry that the traffic made the trip inconvenient. We look forward to helping you on your next trip! 🌟
Tommy_B, Jan 2025
We were lucky to have a private tour and as it was on New Year’s Eve pickup was slightly earlier than 2.30 so that we could reach the catacombs before they shut.
Ricardo was a great informative guide.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you very much for your comment! We are very happy to know that Ricardo made your
something special experience. Without a doubt, he is an excellent guide and we are proud to have him in
our team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future!

Our tour guide Patrick was wonderful. He showed us the highlights of Lima and provided great explanations for all venues. We could tell he is very proud of his country. A debt of gratitude must also be given to our driver for navigating through the incredibly heavy traffic. Despite a bit of a hiccup with pickup location and vehicle expected we had a great time.
