My tour guide, Juan was great in educating on all aspects of the Catacombs snd the Francisco monks. You almost felt you were living through those times and brought me closer to the culture. Juan is also very easy going and patiently answered everyone's questions.
The water show was spectacular and explained everything in a story fashion.
I highly recommend this tour for everyone.

Tour was better than expected. The guide, Alex, knew a lot and made the experience very memorable. The tour of the catacombs and the historic center in the evening was fascinating. The water show was worth it and everything he taught us made the show so much more meaningful. I picked this not really knowing what to expect but it was a good way to spend the evening, especially if you want to see a lot in a short time.

Alexander gave an excellent tour. Provided information on history, as well as, current life in Lima.
ANTHONY_D, Mar 2026
Everything was as advertised. Juan was excellent at explaining everything to us and very accommodating. The San Francisco church was beautiful and the catacombs were fascinating. The Central Historical District was incredible and full of amazing buildings. The light/fountain show was entertaining. We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend!

Had a fabulous tour with our driver (sorry, I don't remember his name, but he used to drive buses around Lima....crazy, loco!) and our guide, Alexander! From pickup at our hotel to drop off Alexander considered everyone's needs. The tour of the Church and catacombs was so interesting; beautiful, and also heartwrenching to think of all the souls who have gone before us. Walking the old town was nice and so much more history shared. Loved the fountain show and the whole park surrounding. What a joyful place!

Juan was a fabulous guide who made the tour of the catacombs and the fountains a great experience. .

Klaudia was amazing. She didn't talk too much but answered all our questions. Enjoyed being part of the locals and enjoying the Sunday with them.

Could be a little chilly. Bring a thin windbreaker. Great for children and adults. A wholesome family experience.
Craig_K, Dec 2025
Our tour guide, Klaudia was very friendly and gave a lot of history of Lima! The Catacombs were very neat, it was a gorgeous site to visit. Because it was New Years Eve, the tour had to get adjusted alittle. Even with the adjustment, it was very good. Again - Klaudia was so fun to hang out with!
Heena_A, Dec 2025
Tour covered the areas mentioned but felt rushed, recommend exploring on your own, especially the fountain park where you can spend a lot more time.
Amy_B, Dec 2025
Alex was informative and fun! He made the experience come to life. Very knowledgeable!!! We enjoyed the catacombs very much and learning about the history.

Walking down streets of Lima Down town is like coming back to the colonial era , churches every block , the government palace , colonial balconies are admirable, visiting the catacombs make us wonder about cheating people , history tells their story and every person get the conclusion . Water Park is very well taken care of , my grandkids enjoyed.

I was really looking forward to this just for the water show, little did I know I would be blown away by the San Francisco church & tunnel walk. Our tour guide was great with knowledge, my only complaint it became a bit rushed to make the water show
Christine_C, Dec 2025
Such a great guide! Knew so much about everything and made your fun. Highly recommend this tour and especially Enrique as a guide!
Kathleen_L, Nov 2025
The catacombs are really interesting. No photos allowed though.
The historic square was impressive, with gorgeous old buildings and great photo ops. We were able to go inside several really beautiful churches.
The water show was nice.
It was a lot to do in just a few hours, though, and it all was very rushed. We ended up running into traffic so we had to fast walk the last couple of blocks and missed some of the show.
It would have been enough without the water show.
Elizabeth_S, Nov 2025
Very good experience but need to include bathroom breaks. Walked very fast was difficult to take pictures without falling behind or purchase something you see in shops.
Deanna_C, Nov 2025
Spatialize was excellent. Very knowledgeable and friendly. She was able to keep our group together while maneuvering through numerous crowds.
Sandy, Nov 2025
Loved the whole experience with Jean Paul.. He was very knowledgable and patient with us. We even got to see The Precesion de San Judas Tadeo right as we entered the church.
Donna_S, Nov 2025
Nice stroll through the city center at evening and tour of the catacombs. Our guide Alexander was excellent - very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He took us to some of the gathering places for locals to get a good sense of the energy of the local culture. The water show was cool showed an interesting history of Peru and connected lots of dots from our tour.
Laura_D, Nov 2025
It was an excellent tour of the catacombs and the guide Manel was very knowlegable. The water show was a fun way to end the evening.
Joanne_A, Oct 2025
This was a very enjoyable tour. Alexander was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. I particularly liked the tour of the catacombs which was fascinating. The fountain show was more of a projection show than a fountain show. It was a little disappointing as most of it was video projections onto the water spray, rather than the fountains actually doing much. However, this is down to personal choice and others will thoroughly enjoy it.

The catacombs, historical district and water show was a fun night adventure in LIma. Juan was a great tour guide, with lots of interesting facts.
Kimberly_H, Oct 2025
Great guide and driver. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, explain everything in detail, took time to explain everything
Linda_W, Oct 2025
A different way to see Lima. Lovely at night. Pick up at hotel. Private knowledgeable guide. Thank you, Manuel!
Erin_A, Oct 2025
This was a phenominal experience. We traveled to Peru from the states with our 12 and 15 year old and they loved it. Klaudia, our guide was perfection! So knowledgeable, patient and kept the tour on time... which is a feat in Lima traffic on a Friday night in traffic. The catacombs history was fantastic and the light show was magical, I highly recommend!
Tyler_R, Oct 2025
Juan was an excellent guide and the tour overall was highly informative and fun! Would recommend to anyone staying in Lima
Deborah_M, Sep 2025
Lots of walking but very enjoyable. Water tunnel (tunnel of water) was fun to walk through. Light show is different than anything I have seen
Marisa_C, Sep 2025
My husband and I (40s) did this tour with my in-laws (70s) and all enjoyed it. It was informative, fascinating, and a manageable amount of walking for the group. The only downside was you walk by a lot of shops and have no time to stop. Since the traffic in Lima is terrible (the ride from Miraflores to central Lima could take an hour or more), this is extra disappointing. I would recommend they build some time for that into the itinerary. Tour guide was excellent.
Sam_G, Sep 2025
This was a great tour. Juan was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The historical centre of Lima, the catacombs an the water fountains were a great combination. Highly recommend.
Deborah_D, Aug 2025
Manuel was very knowledgeable and personable and gave us a wonderful tour. The fountain light show was amazing showing the history of Peru set to music and the convent and catacombs were extremely beautiful and interesting.
