Heyson was very knowledgeable on history of Peru. Really enjoyed all the stops. Had a great tour of the various areas, historic downtown Lima and all of the beautiful squares. Would recommend this tour.

Jose was a great tour guide. He and Ricardo- the driver-did a great job showing us all around Lima. It was a wonderful day. We would highly recommend this for a tour of Lima.

    Pleasant private tour of Lima

    Karen_H, Apr 2026
    We saw highlights of LIma Peru with our private guide Javier. It was a pleasant, comfortable, informative tour.

    Great day

    We had such a lovely guide, Jose. He collected us on time from our hotel and was very informative throughout tour.

    Too much walking for seniors. A more leisurely tour would have been better. Viator should rate the tours on how strenuous they are.

    Great day out

    Mark_J, Feb 2026
    Picked up from hotel in comfortable car, guide very knowledgeable. Great tour would never have found the places ourselves. Dropped of at great Peruvian restaurant to finish off a great day

    Great guide, poor vehicle

    Amanda_C, Jan 2026
    The guide for the tour was excellent but unfortunately the vehicle let the tour down. Was supposed to be luxury vehicle but quite frankly needed scrapping. Had to wait 40 minutes for it to arrive!

    Great tour!

    Gracias por su confianza

    Excellent Lima City Tour

    Sandrine_A, Aug 2025
    Carlos was our driver and Jose our tour guide. Carlos was excellent expertly navigating the Lima traffic scene and getting us safely to all of our excursions! Jose was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything to us about the history and modern times of the city. He also took our pictures and was very patient/flexible during what seemed like a misunderstanding of when to pick us up/expect us on the tour. He found us and immediately got us up to speed on what we missed before we joined the rest of the group. He was awesome and I’ll definitely recommend him! The tour itself gave us a good idea of Perú’s history, culture, and present day challenges. Super informative especially if you do not have a lot of time in Lima.

    Fantastic Tour!!!

    Shigetsu_S, Aug 2025
    Jose was a really great tour guide! He was very very knowledgeable and also made his explanation very entertaining. He also asked me a lot of questions so he would understand what I was interested in. He really made sure I was happy and satisfied. If he asks you to try some Pisco I highly recommend it. :) The driver was professional and friendly as well.

    A great tour of Lima in one day!

    Elvira_Z, Jun 2025
    This was a great tour! We enjoyed walking in the streets of Lima and learning about its history and traditions. We got to visit a lot of places in a relatively short amount of time. Thankfully, there wasn’t a lot of traffic, well planned! Thank you for this experience!

    Disappointing

    Emily_M, May 2025
    Very poor tour. The guide wasn’t engaging or informative, didn’t look like he wanted to be there and finished an hour earlier; after rushing us out of the last stop. A shame as this tour had many good reviews and we were excited to attend.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    We are very sorry about what happened, as we spoke on WhatsApp, it seems strange to us that we have bad comments from our best guide, in the same way your comments help us to improve.

    Amazing Lima and amazing guides

    Gabriela_B, Mar 2025
    My daughter (17yo) and I had the best time. Heyson and Angel were amazing. Angel the driver super fun and accommodating and Heyson our tour guide is a vault of information and showed us in little time all the gems that the city has to offer. If you want to use your time in the best way, see everything amazing about Lima and be treated like royalty then this trip is for you!

    Great day

    Donna_H, Feb 2025
    We only had one day to enjoy Lima. I felt the driver and guide gave us great highlights and good photo ops for our day. Timely and courteous !

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thanks for your comments

    You'll be glad you were taken to these sites

    Thomas_T, Feb 2025
    A necessary tour to take to get to see the interesting and fun parts of Lima. Try to schedule your tour to visit the city squares on the weekends when they are most lively with musical performers and celebrations.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    It's nice to know that you liked everything and thank you for your comments.

    Excellent tour
