This is a very good tour if you want to see the main parts of Lima in short time. Our guide Edward was excellent. Had a lot of knowledge and explained everything so well in very good English

Very informational, and interesting. The private guide is the way to go if you'd like to experience Lima at your own pace with a small group. This can also be customized to your desires. We were going to have some overlap with some of our independent sight seeing, so we told our guide ahead of time where we wanted to focus and it was the perfect modification and pacing that suited our wishes.

Too much walking for seniors. A more leisurely tour would have been better. Viator should rate the tours on how strenuous they are.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the amount of walking made the tour less comfortable for you. We truly appreciate your comments, especially regarding the needs of senior travelers. Your feedback is very helpful and will allow us to better communicate the walking involved and offer a more leisurely pace whenever needed. Thank you for helping us improve our service.
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

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!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you found your guide excellent. However, we sincerely apologize for the condition of the vehicle and the 40-minute delay. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, particularly when a luxury vehicle has been booked. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will review what happened with our transportation team to prevent this from happening again. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
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.

Our guide was extremely versed in the culture and history of Lima. The whole experience was well worth it
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Gracias por su confianza
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.

Gracias por todos sus comentarios
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.

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!

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.
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!

Qué gusto saber que saber que todo estuvo bien
Gracias por sus palabras
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
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 with private driver and tour, they were able to show me around Lima in the few hours I had in the city before my next flight.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for your visit
The tour with a private guide and driver (safe driving style, air-conditioned minibus) was very well organized. Perfect if you don't have much time in Lima and still want to explore important sights. Communication in English was possible without any problems and I received a lot of information. I was particularly impressed by the walk into the catacombs and the monastery - we didn't have to wait in line for admission, which was good. A note: on this tour, you can only view "Huaca Pucllana" from the outside (no admission, also due to time constraints). All in all, a great experience!
