Lima Highlights: Miraflores, Barranco, Chorrillos & Downtown
Description
Get the Best of Lima with us! If you have only one day in Lima and want to make the most of it, this is your chance to get to see the highlights of the city! We pick you up and head to Huaca Pucllana, a pyramid built in the year 200 b.c. by ancient Peruvians (panoramic), then we go to "The Park of Love" to take excellent photos with the monument "the kiss". After, we leave Miraflores to go to a non-touristy area, this is the fishers Village of Lima, where we visit a fish Market as we learn a bit more of the everyday life of Peruvians. After Chorrillos, we go to The bohemian district of Barranco, to see the street art and the "Bridge of Sighs". For lunch we go to an indigenous market to try our famous and local ceviche!. After lunch, we head to the Historic of Lima, to explore the mysterious catacombs below the San Francisco church and to have a meaningful Walking tour along with our guide. The visit to Main Square and San Martin Plaza are included on the program. Just Great!

We had an absolutely brilliant experience on the Full Day Lima Highlights Tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lima, especially if you only have a short time in the city. Our guide, Alexander, was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and also very humble and personable throughout the day. What really stood out was how he adapted the tour to suit us, making sure we saw everything we hadn’t already explored on our own. That flexibility made the experience feel very personal rather than scripted. A huge thank you also to Eduardo, our driver, who was professional, friendly, and made getting around Lima smooth and comfortable. The highlight of the day was lunch in a traditional Peruvian fish restaurant, enjoying beers alongside local people and sampling authentic Peruvian seafood dishes — especially the ceviche, which was outstanding. The fresh fish cured in lime with herbs and local flavours was a real culinary highlight and gave us a genuine taste of Peru. This tour gave us the perfect blend of history, culture, local life, and food. If you’re visiting Lima and want to make the most of your time, this tour is an excellent choice.

The tour was marvelous. Took in lots of “things to see” and Claudia was a wonderful guide. She was very personable and knowledgeable. The long tour was well pace with enough time at each destination. I would highly recommend this tour.
Terrific tour. Very well organized. Good pace and very informative. Would absolutely recommend. Well done
Claudia was an enormously helpful and informed guide. She made the entire tour a happy delight for us visitors.
Great tour, Alexandr was knowledgable and kind, I learned a lot about Lima. Lunch was delicious at the local cafe with very Peruvian vibe. The Convent and catacomb were my highlights . Would recommend.
Great expirience exploring the highlights of Lima . My guide Alexander was very kind, knowledgable and spoken very good English . I liked everything , Lima is old, charming city full of history. Thank you Alexander! Would very much recommend the tour.
Absolutely top notch tour. Prompt pick up. Amazing sights. The food was wonderful. Alexander was an ideal guide. Everything was wonderful and exactly as advertised. Advice - don't eat a big breakfast before as there is lots of fruit at the tasting and the lunch has both an individual appetizer and main course, wear good walking shoes, and take a hat.
Great tour, I learned so much. My tour guide, Klaudia, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to everyone!
Claudia did a wonderful job touring us around Lima. She was detailed and very knowledgeable. It was a lot of fun, and the driver did a good job navigating the streets.
