Itinerary
Meet your guide In front of Restaurante Cordano, Jr. Áncash 202, Lima 15001, Peru. Please do not enter the restaurant, it is only a meeting point and the staff is not informed about the tour.
Private tour of Lima and let your expert Licensed Guide lead you through the city’s core, beginning at the stunning Basilica and Convent of San Francisco. Known for its striking architecture and famous catacombs, this basilica serves as the perfect introduction to Lima’s historic grandeur.
Archbishops Palace
Next, we move to the Archbishop’s Palace, an architectural masterpiece adorned with intricate wooden balconies, a signature of Lima’s colonial style. Just steps away is the grand Government Palace, standing tall as the residence of Peru’s president and a beacon of the nation’s political history.
As we stroll through the Main Square, feel the pulse of Lima’s history. Here, surrounded by beautiful colonial buildings, your guide will share stories of Spanish explorers and the city’s role in shaping Peru.
Just a short walk away lies the majestic Lima Cathedral, with its towering facade and storied interior that reflects over 400 years of history. Continuing the journey,
we visit the Church of La Merced, a lesser-known gem with a richly decorated Baroque facade that captures Lima’s artistic spirit.
The tour doesn’t stop at the well-known landmarks. We venture to St. Martin Square, a lively space where locals gather and history unfolds in statues and memorials dedicated to Peru’s independence. Along the way, your guide will reveal hidden details, like the symbols embedded in the architecture and the legends surrounding these ancient streets. Every step of this journey brings you closer to Lima’s cultural heritage, with your Licensed Guide’s expertise making each story come alive. This private tour offers not just sights but an authentic connection to the city’s soul, providing insights and memories that you won’t find in guidebooks. Ideal for families, couples, or solo travellers, our private tours ensure a personalised, exclusive experience far beyond the standard group tour.
