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.

An excellent tour covering all the main highlights of Lima. I learnt a lot about local food and the history of Lima. Paulo was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide.
The tour was great and covered so much. Lunch was fantastic the catacombs the fishing port everything was interesting and fun Our guide Klaudia and our driver Henry were both great
Klaudia was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. She made the 7 hour tour very enjoyable! And Marcos was an excellent driver! Food tastings and lunch were fabulous!
This was a six hour tour. It was really interesting with several locations. It was fun to see such a diverse set of places. Lima is quite a beautiful city. Ask for Kaudia for your guide. She knows a lot about the city and the locations we visited, and she made the whole experience amazing!
Thanks again to Paolo for that informative and enjoyable Lima Tour. We had a blast at this tour. So many things covered- places, food, historical facts and did enjoy the rapport and conversation with the other guests. Paolo is a super duper knowledgable tour guide. EXCELLENT one indeed.
My husband and I really enjoyed all the knowledge that Alexander knew about Lima and Peru. He was a fascinating guide and we learned so much.
The guide took me to special Lima places that I would not otherwise visit: a pre inca archeologital site, Fishermans Warf, the Love park, Baranco: a nice neighborhood, Don Cevichero: a local restaurant far away from touristhoods, the Catacombs and last Plaza de Armas. Go with the tour and see also different places away from tourists.
This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Lima! It was a small group of just four people - myself, another solo traveler, and a couple - which made the experience feel personal and relaxed. The itinerary was fantastic. We saw so much of Lima in one day, from the historic center and its fascinating history to the different neighborhoods, markets, and cultural highlights. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the day had a great balance of sightseeing, history, culture, and food without feeling rushed. The food was another highlight. Everything we tried was delicious, and I loved that the tour incorporated local flavors and gave us the opportunity to experience Lima through its food as well. Our driver, Eduardo, was wonderful. The van was clean and comfortable, and Eduardo was professional, friendly, and an excellent driver. Having reliable transportation throughout the day made the experience so easy and enjoyable. But the absolute star of the tour was our guide, Claudia. She was truly exceptional. Claudia was knowledgeable, warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about Lima and its history. Her storytelling brought the places we visited to life, and she had a wonderful way of making everyone feel included and comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and getting the most out of the day. Claudia and Eduardo made an already excellent itinerary into a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima - and if you’re lucky enough to have Claudia as your guide, you’re in for a treat! Five stars all around!

We booked this tour on short notice (night before) and we're pleasantly surprised to discover were were the only two on the tour - so a private tour!! Karolina was our guide and we also had a driver so Karolina was able to speak to us without distraction and communicate with the driver on dropoffs and pickups at the different locations we visited. At each stop we were given the opportunity to walk around while Karolina explained the area of the city and talked knowledgeably about Peruvian history and culture. Each stop had it own personality and we got a good feeling for the area and personality of the neighborhood. Each stop was unique and the tour gave us great insight into the city. We went to: 1. Fishermans Wharf 2. Barranco neighborhhood 3. Love Park 4. Hauca Pucllana 5. Local market for tasting of unique fruits 6. Cevicherria 7. Plaza de Aarmas 8. San Francisco Monestary and Catacombs We were also fortunate to be touring during the Santa Rosa festival so we were able to view the procession and the beautiful street art. The included lunch was also delicious and our guide called ahead to order so we didn't have long wait.
