Good to Know

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!

Wonderful tour!

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!

Beautiful Lima

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.

A fun way to learn about a new culture

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 Perfect Way to Experience Lima!

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.

Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the day had a great balance of sightseeing, history, culture, and food with...read more
