Itinerary

  • Plaza San Martin

    Our first stop on the historic city-center portion of our tour. Here we recognize one of Peru's most well-known liberators, Jose de San Martin.

    10 minutes

  • Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas

    Also known as the St. Francis Monastery in English, the church and convent were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991. The site contains a world-renown library with about 25,000 antique texts and in the catacombs beneath it is estimated that this same number of people were laid to rest. Today you can explore the once hidden passages and observe the uniquely displayed remains of first Limeños.

    1 hour

  • Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor)

    Here we will spend a few minutes in the heart of Lima. The Plaza de Armas is home to the Presidential Palace, Arch Bishop's Palace, Cathedral and Municipal buildings and can oftentimes be a lively place filled with people and various forms of entertainment.

    30 minutes

  • Museo Larco

    Built atop a seventh century pyramid, this vice-royal mansion is a site to see with its beautifully cared for gardens; you will find yourself snapping photos of the grounds as much so as the relics inside. The portion of the tour consists of captivating history, a 45,000-piece store of antiquities and an intriguing erotic collection (this room can be left out if touring with younger children.) Afterwards we will have time to enjoy a delicious lunch surrounded by colorful gardens on the outdoor patio of the museum cafe.

    2 hours

  • Huaca Pucllana

    A brief stop to observe Lima's most famous solid pyramid used as a ceremonial site for the Lima culture during the years of 200 to 700 AD. A full tour of the site is not taken, only observed from the outside.

    20 minutes

  • El Parque del Amor

    An artistic park located on the sea-side cliffs of Miraflores. Observe the para gliders sailing over head and local young couples strolling along the paths dedicated to lovers everywhere. A great place to snap a quick photo of you and a loved one!

    20 minutes

  • Miraflores

    See the more contemporary side of Lima with it's ocean side views and beautiful parks. Included in this portion of the tour are stops at the Huaca Pucllana and Parque de Amor (Love Park.)

    45 minutes

  • Morro Solar

    Sitting at roughly 251 meters above sea level, you will get a wonderful view of the Pacific Coastline, Chorrillos Bay an the Shanty towns below. Often overlooked on other tours, this can be the highlight of ours!

Great Private all day tour of Lima

Published on Mar, 2025

It was an awesome tour. Natalie (guide) and Jorge (driver) were the best. Very friendly. Natalie was extremely knowledgeable in everything we asked and were shown. Such a great tour and felt like family by the end. Highly Recommended.

Lima in a Day

Published on Feb, 2025

We managed to see all the important sites in Lima in a day and was hard work but well worth every minute

Wonderful private tour of Lima

Published on Feb, 2025

We booked this tour to do after getting off the cruise ship and before our evening flight. It was a great way to spend the day and see Lima. Mily did a great job of showing us the highlights and adjusting the tour for things we had already seen. Hector, our driver, did a good job - he was always safe and the car was very clean.
