    A genuine VIP experience - 10 stars!!!

    This deserves a 10 star rating!! We had the most wonderful day touring in Lima and everything was far better than our expectations. By the end of the day we had a thorough overview of Lima and Peruvian history. The car and driver were top class and the sites we visited were fascinating. Even the lunch stop was fabulous! We could not have asked for a better day out. The star of the day was our tour guide David Jhonnson Enriquez Olarte . He is a charming, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He imparts exactly the right amount of information and seems to have the answer to every question! He clearly loves his city and his culture and the passion is infectious. We also very much appreciated that he started the tour by asking us what we wanted to achieve and then tailored our stops to match - he even took us to exactly the shopping stops we were looking for. If we had more time in Lima we would be booking this company and this guide again! PS : It is very reasonably priced!

    Lima City Tour and Museo Larco

    Our tour guide Valeria was very knowledgeable in giving us a good, historical background of the cathedral, catacombs, other sites around Lima. She also explained the history of the artifacts in Museo Larco. Her fluency in English made it very easy for us. We were able to spend time at each site to our satisfaction and never felt rushed. She also took great photos of us !! I would recommend her wholeheartedly !!

    Valeria Novoa came to pick me up at the hotel on schedule and took wonderful pictures for me traveling alone in a scenic place. Thanks to her, I was able to make the best memories in Lima.

    Nice 3 to 4 hour tour of lima

    I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Valeria was very kind and knowledgeable. She went back-and-forth between Spanish and English to make sure everyone understood the information. I would definitely recommend her for a tour.

    A Happy Afternoon

    I really enjoyed my time with this city tour of Lima. We went to Lovers park, the catacombs in the downtown and temple ruins. We were a small group and I was the only English speaking person - though I am a beginner at studying Spanish. Our guide David Jhonnson was inclusive and even helped me with my Spanish. He was knowledgeable and easy to be around. My group was really great and I felt like I was in the trusting hands of friends. Also, knowing that I was interested in the Peruvian gastro experience, he made a fantastic recommendation for a reasonably priced yet high end restaurant close to my hotel called Xona. And given that I wasn’t using my cellular data, he even made my reservation for me. I loved the restaurant! Thank you!!

    City Tour Lima City of Kings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does City Tour Lima City of Kings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does City Tour Lima City of Kings take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.

    Is City Tour Lima City of Kings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour Lima City of Kings?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is City Tour Lima City of Kings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book City Tour Lima City of Kings?

    +

    Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 3.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does City Tour Lima City of Kings start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lima?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lima?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lima?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in City Tour Lima City of Kings?

    +

    Included: Visit to the Chocomuseum; Visit to handicraft shops; All Fees and Taxes; Official Tourism Guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance to the Huaca Pucllana. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does City Tour Lima City of Kings include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 170 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 25 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is City Tour Lima City of Kings offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for City Tour Lima City of Kings?

    +

    Is City Tour Lima City of Kings wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to City Tour Lima City of Kings if the weather is bad?

    +
