    Beautiful experience

    We made the 2-day excursion to lima departing from the port of callao. Everything absolutely perfect! Professional and very good guides. Available for any information. We shot files far and wide with calm and comfort. The ruins of Pachacamac were an incredible discovery and on the second day the visit to some markets an incredible experience of flavors, colors and smells!. Non-tourist markets in close contact with locals. Thanks for everything Jean Paul, Pamela y Alex!! Thank you PERU! We recommend it to everyone!

    The best of Lima in 2 days .

    Our day 1 guide , RENso is one of the very best guides we have had . He is very articulate and speaks perfect English. The tour under the hot sun to the sanctuary of Pachacamac was quite exhausting but We enjoy his ways of presentation . We also learned the secrets of mysterious catacombs . The light shows at 7.15 pm was a must see . Day 2 tour was an interesting foodie tour .. Ann our guide is sweet and we enjoyed her presentation and also the delicious fruits and Peruvians staple dishes . Chaufa . Peruvian Fried Rice and ceviche .

    Glad we took this tour in Lima

    The tour guides on both days were knowledgeable about Peruvian culture, history, food. We were impressed with Pachacamac Museum & Archaeologist site. Climbing up the steep hill was a challenge. We enjoyed the exotic local fruits & the dishes. If we weren't on this tour, we won't have tasted so many varieties. The management at Peruvian Windowview kept close contact with us. They were able to make adjustments. Glad we took this tour.

    Couldn’t have asked for a better all-encompassing experience

    It’s hard to believe we were able to cover as much as we did in two days! Our guide, Pamela, did a great job of showing and explaining the history and culture.

    For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $175 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 For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days?

    +

    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 For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days?

    +

    Around 3 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days 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, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. 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 For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, 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 For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days?

    Is For Cruisers! The Best Choice to Experience Lima in 2 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?
