Bite size Fun Tour!
The tour was very well planned and executed. Pickup arrived a little earlier than stated but they communicated with us via WhatsApp so we were all on the same page. The market tour was very educational and fun. I enjoyed tasting some of Peru’s local fruits and the Pisco tasting stop was a fun highlight! The Catacombs was what I truly was interested in and our guide Klaudia was very versed on the Church and history of Peru so she provided excellent information and overall gave an enjoyable tour!

Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) 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 Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 325 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off)?
+
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 Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off)?
+
Around 114 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) 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 Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off)?
+
Included: Official Tour Guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; Tickets to the Catacombs; and Tour in the Historic Center of Lima. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 428 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lima City, Central Market & Catacombs Tour (Pick-up & Drop Off) 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.
