    Great, personalized tour

    We took a private city tour of Lima, led by the wonderful Yahaira! She brought us to the picturesque Lovers Park in Miraflores, which was reminiscent of Gaudi's park in Barcelona, then to an ancient pyramid also in Miraflores. All the while, she told us about the history of Peru and Lima, then led us around the city-center, with an in-depth tour of the cathedral and catacombs. Afterwards she brought us to a local store where we did a pisco tasting (I'm partial to the passion fruit infused pisco!). We were very pleased with this tour. Then two days later we were greatly surprised and pleased that she returned to lead us on a local food tour where we had tropical fruit samples at a local market, then went to a restaurant where we were taught how to make our own pisco sours and watched as a chef demonstrated how to make ceviche which became the appetizer for our Peruvian lunch. Another fantastic experience thanks to Yahaira!

    Well worth it. A must do in Lima!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Lima VIP tours. We did the $35 city tour and we were impressed with the tour and the time we were given at each stop. We were especially impressed with the knowledge and hospitality of our guide, Jasmine! Highly recommend this tour!!

    Great Experience - Ask for Brian as a guide!

    The day was amazing - could not recommend more and capped off by a thrilling experience on dune buggy’s in the sand dunes! Brian, our guide, was excellent! He is extremely kind, attentive, and showed us to all our stops efficiently and on time. When booking this trip, make sure you ask for Brian!

    Lima City Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour.: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lima City Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour. 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 Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour. 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 Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 74 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 Lima City Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour.?

    +

    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 Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour. 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 Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour.?

    +

    Around 26 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 Tour. Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Tour. 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 Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima, Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset, Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast. 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.
