    Making the most of 1.5 days in Lima

    Jordan was awesome! Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks very good English, and went above and beyond to make our experience in Lima the best possible. Aside from a great tour to make the most of our short time in Lima, he arranged cabs to reduce the required walking distance for one member of our group who had difficulty walking, and he scheduled multiple airport pickups and dropoffs for our large group, among other things. Highly recommend, and I’ll certainly work with him again if I’m lucky enough to get to return to Perú!

    Really a good way to see Lima.

    Jordan was a wonderful tour guide. He spoke perfect English and was super knowledgeable about all aspects of Lima and Peru’s history and presented it clearly. He was very flexible and able to adjust as needed to not repeat info (and fruit tastings) that we’d already done.

    Fantastic visit to Lima, I loved it!

    A friend recommended the agency Kultour Peru. and he told me that they were one of the best, the truth was that it was fantastic to have Jordan as a guide, he explained us very well the whole city and Lima, we visited the local markets and the history was fabulous, he has great knowledge of his country and the world, the truth is Excellent Guide, his French is very easy to understand, and he also speaks English and Portuguese... I really recommend this company if you come to Peru, the tours are personalized and it makes the experience more rewarding.

    Great visit to the historic center of Lima!

    Punctuality of the appointment, very friendly guide, smiling and who taught us a lot about Lima and Peru! We were lucky enough to have a private tour in French with Jordan Mendieta Tiza and our super driver José. We can see that Jordan loves his work and his country and it was a pleasure to listen to him! Visit to recommend 100%!!

    Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup, c'est vraiment génial que vous ayez pu vivre une expérience fantastique dans le centre de la ville de Lima, nous espérons que vous allez très bien et que Dieu vous bénit, salutations de notre beau Pérou mes grands amis.

    LIMA: City Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does LIMA: City Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market 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 Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market?

    +

    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 Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market 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 Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market?

    +

    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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does LIMA: City Walking Tour with Catacombs + Local Market 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.
