    Highly recommend Lima Mentor for tours.

    We had a wonderful tour seeing the sites of Lima and surrounds. One day we had a half day tour of the downtown area, and the second day we had a tour of Pachacarmac and Barranco and Miraflores. Our guide was Andy, and the driver Oscar both days. Andy’s English skills are exceptional, and he was sensitive to our needs (including going above and beyond in helping us find the place with the best rates to change money and getting us to the place to go that had a piece of jewelry we wanted. Andy’s knowledge of history was very good, and as my husband and I both want to know about the history of the area he made sure our questions were answered. Andy and Oscar were on time, and I am so glad we arranged a private tour, as we could spend extra time at Pachacarmac (as we requested) and really take in the history of this amazing site. We wanted lunch at a place the locals like, and not a touristy hotel. Did Andy ever deliver. We ate at an open air market and were the only tourists there. The food was AMAZING.

    Andreas(Andy) our guide was very professional and knowledgeable with helpful details and insights that made this one of the most enjoyable tours for us. Oscar the driver was on time and kept us safe in a mad house of traffic. He also went beyond by helping us out of the vehicle with a genuine warm smile This guys worked as a team and treated us like family. Thank you the wonderful day in Lima.

    Lima Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lima Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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 Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 16 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 Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group 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 Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lima Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lima Highlights & Larco Museum Small-Group 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.
