Knowledgeable and experienced
The tourist fantastic Felix was very knowledgeable about all the things we wanted to see. If it were not for Felix, we would not have seen Lima and been exposed to so many cultural. Which we really enjoyed. We would highly recommend Felix. He was flexible and fun while being exceptionally knowledgeable. Our only issue with this Tours was taking the bus whichwas very crowded and uncomfortable. This would’ve been better if we had Uber or a driver to and from Lima back to Mira Flores.

DO NOT BOOK - they cancel last minute…
DO NOT BOOK! At 7:30am the morning of our tour (booked for 9am) they say they have no guide and can only offer 2pm, 4pm or 6pm. Who starts a full day tour at 2pm? We booked this several days in advance and now won’t be able to have a tour of the city due to the last minute cancellation and everything else being booked… HORRIBLE.
Response from the operator: Good morning, we understand your displeasure, but our original guide had a personal issue and was unable to pick you up, so we offered you other options. If the tour started at 2:00 p.m. and ended at 6:00 p.m., the tour you booked was only four hours, not a full day. This does not reflect the excellent service we provide as guides.

Lima Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Private Walking 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 Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 66 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 Private Walking 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 Private Walking 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 Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 23 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 Private Walking 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 Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs.. 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.

+
