Perfect introduction to Miraflores Lima!
Arturo gave us a wonderful walking tour of Miraflores and the Surquillo Market. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. He included many cultural topics and local recommendations as he showed us the local highlights. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure showing you around Miraflores and the Surquillo Market. I always love tailoring the experience to my guests' unique interests and sharing the cultural stories that make Lima so special—from the history of Tarata Street to the vibrant life at Kennedy Park and the views at Larcomar. I hope your time in Peru continues to be filled with amazing moments and delicious local food! Safe travels!

An excpetional tour with tons of personal flourishes
The guide, Arturo, is a real Renaissance guy - knowledgeable about so many subjects, in a natural-born story teller sort of way. The Church at the meeting spot is incredibly impressive and the abutting Cat-Park is an interesting slice into the verve and style of Lima. Off to a good start. While there was an established itinerary, this tour also was a bit freestyle - first stop turned out to be a cozy coffee shop for a little history and sample of Peruvian coffee -- included. The market stop was a nice choice - it's a far smaller, less frenetic neighborhood market with little restaurants dotting each side. Not part of the tourist loop for sure, and 100% worth the visit. There is a good bit of light & healthy walking along the ocean, amidst loads of green space, art, and cute parks. Anyway, I promised Arturo I'd write a good review, as he's new to this and it's his company, just getting started... but he absolutely deserves this genuine sincerity - for the easy flow, full slice of Lima, natural "locals" kind of experience he has curated.
Response from the operator: Wow, thank you so much for this amazing feedback! I had a fantastic time chatting with you over that Peruvian coffee and exploring the neighborhood market together. Hearing that you enjoyed the easy flow and storytelling is the best compliment I could receive. I truly appreciate your support for my agency as we build these curated experiences. Wishing you safe travels and many more wonderful adventures ahead! PS: Looking foward for those hard liquors! :D

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience?
+
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 Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience?
+
Around 1 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience 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 Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience?
+

Where is the meeting point for Miraflores Guided Walking Tour and Surquillo Market Experience?
+
