About this experience
If you want to have fun and on the way learn about the City of the Kings' history, here is your tour. Travel Buddies is going to pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to see the Huaca Pucllana. This ancient temple is a great adobe and clay pyramid located in the Miraflores district of central Lima. Continuing with the itinerary the next stop is at the Historical Center of Lima where we are going to appreciate the republican and colonial architecture that is going to make us feel like we are in Europe. This walk around the city center includes “Plaza San Martin” and “Plaza Mayor”, considered by Unesco as Human Cultural Patrimony since 2000. After “Plaza Mayor” it is time to visit San Francisco Convent, this place is famous because of the beautiful architecture and colonial art. Something you won't miss is the opportunity to go down at the catacombs, one of the first cemeteries in South America In the end we will drive you back to your hotel in our private transportation.

Lima City Tour Highlights with Miguel
I had a wonderful experience with my tour guide, Miguel. I was fortunate to have a private tour of Lima, which made the experience even more special. Miguel showed me several fascinating sites, including the Santo Domingo Monastery, Plaza de Armas, and the Bodega y Quadra Museum. He was incredibly accommodating, especially since I wanted to visit churches and browse local shops along the way. To top it off, he introduced me to a variety of pisco tastings and all of them were delicious! I highly recommend touring with Miguel for a memorable and personalized experience.

Transfers and multiple tours - ALL FANTASTIC!
Travel Buddies provided us with airport pickups (Ayeman), two customized all day tours (guide Ruddi, driver Pedro) and a Food Walking tour (guide Miguel). The response from the owner (Caesar) was almost immediate and he met me at the beginning to the food tour to introduce himself and thank me for my business. Ayeman was holding signs for us at the airport and was so very courteous and the transportation clean with excellent AC. (He waited for four hours in the middle of the night for one of our group who had missed the earlier flight) I was the only one on the food tour & was surprised they didn't cancel, but was informed they never cancel tours for low numbers which is unusual in my experience. The stops on the tour were diverse and the food delicious. Miguel had lots of wonderful information to share about his city & he insisted on carrying a 40 pound box of school supplies that I was taking to a local school for me for 2 hours! That was above and beyond the call of duty! Rudi did an excellent job herding around 8 ladies! We did a shopping tour on one day and a city highlights tour on the next day with transfers from our hotel and pick up and drop off at the Calleo cruise terminal. His driver Pedro was so polite and kind and helped the ladies on and off the bus and carried shopping purchases! We had lunch at the Larco museum (not included but excellent) and also at a beautiful old house (included). Rudi did an excellent job anticipating the needs and desires of our group and we all agreed the three days we spent with Travel Buddies could NOT HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. I would look no further if I was needing transfers and tours in Lima and their prices are great too!

City tour excellent
Me and my boyfriend did the city tour with Jonathan. He was really nice and prepared, he explained everything in Spanish and English. And gave us also recommendations where to eat.

Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima 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 Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima?
+
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 Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima 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 Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima?
+
Around 2 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 Private Classic City Tour Experience of Lima 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, 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.
