1 hr late for pick up
1 hr late for pick up from hotel. Sent a taxi to collect us, very little information given as to where we were meeting the guide. No apology from guide. Brief city tour. Guide insisted on taking our photo as to prove that we had seen the sights - we did not want our picture taken. Taxi back to hotel hands were black from touching seat. We choose this tour because of different start times to other private tour offerings but not value for money.

Very disappointed- not worthed
They arrived 50 minutes late, the tour didn’t last 3 hours and they didn’t pay the entrance fees as it was advertised. The guide was ok. Too expensive for what it gives....

<p>We had an amazing guide - Johnny and driver Alejandro !!! They made our day awesome! Catered the tour to our needs and wants even took us for churros! Can't recommend these two enough!!!</p>

Our cruise ships arrival was delayed...
<p>Our cruise ships arrival was delayed by fog but we still managed to meet up with the tour guide who provided a great tour of Lima despite having to cut back from 4 hours to 3. The driver was able to take us directly back to the port rather than dropping us at the shuttle pick up spot. Kudos to Enrique for providing a tour that was superior to the ships offering as described by a fellow passenger</p>

Our tour was wonderful. The tour...
<p>Our tour was wonderful. The tour guide was passionate about the city. He brought us to places large tour buses could not get to so we got a real flavor of the city. It was very hard finding a tour from the cruise port. It was wonderful getting to the pick up spot and having our driver there. One note the location currently used to pick up tours is not in a very good part of town so stay within the confines of the area to wait for your driver. Don't drive in Lima the drivers are crazy!!!!</p>

Private Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Private Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers. cost?
+
Prices start at $115 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 Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers. 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 Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers.?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers. 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 Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers.?
+
Around 4 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 Lima City Tour. Special tour for Cruise Passengers. 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.

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.
