Do not use this company!
Is it possible to give a Zero? When we got to the site, it turns out that it is closed on Mondays. They actually booked us on this visit on a Monday for a location that is not open on Mondays. We were driven all the way there only to find the gate closed. The guide said "Oh, I was here yesterday and they didn't tell me it would be closed today." At which point we looked the site up on google and found that it is closed every Monday!! We have not yet received our reimbursement. So we lost a day of our vacation, as we would have scheduled a different visit, had we known that this site was closed on Mondays. And we lost the funds that we paid for the visit, since have not yet received reimbursement. Do not book with this company!

Botched booking to Pachacamac
Pachacamac is a large and interesting site, but due to its age it is badly ruined. If you are interested in ruins it is a good choice, and very close to Lima. Our guide (Felix) did a good job, and the small museum there was quite interesting, but the tour was somewhat limited on exploring the huge site (probably kind of inevitable, and maybe fine for most folks). The low rating is because the operator, Lima City Tours bungled our booking: we booked two days in advance, no one showed up, fortunately our hotel (Hotel Diamond) staff was very helpful in calling the operator, they denied there was any booking, provided reservation info etc, still denied it, and only after finally pulling up credit card charge and texting it to them did they finally figure out that we had booked. They rescheduled the tour a few hours later, but this entirely screwed-up our plans for the day (a half-day tour ended up burning our whole day). Suggested they might make things right by compensating us with a partial refund, they never responded to the request. But if you have extra time in Lima, and like ruins, go to Pachacamac.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, Thanks for writing your review. And we apologize for our mistake because we did not see your reservation. We are so sorry for that. At the end we found it and we arrange everything for you in order to give you a great tour. Thanks for understanding. Regards, Lima City Tours

Great Lima Tours to Discovery Incan History
I went on the Pachacamac and Lima City tours, both with great guide named Enrique. Both tours were terrific. You learn about Incan culture at holy site of Pachacamac and at the fabulous Larco Museum. I highly recommend both tours.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, Thanks a lot for writing us a nice review. We appreciate a lot your time for it. It is good to know that you had enjoyed our tours. Thanks for recommending. The best for your wife and you. Regards, Lima City Tours

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Pachacamac Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Private Pachacamac Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Pachacamac Tour 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 Private Pachacamac Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.7/5 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 Private Pachacamac 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 Private Pachacamac Tour 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 Private Pachacamac Tour?
+
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 Private Pachacamac 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, 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.
