    Excellent tour

    We enjoyed the first full day tour with JJ. He is kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He treated us with local dessert and a keychain. The lunch & dinner were delicious. Unfortunately we could not make it for the 2nd day tour. However, we heard good report about it from our tour-mates.

    Response from the operator: Thank you! We are delighted you had such a positive first day with JJ. He always strives to be kind and knowledgeable, and he’ll be happy to know you enjoyed the local dessert and the little souvenir. We are sorry you couldn't make it for the second day, but we hope to welcome you back in the future to complete the experience! Best regards, Marketing Team

    Excellent value for money

    This was an excellent option if you have an overnight stay or 2 day stop on a cruise. It is very well organised with great guides and drivers and very comfortable vans. The information we received throughout the 2 days was excellent, there is a lot of walking required but relatively flat. Meals were absolutely amazing. Would totally recommend

    Lima by day and night.

    This was a fantastic 2 day tour. It commenced with a visit to the settlement area to experience the work done by local women to enhance the lifestyle of the residents. Very sobering but wonderful visit. This was followed by a delicious lunch of local food. We then travelled to the historical centre of the city to see the beautiful buildings and the fascinating catacombs. Another meal was followed by a visit to the water park. A long but great day. The second day was a visit to the desert to see ancient Inca ruins. Amazing.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to know you had such a rich and meaningful experience during the two-day tour. From the valuable community service to the desert landscapes and Inca history, it was truly an unforgettable adventure! A. Bardalez Marketing Team

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your comment! We're glad to know that Silvana and Carlos made your experience so personal and enjoyable. Their dedication and attention make all the difference. We're so glad you enjoyed lunch too! A. Bardalez Marketing Team

    Thank you to Haku Tours - the Best Experience

    We did two separate one day excursions with Haku Tours in Lima on 1 and 2 September 2025. We did them both with a guide and driver. We deliberately chose a personal tour when we visited as part of a cruise and, while the cost is higher, we had an excellent experience. We were picked up and driven everywhere in comfort. We had one to one interaction for the whole day and we learned so much. We could modify times and (for a very small extra cost) even our itinerary. Everything was just perfect. The guide and driver were both helpful and informative and very attentive to our needs. Definitely a 10!

    Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port cost?

    +

    Prices start at $225 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 Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port?

    +

    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 Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port?

    +

    Around 8 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port 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 Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port?

    +

    Included: Local snacks; Bottled water; Professional guide; Entrance tickets to Pachacamac, the Catacombs and Magic Water Park; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities; Beverages; and Souvenirs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port?

    +

    Is Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Shore Excursion: 2-Day The Best of Lima from Callao Port if the weather is bad?
