Lots of walking and little use of the bus
I don't recommend it. I bought a tour to downtown Lima (100 soles per person). There were three of us, including a person over 80 years old (I specified it in the purchase, and they told me the walks were short). The bus was only used practically for the transfer to downtown Lima and from there we walked more than 4 blocks to reach Plaza Mayor and then to the Church of San Francisco. Then we had to walk back again. We had to look for a taxi as my family could no longer walk (we had been walking relentlessly for two hours). It should be said that the driver was also very irresponsible because he ran the red lights. Besides the belts up front, they didn't work. A service I will not take again or recommend.

Lima, culture and tradition
Very nice to meet Lima on a tourist bus. Rich in religious, political, social, economic and cultural history, but that the ACTUAL reality of the economy leaves much to be desired.

Buen City tour
Good option if you don't know and you don't have how to move in lime to have an overview of the area.... they were very friendly and picked us up on the way as we didn't reach the schedule of the game.... it leaves from miraflores , saint isidro passes by the square of arms and saint martin square to know the historical center of lime, where the guide goes down with the group to tell the story, then continues to the church where the catacombs are. Photos are not allowed but it is an interesting place to visit. A good walk!! All very friendly

Oh, bad. Use Metro
Oh, bad. Use the subway. Chaotic traffic. Very hot. Smell of diesel from the bus all the time. I'll never go again. A bad idea

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco 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 Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 23 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 Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco?
+
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 Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco?
+
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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour Lima de día en bus panorámico + Catacumbas de San Francisco 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 Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting, The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture & Flavors, #1 Rated Lima Cooking Class: Make Ceviche, Causa & Pisco Sours!. 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.
