Our experienced travel guide was Eduardo and he was very knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. We paid $98 for two people and the tour was about five hours long...supposed to be four hours but the traffic was horrible. The catacombs were creepy but quite interesting and it was pretty cool to know that there were actual monks living in the convent. Walking down the promenade full of shops and restaurants (and some churches) was very entertaining. We stopped for a Peruvian churro, courtesy of the tour, mine was filled with chocolate. Delicious! The Pisco Sour, invented in Peru, was excellent, very tart. Just what we needed after our sweet treat. Thank you Eduardo for a tremendous and informative tour, you were the perfect guide.

George was an amazing guide. The tour was long but we couldn’t see time passing because it was so entertaining and fun!!!
Marci made our Lima historic center walking tour an absolute highlight! She is incredibly warm, friendly, and brings a fantastic personal energy to the experience. Her depth of knowledge—especially when guiding us through the Catacombs—was impressive and engaging, making the history feel truly alive. Finishing off with a delicious, well-crafted Pisco Sour was the perfect touch. If you're exploring Lima's historic center, taking a tour with Marci is an absolute must!
The tour was amazing, and the time was perfect since it is not that sunny to walk around.
Great tour with Estefano, He was an amazing tour guide and showed me the San Francisco church. It was fun
Estéfano was the best tour guide ever!!! I highly recommend him. Patient, kind and knows every detail. Thank you Estéfano!
Very engaging and fun tour. It was a very educational tour and had a lot of fun.
Estefano was an excellent guide. His unique knowledge of the church of San Francisco really added to the tour. He did a fantastic job explaining the history and offer special insights. I highly recommend this tour.
We had a great tour with Mafer y Viviana. They picked us up at the assigned tourist shop with a private driver and we went right to the Catacombs. Take into account that driving from Miraflores in traffic is about 45 minutes each way, so the duration of the actual tour is a bit shorter. After the catacombs we toured the main squares and had a great Pisco Sour back in Miraflores. Mafer was knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. Vivi is also wonderful. We learned a lot and would book again.
Stephano best guide! Enjoyed my tour!
Estefano was an awesome guide very passionate great guy, it felt like i had a private tour with him. I recommend asking for him if you want to do the tour.
Maria Fernanda Vasquez was a supreme tour guide. She made me feel really at home on my first day in Peru—even energetically helping me practice my Spanish. She taught us all about the local history and did it with a fun attitude. I highly recommend any tour led by MaFer.
The girls, Jazmin and Mafer were so nice, well informed, well prepared. I was so lucky to be alone on the Miraflores tour with two guides, so I felt like a VIP 😄 Thank you for the experience!
Juancho was very friendly & knowledgeable about the history of of Lima. I enjoyed his energy. He made the tour very interactive ❤️
Did the walking tour through our hostel the bus fare and tip is so worth it for the amount of information and things you get to learn about. It is at a good pace and you see plenty of beautiful spots. Juancho was an amazing tour guide with great recommendations and a large knowledge about Lima.
Visiting from New York, Juancho gave a very informative tour with historical facts over almost 3hours on our tour, great experience!
Juancho and George were our guides for the walking tour. 100% recommend signing up for this. The stop at a large variety of places, including Peru signature fruits, snacks, and meals. Both are charismatic, answer all our questions and have good knowledge about Peru! Would do it again for sure :)
Estefano was our tour guide. 20/10 the experiencie. Very transparent. Easy going. Very acknowledge of the history and places. Awesome. 100% recommended.
There was a large group which was split between two guides - one speaking English and one, one Spanish. Mafer was our English speaking guide and was fantastic. She shared the facts and told stories around the facts to make it a very memorable tour. I thoroughly recommend this tour. If I were in town for longer I would have gone on the other available tours too. Thank you Mafer. 🙏
Great walking tour. Zaori, the guide, very knowledgeable and friendly 😀
The first 1.5h was spent collecting other participants befor the tour actually startet. The tour by Juancho was confucted like 2nd grade history classes. And if you are so adamant that you want at leadt 35 Sol each and even count the money before letting people leave don't call it a "free walking tour" that's based on tips but just sell tickets at 35 Sol.
Juan Carlos was great! I recommend if you'd like to know more about the history and culture of Lima
I was a nice experience with ruby. At the end we had three shots . One of the was nice other one , i don’t like a lot of. You need to figured out which one .
Our guide, Juancho, was terrific. He is incredibly knowledgeable and considerate. The tour combines historical facts, an “insider” view of history and contemporary events, and stops at several places for snacks and pisco sours. Highly recommend. While the tour is free, the guides work for tips. Currently, the recommended tip is 35 soles/person.
The tour was so great. Patsy and Allison explained everything so well and with passion. The pisco tasting was the cherry on the cake! Thank you so much
Patsy was a good guide and took good care of us. The city tour is well worth it and the Pisco tasting a fine finish thanks to Norman from Nietto
We had a great time on this walking tour. Very easy informative and fun!! Thank you to Alison and patsy :))
Good tour, good guides! No hidden costs either
Juancho, Vivi, and Claudia were great, energetic guides who showed us the best parts of Centro Historico. Really appreciated the small bits of trivia that kept the tour interesting!
We had such a great time! Our tour guide, Ruby, did an amzing job to show us the fascinating history and present of the historic center in Lima. I cant recommend this tour enough. Thank you!
We went on the tour through Miraflores with Zaori and it was really great! She was very talkative and we learnt a lot, not only about the district but also about Peruvian history and culture. If you go on this tour, I hope you have the chance to go with her as well as it will be an amazing experience :).
I booked the Walking Tour in Lima a week ago. We saw many things in Lima and learned about the history and some buildings. At the end of the Tour Rubi and Estefano brought as to a place where you could taste wine and pisco. I can recommend the tour to everyone who wants to See some important spots in the City, who wants to learn about the history and who wants to Taste pisco. Thanks to Rubi and Estefano
It was a great experience seeing all the old buildings and how rich the history of Lima is
Really good tour done with both Patsi and Zaore in Miraflores ! They explained us a lot of cool stuff about the city!
Thank you Ruby and Claudia! A perfect 5 star tour of Lima old town presented beautifully by these two amazing guides. Learnt so much not just about Lima old town but Lima and Peru in general and really helped to orientate us!

Juancho and Claudia amazing guide, very informativ and entertaining! Learned a lot about Lima and the history of Peru!
Great walking tour of Lima, you get to visit a Pisco shop for some tastings at the end. Great way to explore and meet people :)
Had a great experience, Juancho did a great job explaining everything and made it fun. There was only about 10 people in the group which was a nice size too
Our tour with Juancho was the perfect start to our Lima experience. We saw a lot of interesting architecture and got a first insight to the local drinks and dishes. Juancho was very kind and helpful, always keeping us in the shadows of the Lima sun :) 10/10 experience, thank you!!
Amazing free walking tour through the Lima historic center! Rubi Puma the guide was incredible! She gave us a lot of infos and curiosity during thw tour and we ended it with a Pisco tasting! Very recomended!
We had an amazing tour with Nicole and Mafer. Both were full of energy and did a wonderful job sharing insightful and interesting information about Lima and its neighboring districts. They made the experience engaging and fun from start to finish. Highly recommend!
We were really glad to do this tour with Valerie, we saw the gorgeous building in the center of Lima. I recommand this small expedition, it was easy and interessing !
Juancho was a fantastic guide. Very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The Pisco tasting was a great way to end the tour!
Great walking tour with Juancho! He was extremely knowledgeable, funny and passionate about the culture and history. Had a lovely time!!
Rodrigo did amazing! We did the tour through our hostel. Most of us not knowing each other and Rodrigo Funes making us all friends at the end! Some really great facts as well as restraint recommendations which some of us did go get Chifa per Rodrigo’s recommendation and it was amazing!! Definitely would do it again.
Juancho is the best guide !! He explain everything and taking his time, i recommend to do this tour with him. Didn’t expect Lima to bes this beautifull
Very informative, professional, friendly and helpful guide. Rodrigo is highly recommended. We asked for dishes to try after the tour and he took the time to explain and where to go. Also safety advise.
Very well organised tour of Lima Centre, with multiple stops along the way with detailed explanations at each stop, our guide on the day Rubi was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions the group had, the tour didn't feel rushed and moved at nice pace, our guide Rubi was also able to give multiple recommendations for food/museums etc if you decided to stay in the centre, a good tour if it is your first thing to Lima to get your bearings, would recommend.
An essential tour for any travellers new to Lima. Claudia, Rubi and the gang were fun and very informative. A really memorable day recommended to all!
