Really good cathedral to visit, cost 30 sol to enter, OK for price, normally not impressed to be charged to walk into a place of worship but this cathedral worth it. Most cathedrals you walk in and walk out after 5 minutes, however Lima cathedral has lots to see and hundreds of years of history to explore. Loved the crypts of the archbishops beneath the alter, and the area to see original foundations of the church. Make sure you visit while seeing Plaza Mayor and presidential palace.
Berenice was very informative.
Berenice was very friendly and knowledgeable, it was a great tour to learn more about the history of Peru!

The tour was fascinating. Our guide Rosemary was very friendly and did a great job introducing the history of the cathedral and catacombs. I highly recommend! Thank you!
We went as a family and got in in the afternoon. They allow taking photo inside. The official guide was very professional and knew what he was talking.
Our guide Miguel made our visit very pleasant. Very well prepared and with lots of stories to tell . The Cathedral of Lima shout be on your visit list while in Lima. Recommend the place and the guide. Thanks
Our guide was so patient and very informative. Well spoken and enthusiastic. He made the experience fun and interactive, answered all of our questions.
Impressive structure and nicely done. The church shows a lot of handwork. We got a tour which is included within the price by Danitza. She had profound knowledge of the church and helped us to understand and know things that were not written on any plate. Totally worth a visit, some parts of the church are unfortunately under construction.
The cathedral tour was very informative and our tour guide, Angelo, did a great job showing all there was to see. Highly recommend
Rosa Maria is an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend you take a tour with her.
Top experience. Ruth was a great guide and knew all about the art and story behind the elements of this magnificent cathedral. A highly recommended visit!
I tried coming to the cathedral several times, but finally this year I was able to visit. Had a wonderful, very informative tour and was able to hear the history of Peru during colonial times through the art in this church by a very knowledgeable, and art historian docent: Ruth Ramos.
Great visit to the church! There is a free English tour offered to us. Very interesting history and friendly staff. Highly recommended
Absolutely worth visiting. Rosa Maria was our amazing guide that talked not only about the cathedral but also about Peru’s interesting history. We joined a Spanish speaking group because we didn’t have time to wait for an English tour and she took time to translate for us as we were moving between exhibits. We learned a lot! Thank you.
Miguel has been an amazing guide. It was great to listen to someone who has such a passion for his work. Thank you, Miguel!
Dianna did such a great job. She welcomed us into the tour late after we tried the Spanish one but couldn’t quite keep up. Dianna was so kind and Knowledgeable and took time to ask us questions.
The english tour was absolutely stunning. The amount of information the guide gave us was so amazing and insightful. I would recommend this tour to everyone
Had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history of the Cathedral and the city, as well as answer questions we had.
Amazing tour and very informative, our guide was Mr. Jesus and I don’t think it can be done better, highly recommended! Lots of history and interesting facts.
Great tour with Rosa Maria. Very insightful! I would definitely do it again. The place is wow and the history incredible.

First, our guide Eduardo was very knowledgeable, answered all our question and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. I learned a lot about Peru’s religious history.
Miguel was very informative! beautiful artwork inside the cathedral. The tour was very informative. Lots of great history
Let me be honest…this tour was AMAZING! Honestly I was able to learn more about the Peruvian Cathedral and its history. Our guide Rosa Mariá was very nice and made everyone feel welcome. She did an outstanding job showing us around the museum and explaining things. p.s. - Knowing Spanish is recommended because it’s the primary language of the tour.
