Overall it was a very good tour. Our tour guide spoke to us in English and was very knowledgeable about Peruvian history. He was very personable and efficient in our time that we had together. Would highly recommend.

Itinerary
We will pass by important emblematic places such as the Archaeological Center of Huaca Pucllana (visit from outside), the oldest evidence of Miraflores built 1500 years ago, then we will appreciate beautiful republican residences of European and American influence that are preserved in Miraflores. The bus will continue to San Isidro (the financial capital ) modern and exclusive district of the city.
We will continue to El Parque de la Reserva, a historic place where Peruvian reservists gathered to defend our city during the Pacific War conflict, today a popular city park called the Magic Water Circuit created in 2007 and holds the Guinness Record for being the largest fountain complex in the world in a public park. (visit from outside)
After, we will visit the colonial city, the place that was the capital of the viceroyalty of Peru of Spain, where we can see colonial mansions, balconies, palaces, Plaza San Martín, an important public space that bears the name of the liberator of Peru Don José de San Martín who proclaims the independence of Peru on July 28, 1821, then we will walk through the pedestrian streets of the historic center with the guide where we will visit the Plaza Mayor or Plaza de Armas, the place where the most important buildings of the government of Peru are located, such as the Palace Presidential, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, the Archbishop's Palace, the Union Club and the Cathedral of Lima.
You will visit the convent of San Francisco de Lima and its famous catacombs. The tour of the Lima catacombs is completely underground and lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Admire the vaults built with brick, lime and stone, while at the bottom you can see how the bodies were arranged for better distribution.

It is listed as approximately 4 hours and it was almost 5 hours by time we were done. The guide was very kind but was a bit soft spoken and made it hard to hear. The bus can be very windy and chilly depending on the day.
Good time during this visit around Lima. The bus is in very good shape, the guide was bilingual and all was clear. I recommand
Great tour around the city alot interesting facts one learn would recommend to anyone visiting the city of lima me and the family enjoyed it a lot
When arriving in a new city, these type of tour busses usually provide a good way to have you see some of the main areas you may not want to miss. This one did not disappoint. The rooftop gives a nice way to get above traffic and fences, giving a relatively good view. It traversed much of the main Lima districts. Part of the tour is a walking tour and church/catacombs visit which I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for this tour. Near the end the guide gave the option of returning to the originating point or staying at the city center. I chose to stay and explore and get back on my own. Would really recommend to anyone who is visiting Lima for the first time.
Great tour of Lima. Bring snacks as the tour was quite long. Included a stop at the cathedral and a stop at a souvenir shop where we tasted various pisco sours.
We were only in Lima for one day in-route to Cusco and this is an ideal way to do Lima in one day in order to see all the main sights.
Great value, Guide was excellent and very good value for money. We recommand , we had such a good time.
Excellent walk through the city and downtown Lima. Although it was just Fiestas Patrias and it was a sea of people we could enjoy a beautiful walk and just hooked a dance show in the celebrations in the Plaza de Armas 🇵🇪 Thanks to the directions of our guide everything was perfect.
We took a panoramic bus tour to see Lima. The bus met the basics, and the guide did his best to make sure this huge group of tourists could hear his story (without a megaphone). The departure time is inappropriate because you can't avoid the heat, you'll be sunbathed the entire walk, and you'll miss your lunch break.
You get a good overview of Lima, see Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid, the financial district of the city and the old town of Lima, which you can explore on foot. Finally, there was a pisco tasting.
Short walk, but very good for those who are passing and want to know a little bit of Lima. This excursion takes you through emblematic places of Lima, such as the much mentioned catacombs and Huaca Pucllana, which was like a ceremonial center of the ancient inhabitants. I recommend wearing glasses and cream to take care of the sun's skin, as it is intense these days. Thanks for the welcome!
Muy decepcionado con la experiencia. Nuestra reserva incluía 2 visitas de 30 minutos a la Huaca Pucllana y al Parque Magico del Agua que no se cumplieron. Pedí el reembolso de 50% y no me lo dieron. Una verdadera vergüenza. Nadie de la empresa Viator o Trip Advisor se comunico conmigo.
Tous le parcours es fabuleux. L’endroit es facile à trouver et le tour es parti à l’heure. Nous aurions apprécier cependant une pause pour manger ou acheter quand nous étions près de la cathédrale sans Francisco. D’ailleurs le tour des catacombes pourrais être un peu plus cour. Merci Nicolas Québec Canada
