I cannot overstate how good this tour is. The cemetery was beautiful and our guide knew so many histories of the people who were laid to rest there. It was a solemn experience and one I would recommend to anyone.

We had a great tour. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Cost was fair and our guide spent a lot of time explaining the highlights. The cemetery was something we had never seen before.
We had an amazing tour! Enrique was very knowledgeable, told great stories and took us to all the best spots - highly recommend!!
Our guide, Juan, had a wealth of knowledge that ranged from Peruvian history, the church in Peru, wars fought in Peru, and the dark magic arts. A very informative and entertaining afternoon.
Incredible experience! Highlight of my time in Lima for sure, but would recommend to everyone. Will definitely be using Peruvian Worldview next time I visit.
The highlight of my short time in Lima! This was such an amazing tour. It was unique and fascinating to see and learn about both the catacombs and the cemetery. I’ve always had a love for bones and cemeteries and having a private tour getting to learn about the Peruvian death traditions was an incredible experience. Our guide was awesome! Jean had a unique perspective on everything we saw and was very knowledgeable about more than just the catacombs and the cemetery. If you have any interest in activities slightly off the beaten path, or the darker side of Lima, I definitely recommend this tour! It was even better than I expected!
The cemetery tour was the best part of tour. It was nice to spend all my time there as I had already been to the catacombs. My guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the cemetery, the layout, and stories of people there. This cemetery is huge with streets. Now it is a museum. Definitely recommend tour if you have a few hours in Lima.
Very interesting and informative. If you are interested in something a little different take this tour. Renzo was the best tour guide. He took his time explaining everything. I listened to a couple of other tour guides and they left out all the best parts. Juan was also a great driver and very efficient getting us around the city.
Marco was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Really knowledgeable about many things, even outside of the funeral industry in Lima. Looking into the death of a culture can tell you a lot about how life is lived there. We talked a lot about the practicalities of burial but we also talked spooky stuff too. Highly recommend this tour.
Great history of Lima and interesting facts about both the catacombs and cemetery. Never felt rushed and really enjoyed my entire trip
Renzo was a great guide. He explained things very well, and clued us in on some secrets about the monastery above the catacombs that was really interesting.
This tour is a MUST do if you are interested in checking out the Catacombs AND the largest cemetery in the America's! I had previously did a catacombs tour that was included as part of a city tour and it just seemed rushed! I really appreciated the extra time taken by my tour guide Jean who made sure I had all the history and answered any additional questions I had! I learned soooo much in the short time we were in the catacombs! Since it was a private tour, I elected to spend more time at the cemetery and I was def worth it!! I was AMAZED and also learned a LOT from this portion of the tour! I really liked that the vehicle was air conditioned, door pickup, the history lesson while on the way to the locations AND the Peruvian Churro as a snack! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima that wants to do something a little less traditional! What a unique experience!
Marco was amazing, treated us with respect and made sure we had fun while we learned about the culture. The cemetery tour was very interesting. Loved it, highly recommend.
The catacombs were great, but I really enjoyed the cemetery more. I’ve never been to a cemetery this large covering 220 hectares, with 32 presidents and 292 soldiers interred here. The crypts and mausoleums were so interesting and massive! My guide, Sofia, was fantastic too! She has excellent English and is extremely well-informed. I really enjoyed this tour!
The history of the Franciscans and their installations is very interesting (although I don't agree with so much wealth) but the show is the catacombs with the bones and anti-earthquake structure... and the belief of the grantees...
MUST-SEE. This Peruvian tour shows how world history and cultures influenced Peru. This tour company is the BEST; they provide hotel pickup and drop-off. They were on time and stuck to the schedule. My tour guide was VERY knowledgeable not only about Peru but other countries. He was able to connect it all. I want to take a world history class. We toured the catacombs and the cemetery. THIS IS A MUST-SEE EXPERIENCE. I will not spoil it, but this tour explained a lot about the rituals we practice today. Because I went with this company, I didn't have to wait in line. Also, it was a treat; the company owner drove us around. He even provided an extra excursion; we toured other parts of central Lima. It was eye-opening. Trust me, go with this company.
