The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture & Flavors

Outstanding tour with Jean! I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him. He took us to both tourist must see sites and special local areas. He was very engaging and informative. The murals in Barranco were amazing.

An amazing day exploring Lima with Paula! Our family had a wonderful experience on the seven-hour Lima City Highlights tour with lunch and the catacombs, organised by Peruvian World View. Our guide, Paula, was simply superb—knowledgeable, passionate about history, and always attentive to our comfort. He brought Lima and Peru to life through fascinating stories about their history, art, culture, and geography. He also helped us capture lots of beautiful family photographs. The lunch was good, and the transportation, including hotel pickup and drop-off, was comfortable and well organised. The final visit to the museum and catacombs at the Church and Convent of San Francisco was the icing on the cake—a fascinating end to a memorable day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Peruvian World View and, especially, Paula to anyone looking to explore Lima!

This tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Paulo, was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He talked with us not only about the places we visited, but about life in Lima, the culture and history of Peru, and shared his own experiences. It was so easy from pick up to drop off. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent overview of Lima with history, culture and some landmarks. We had just arrived the previous night so it was good to get a comprehensive view

Informative tour with good tour guide. Will definitely reccommend this to anyone interested in history and culture of Lima

A wonderful day of exploring Lima and learning about its history. Our guide, Paolo, was outstanding and our meal at Don Cervichero was delicious! Highly recommend this tour!

Great all round tour with lots of information. Our guide Palo was very knowledgeable and very down to earth. His English was excellent and he took the time to get to make a connection with the members of the group. Good tour to get the highlights of Lima

An excellent tour covering all the main highlights of Lima. I learnt a lot about local food and the history of Lima. Paulo was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide.

The tour was great and covered so much. Lunch was fantastic the catacombs the fishing port everything was interesting and fun Our guide Klaudia and our driver Henry were both great

Klaudia was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. She made the 7 hour tour very enjoyable! And Marcos was an excellent driver! Food tastings and lunch were fabulous!

This was a six hour tour. It was really interesting with several locations. It was fun to see such a diverse set of places. Lima is quite a beautiful city. Ask for Kaudia for your guide. She knows a lot about the city and the locations we visited, and she made the whole experience amazing!

Thanks again to Paolo for that informative and enjoyable Lima Tour. We had a blast at this tour. So many things covered- places, food, historical facts and did enjoy the rapport and conversation with the other guests. Paolo is a super duper knowledgable tour guide. EXCELLENT one indeed.

My husband and I really enjoyed all the knowledge that Alexander knew about Lima and Peru. He was a fascinating guide and we learned so much.

The guide took me to special Lima places that I would not otherwise visit: a pre inca archeologital site, Fishermans Warf, the Love park, Baranco: a nice neighborhood, Don Cevichero: a local restaurant far away from touristhoods, the Catacombs and last Plaza de Armas. Go with the tour and see also different places away from tourists.

This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Lima! It was a small group of just four people - myself, another solo traveler, and a couple - which made the experience feel personal and relaxed. The itinerary was fantastic. We saw so much of Lima in one day, from the historic center and its fascinating history to the different neighborhoods, markets, and cultural highlights. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the day had a great balance of sightseeing, history, culture, and food without feeling rushed. The food was another highlight. Everything we tried was delicious, and I loved that the tour incorporated local flavors and gave us the opportunity to experience Lima through its food as well. Our driver, Eduardo, was wonderful. The van was clean and comfortable, and Eduardo was professional, friendly, and an excellent driver. Having reliable transportation throughout the day made the experience so easy and enjoyable. But the absolute star of the tour was our guide, Claudia. She was truly exceptional. Claudia was knowledgeable, warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about Lima and its history. Her storytelling brought the places we visited to life, and she had a wonderful way of making everyone feel included and comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and getting the most out of the day. Claudia and Eduardo made an already excellent itinerary into a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima - and if you’re lucky enough to have Claudia as your guide, you’re in for a treat! Five stars all around!

We booked this tour on short notice (night before) and we're pleasantly surprised to discover were were the only two on the tour - so a private tour!! Karolina was our guide and we also had a driver so Karolina was able to speak to us without distraction and communicate with the driver on dropoffs and pickups at the different locations we visited. At each stop we were given the opportunity to walk around while Karolina explained the area of the city and talked knowledgeably about Peruvian history and culture. Each stop had it own personality and we got a good feeling for the area and personality of the neighborhood. Each stop was unique and the tour gave us great insight into the city. We went to: 1. Fishermans Wharf 2. Barranco neighborhhood 3. Love Park 4. Hauca Pucllana 5. Local market for tasting of unique fruits 6. Cevicherria 7. Plaza de Aarmas 8. San Francisco Monestary and Catacombs We were also fortunate to be touring during the Santa Rosa festival so we were able to view the procession and the beautiful street art. The included lunch was also delicious and our guide called ahead to order so we didn't have long wait.

Loved the experience, Marco was very informative and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Great sfternoon thank you.

This was the absolute perfect full day tour on my first day in Peru. The guide, Alex, was amazingly knowledgeable with excellent English. He shared so many interesting insights into Lima and Peru. Managed to taste various local fruits at the market. Had a delicious lunch and generally learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour for a starting point to travelling in Peru.

Great guide and nice way to see Lima highlights in one day. We were able to see Ty local cuisine and learn something about Peru, its people and history. Well done!

Our guide Klaudia and driver Eduardo were an excellent team. We spent 7 hours visiting the main sights in Miraflores, Barranco, Chirallos and the historic centre of Lima. We also enjoyed a delicious Peruvian lunch. Klaudia's spoken English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour for those people on a short stay in Lima as it covers all the highlights.

Juan was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, made sure we learned a lot about Lima and Peru and that we felt welcomed and comfortable

This was a fantastic tour. It was a great way to explore Lima. Our guide, Alex, did a great job and provided both history and current information for the sites we visited. Lunch was great and I would highly recommend this tour.

We had an absolutely brilliant experience on the Full Day Lima Highlights Tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lima, especially if you only have a short time in the city. Our guide, Alexander, was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and also very humble and personable throughout the day. What really stood out was how he adapted the tour to suit us, making sure we saw everything we hadn’t already explored on our own. That flexibility made the experience feel very personal rather than scripted. A huge thank you also to Eduardo, our driver, who was professional, friendly, and made getting around Lima smooth and comfortable. The highlight of the day was lunch in a traditional Peruvian fish restaurant, enjoying beers alongside local people and sampling authentic Peruvian seafood dishes — especially the ceviche, which was outstanding. The fresh fish cured in lime with herbs and local flavours was a real culinary highlight and gave us a genuine taste of Peru. This tour gave us the perfect blend of history, culture, local life, and food. If you’re visiting Lima and want to make the most of your time, this tour is an excellent choice.

The tour was marvelous. Took in lots of “things to see” and Claudia was a wonderful guide. She was very personable and knowledgeable. The long tour was well pace with enough time at each destination. I would highly recommend this tour.

Terrific tour. Very well organized. Good pace and very informative. Would absolutely recommend. Well done

Claudia was an enormously helpful and informed guide. She made the entire tour a happy delight for us visitors.

Great tour, Alexandr was knowledgable and kind, I learned a lot about Lima. Lunch was delicious at the local cafe with very Peruvian vibe. The Convent and catacomb were my highlights . Would recommend.

Great expirience exploring the highlights of Lima . My guide Alexander was very kind, knowledgable and spoken very good English . I liked everything , Lima is old, charming city full of history. Thank you Alexander! Would very much recommend the tour.

Absolutely top notch tour. Prompt pick up. Amazing sights. The food was wonderful. Alexander was an ideal guide. Everything was wonderful and exactly as advertised. Advice - don't eat a big breakfast before as there is lots of fruit at the tasting and the lunch has both an individual appetizer and main course, wear good walking shoes, and take a hat.

Great tour, I learned so much. My tour guide, Klaudia, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to everyone!

Claudia did a wonderful job touring us around Lima. She was detailed and very knowledgeable. It was a lot of fun, and the driver did a good job navigating the streets.

Great tour with Klaudia, exploring the city of Lima!

Alex was the guide. He was knowledgeable and answered all questions. I learnt about history and culture of Lima/Peru. Would recommend.

It’s a full day of great activities and you get to see a lot of Lima There are so many exciting things to see

Juan was fun and excited to show his group around this beautiful city. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

A very good tour. We were able to see so much in one day. Very knowledgeable guide and a very nice lunch

This was such a great experience and Alex was so nice, knowledgeable and helpful. This is not related to the tour but I was congested and he was kind enough to stop by a pharmacy to I could get something and also adjusted the AC for me to be comfortable. Wound definitely do this tour with Alex.

We had an awesome day touring Lima with Klaudia. Our group was a nice size, 5 people. Our pickup time was exactly as indicated in the confirmation. Klaudia’s English was great. We started the day with some fruit tasting, a walk around the fish market. Then headed to the catacombs, convento san francisco, Huaca Pucllana, Plaza de Armas, and more! Everything was executed exactly as detailed, and we had a really enjoyable day. Klaudia was helpful providing suggestions for restaurants. Thank you! Definitely recommend this tour, and tour company. *****

Amazing tour! Don’t skip this one!

Alex was an excellent guide and was able to address all questions, even those not necessarily related. It was a great introduction to Lima and there seemed to be a good rationing of travel time and walking. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Lima for the first time. I will be going back to several of my favorite spots to explore further. Definitely worth every dollar spent!

Alexander was a fantastic guide and I enjoyed my day experiencing so many different areas of Lima and learning about their history.

This was a super informative, rich in sites and lucky enough to have a fabulous guide, Juan. What a great way to start my time here in Lima. Thank you so much, Juan and world view tours!

Excellent tour! This is a great tour especially if you are in Lima for a short time and want to visit the highlights of the city. Alex was our tour guide. He's very experienced and knowledgeable. He's patient and answered all questions during the tour. The lunch was very yummy. We enjoyed the company from the small tour.

Absolutely fabulous day trip around Lima. Alex was very professional, a great host and so knowledgeable. We landed at a Sunday Market where we sampled several nati e fruits. Walked around the more "Bohemian" neighborhood of Barranco and beach-side fishing market of Chorrillos and then into Dowtown. We had a lovely Peruvian lunch and finished the day shopping and touring the San Francisco convent and catacombs. It was awesome!

Alex was a superb guide. Had a wonderful day in Lima.

Our day with Alexander / Alex / Alejandro was amazing! Alex is knowledgeable, entertaining, and an all round amazing tour guide. He is polite and shared so many stories and experiences we would never have known about without his guidance / direction. Would highly recommend this trip. And more specifically Alex!

Alexander (Alex) Alejandro, was AMAZING! Very experienced, knowledged, cheerful and all round made our day fantastic!!! Thanks Alex! We would recommend this tour / yourself many times over!!!
