Wonderful Excursion

Karen_S, Apr 2024

From pickup to drop off we had a wonderful Lima City Tour. Highly recommend! Tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful.

Wonderful

Arthur_M, Apr 2024

Tour was great, but Julie, Andreas and bus driver Ben were fantastic. Ben was very helpful with my wife’s walker and Andreas and Julie were very knowledgeable about the city and the history

Pleasant, informative, awesome guide and driver.

Ronald_P, Mar 2024

The tour guide was very pleasant and informative, answering all of our questions. Great overview of the area. Instead of 90 plus minutes for lunch, I would rather have seen the Barranco neighborhood with the murals.

Awesome tour

susan_a, Mar 2024

Great guides, toured so many different areas of the city and learned a great deal about the people and history of Lima. Would highly recommend this tour with Lima Discover.

Great tour!!

tigerfire2002, Feb 2024

Got to see a lot of great places, and the guide had a lot of great information!!! Perfect if you're on a cruise and want to see the city

Great Cruise Ship Shore Excursion! Do This—Don’t Book With The Cruise Lines!

Jeffrey_B, Jan 2024

Our tour guides were the best! Knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, eager to help foreigners understand and appreciate their city and its many years of history. The small group tour allowed for a more intimate understanding and engagement with the tour guides. I highly recommend you do this, especially if you are on a cruise ship stop where the tours based from the cruise line are twice as expensive had have five times as many people.

Wonderful tour

Keith_P, Jan 2024

We had a great tour with Julia, Ismael, and Raoul! They showed us the highlights and were very knowledgeable! Thanks for a wonderful day!

Great tour!

Ann_K, Dec 2023

The people who worked with Lima Discover are the best! We had a great time, they took good care of us!

Great tour of Lima/covers it all

Eric_B, Nov 2023

Great tour highly recommend. We had 2 guides on the bus explaining Lima Peru. They did an outstanding job. We hit all the highlights of Lima and had enough time to walk around and see it all. Importantly they met us at the cruise pick up point which was 10 min shuttle ride. Easy identify. Total great experience. Highly recommend.

Both Andres and Julia,...

Werner_H, Nov 2023

Both Andres and Julia, our guides , were very knowledgeable and gave us so many impressions of Lima, well beyond showing the historical buildings. The talked about history of Lima and of Peru, about the life of the people in Peru, about the famous Peruvian food. And for lunch we were taken to a Peruvian restaurant were we could sample Peruvian specialities. The tour was fascinating.

Great introduction to Lima!

Jena_C, Nov 2023

Great overall city tour. Very professional easy pickup at the cruise port for a small group of around 15 people. Super knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides. This is definitely a walking tour, so be prepared for that. I loved it. We covered so much of the city and it’s a great introduction upon arriving to Lima. It’s easy to see what you’d like to explore more if you wish. We stayed in Miraflores after the tour and took an easy Uber to the Larco Museo and Magic Fountains for a truly full sightseeing day. Really a great time.

Perfect day trip of Lima

llh0703, Nov 2023

Appreciated that I could keep in contact by email with tour guides before trip. Meet up went smoothly. Great shuttle driver and 2 terrific guides = Julia and oh no forgot the guy's name. He showed us local fruit. Did parks and churches and catacombs (so interesting) . Even caught changing of the guard. Lunch was authentic and tasty and reasonable price. Even went to Miraflores Love park and drove by Huacas. Everything was perfect. Guides showed and shared their love of Lima. Thanks to all for a spectacular day.

Disappointing!

CHRISTINEM, Apr 2023

Too much walking on a very hot day, which was not pointed out in the overview before booking. We did not visit the Chocolate Museum at all. Very disappointing.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your comment, The only way to get to know the city of Lima is by walking since it is forbidden to enter the city center with vehicles. I think qualifying a service as disappointing just because we walk and Why it was hot is not liked but we respect your comment and we are going to be even more specific in the reservation, in this tour in particular we put two guides per group and which guide and another to assist those who walk slowly and those who come with wheelchairs are not done by any agency in Lima, we know that most people are adults and we try to assist them at all times Thank you again for your comment and we will try to Improve the tour.

Great experience

Alfred_S, Apr 2023

Seeing the beautiful St. Francisco Church and previous monastery. Love Park area was beautiful too! The tour guides were very knowledgeable too.

As a first time visitor,...

Richard_L, Mar 2023

As a first time visitor, the tour was a good way to get an introduction to some highlights of the city. We spent most of the time in the Centro Historico part of town, it was interesting to see both the touristic sights and the coming and going of people downtown. Had a good lunch (self paid) at the selected restaurant, and then a brief stop at the Love Park in the wealthy and fashionable Miraflores district by the coast. Our guides provided us with relatable information about Lima, Peru and everyday life, as well as informative descriptions of the sites we visited. The traffic in Lima was pretty bad and it made a long tour feel longer, but it was a good way to get oriented in Lima.

What a way to see Lima.

Theodore_V, Mar 2023

Great guide who was attentive and flexible as well as very informative. What a great tour. Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Wonderful Tour

adanoemi, Mar 2023

We had a wonderful tour with very knowledgeable guides. The places we visited in Lima were beautiful and interesting.

Lima is a must!

jose_t, Mar 2023

The tour operator in Lima was really good. I would like to mention the guide JULIA and her companion LEANDRO that make all the possible to make this tour magnífico.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

thank you very much mr jose We are glad that you enjoyed your visit to Lima and thank you for trusting in our service. We hope that you will repeat it again since Peru is a wonderful country with a lot of history and tradition. Greetings and blessings.

Good port option

John_T, Mar 2023

A good option for those looking for a tour from the Callao port. Hit the main points of Lima but was short on historical content. Wasted a full hour waiting for people to arrive and fill our bus.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

thank you mr john We will take it into account, we are a reliable and safe agency, we also do private tours where the client indicates the time. Sometimes there are inconveniences due to the fact that it is a shared service where we have to wait for the passengers to start the tour.

I couldn't have planned a better tour!

James_M, Mar 2020

We didn't like any of the cruise ship offerings, so we took this one. They met us with a sign just outside the cruise terminal, and gave us a wonderful set of things to see, capped by a lunch in a nice restaurant on the side of the square. Be sure to order a Pisco Sour as your beverage.
