Explore the main tourist attractions of Lima Historical Center, San Isidro and Miraflores.

Stop at the Love Park and enjoy taking pictures of its huge kissing sculpture, mosaic walls and snack stores. See Larcomar Shopping Mall and visit the Kennedy Park, the heart of Miraflores where you can feel the living culture of this district. Later, explore a pre-Inca building called Huaca Pucllana, a huge complex made of clay and mud considered a ceremonial center from the Lima culture.

1.00The tour guide herself was friendly and tried her best, but we experienced several issues that unfortunately make me unable to recommend this tour. First, the company changed the start time from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. by messaging me at 11:30 p.m. the night before. I agreed to the change, and as a concession they agreed to drop us off in Barranco at the end of the tour. The biggest issue was that we spent most of the tour stuck in traffic. As a result, we did not experience much of what was advertised in the tour description. There was no stop at Kennedy Cat Park, no time to enjoy a pisco sour in the Historic Center, and we reached the Love Park extremely late—so late that it was too dark to get photos of the famous kissing statue. We also skipped the olive tree stop in San Isidro entirely. The Pucllana Site Museum is literally a drive by. Added zero to the tour. To make things worse, near the end of the tour they attempted to back out of the agreed-upon drop off in Barranco, claiming the driver had an “emergency” and could only take us halfway. I explained that this felt inappropriate and too coincidental. Only after insisting did they honor the original plan and drop us off where they had promised. To be clear, none of this was the tour guide’s fault. The issue lies with how the tour is organized. The company needs to plan better or avoid offering this route on days when traffic makes it impossible to complete the advertised itinerary
Excellent Half Day Tour

5.00A great way to discover the city of Lima. The tour takes you to the beautiful Miraflores where you will visit iconic parks as Kennedy park filled with cats, and have great views of the ocean. You will also get to see the city centre and its interesting qnd colorful buildings. Be sure to go and eat at la Rosa Nautica for the best ceviche in Peru and the world. Miraflores is very safe and walkable.

5.00During this half day tour, we stopped at quite a few sites, but the highlight of course was visiting the catacombs! María, our guide, was a fountain of knowledge about Lima. She explained so much about the history of the city and the different buildings, but didn’t overwhelm us and presented it in a way that it was memorable. At the end of the tour, she recommended a local vegetarian restaurant that we never would have found on our own. This is a great way to see the city and see a few attractions.
