Tour description

We will start our free tour in Miraflores, where the guide will welcome you and give a brief introduction about the history of Lima. Then we will head to the Metropolitano station (public bus), from where we will travel to the Historic Center of Lima, using one of the city's most important transportation systems.


Upon arrival, we will take a walking tour through the entire Historic Center of Lima, declared a Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. During the tour, we will observe the main historical and republican buildings, such as the Plaza Mayor, the Government Palace, the Cathedral of Lima, the Municipal Palace, Plaza San Martín, as well as churches, mansions, and traditional balconies that reflect the architecture and historical legacy of the city.


Our guide will share historical information, anecdotes, and curious facts about Lima's colonial and republican eras.


To conclude the experience, we will have a tasting of pisco sour, Peru's flagship drink, where we will briefly learn about its origin and cultural significance.


The tour ends in the Historic Center of Lima, with recommendations to continue exploring the city on your own.
