Tour description

PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION.

The best way to get to know Lima is on foot. This tour combines history, relevant facts about the city, and current local information.

To begin our tour, you'll find us outside Miraflores City Hall, next to the fountain. Once there, we'll head to the Ricardo Palma metro station, from where we'll travel to Colmena station, where we'll begin the free tour.

Places to visit:
San Martín Square
Hotel Bolivar (first hotel in Lima)
Colon Theater
Jirón de la Unión (pedestrian street)
Palais Concert Building
La Merced Church
Plaza de Armas or Plaza Mayor
Government Palace
Lima Cathedral
House of Peruvian Literature

San Francisco Church (Church of the Catacombs)
Muralla Park

Please note that we will need 5 soles (to cover the cost of the ticket, which is 3.50 soles each way + internal administrative expenses). The bus ride is approximately 30 minutes per route, so the tour in general is 2 hours + transfer time.

NOTE: THIS AMOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TIP THE GUIDE EXPECTS FOR THE TOUR.

The tour must have a minimum of 5 people; otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel the tour.


Groups of more than 6 are NOT accepted. If you make 2 reservations and they are a single group, you must make the commitment payment (USD 10 per person).

If you do not agree with this, please do not book this tour.

* At the end of the tour, if you wish to return to Miraflores, we will help you take the same transportation system. If you wish to stay, we will give you all the directions so you can return on your own and continue enjoying Lima.

#IMPORTANT
This is a free tour. Like all walking tours around the world, the guides work independently, covering their own transportation and logistics (including payment to the GuruWalk platform). We strive to provide excellent company, so we expect to be well rewarded at the end of the tour. Guides typically expect to receive between $15 USD (60 soles) and $30 USD (100 soles) per person, considering that these tours typically cost up to $70 USD per person.


We promise you'll like it.
