Tour description

🏳️‍🌈🍉 You thought you'd seen it all... until you walked with us.

If you've already done another city tour, give Lima -and yourself- one more chance. Come with us and feel the difference.

Join us
through Lima’s Historic Center and rediscover this complex city. This is not a simple city tour: it’s an invitation to deconstruct the official history, to look beyond monuments and colonial narratives, and to recognize how indigenous identity has resisted, evolved, and engaged with modernity. Through historical, literary, and geopolitical insights and uncomfortable questions, our professional licensed guides know that history is not only told — it’s also felt, questioned, and transformed. Because Lima doesn’t explain itself. It’s walked with questions, listened to with openness, and laughed at with good humor.



ABOUT TIPS

We recommend a minimum tip of 12 euros (50 soles) per person.

Why? Because we truly believe in offering the best experience possible, filled with passion, knowledge, and fun.

If you consider that your guide was super informative, out of the ordinary and fun, feel free to tip him/her according to your level of personal satisfaction.

1. Our tour guides work on tips, meaning they do not receive a fixed salary.

2. Lima is a large city, and we often travel from far away to reach the touristic areas.

3. 50% of the tip goes to the guide, and the other 50% supports the company for logistics and operations.

4.
It takes 3 to 5 years of study to get a tour guide’s license in Peru (MINCETUR).

5. The company covers the GuruWalk platform commission and the logistics costs, which includes managing the tour operations.

6. Unlike other companies, we don’t cancel tours or leave you behind if you're the only passenger. We’re committed to delivering a fantastic experience no matter the group size.

We don’t work with massive groups.

We don’t include or promote commission-based shops.

This tour is not about current politics. For that, we offer a separate, more underground experience.
