• 5Five Stars—A Wonderful Way to Experience Lima!

  This was a beautifully organized, informative and delicious introduction to Lima. Five stars all around—I highly recommend it! Our guide, Lydia, was terrific—knowledgeable, engaging and attentive to everyone’s needs. You can tell that she truly loves Lima, and her enthusiasm for the city made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Our driver, Elloy, was courteous and helpful, and the vehicle was immaculate, clean and seemingly brand-new. The selection of stops was excellent, and the food was terrific. We enjoyed breakfast, peruvian coffee, tapas, drinks and then a delicious lunch overlooking Huaca Pucllana, a beautiful archaeological site. I could not have asked for more, or better choices. One of the highlights for me was visiting the Jade Rivera gallery in Barranco, during our walk. It was a memorable addition to an already excellent tour. Our group included two vegetarians and one person who does not drink alcohol. We were a mix of couples and solo travelers of all ages. Everyone was accommodated thoughtfully and graciously. We all agreed the food was top notch and the tour was really well done. The company communicated very well before and after the tour and even followed up by sending us a link to the recipes.

• 5Great tour of Lima's food and art scene

  We had a great experience sampling Lima's different food offerings, from cafe' fare, to an upscale restaurant and the various versions of Pisco Sour (one made with purple corn) at a trendy bar. We also visited a few modern art galleries as a party of the tour. Our tour guide, Amy Makiya (who was fluent in English), was great at weaving in the cultural and historical background of Peru/Lima during the food and gallery tours. The tour could not have been any better!

About Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on clifftops above the Pacific, is a city of colonial plazas, pre-Inca ruins and an exciting, celebrated food scene.

The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revolves around the Plaza Mayor, with the cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop's Palace with its carved wooden balconies. The Monastery of San Francisco hides catacombs beneath its yellow church, and the colonial mansions around it recall the riches of the viceroyalty.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
