A full, fun day exploring the best of Lima - Our experienced tour guide, Gabriela, made this a great (Buenazo!) excursion. She went above and beyond our expectations, with several pleasant surprises sprinkled in. She’s knowledgeable about all the monuments, historic buildings, and fountains we saw. She has a great sense of humor and kept us entertained all day. Best of all, she connects with each and every guest, getting to know all of us while sharing aspects of her own life. Our cruise shuttle to the meeting point was a bit of a cluster F, and Haku Tours resolved all the challenges, even assigning someone to stay with us for an extra hour to make sure we all safely boarded the shuttle bus.

Lin City tour, Dinner and Magical water show - Gabriella gave us an historical and modern history of her country. She pointed out the different architectural structures and the history associated with each era. We had time to see everything without a minute wasted. Tasted Peruvian churros and donuts as well as sampling pisco and several Peruvian dishes. The night ended with a view and explanation of the Magucal Water show. Be prepared to do a lot of walking but every minute was worth it!

We really enjoyed our... - We really enjoyed our time in Lima. Our guide, Leonardo, was all the things a good teacher should be. He was knowledgeable of both the past and the present day cultures in his area and was enthusiastic and engaging throughout the tour. We did a city walk and saw many historic structures including the cathedral and the catacombs. There were multiple choices for lunch and the food was delicious and abundant. After lunch we drove to the magic light show which was brilliant. My husband and I enjoyed the show even more than we had expected. The tour operator carried us back to the port and waited with us until the cruise shuttle picked us up. This tour was a bargain and interactions with the company were always prompt!

Fantastic tour experience - Very enjoyable tour of the historical Lima cathedrals and government buildings with history given. It was a great way to see and hear a guide give an interesting dialogue as we walked the streets in the city. Our tour guide Edwin Rojas was phenomenal and his English was very good!

Take this tour - It was a comprehensive tour with a very knowledgable and attentive guide. Edwin looked after our group’s every need. He made sure everything was smooth, on time and as advertised. He provided water, money for the bano, and that the meals would arrive timely. Edwin was passionate about his country, city, culture, history, architecture and art. We came away with a deeper understanding of the people and country. We were safe in his hands and the capable driver of Victor. Great team. We were highly impressed that the tour company gives back to the underprivileged children of Lima.

A Great Experience - JJ did a great job maneuvering our small group around the city. We walked across a bridge and down a market area where we were able to taste fresh picerones. Then we toured the cathedral museum and the catacombs. We walked through the town square and stopped for a drink. We continued on to have dinner in a local restaurant and finally to a beautiful water show that projected the history of Peru. Then back to our hotel.

Highly recommended tour! - We had a great time touring the city of Lima! We had a 14hr layover which was the perfect amount of time to fit this in. You could even get away with a shorter layover and still make it work as the host is very accommodating of your schedule. I would rank this tour in my top 3 all time favorite tours through Viator, especially thanks to our guide, JJ! He is very knowledgeable about the city/country’s cultural, political, and religious background, and we were able to learn and experience a lot in the time we had with him. Touring the catacombs was definitely a highlight, and JJ provided really nice explanations of everything that we saw. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about Lima whether you’re staying for a longer period of time in Peru or just stopping by on your connecting flight. Thanks again JJ!
