Guided Walking Tour in Lima Downtown

Show all photos
2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Most travelers think they’ve seen Lima after visiting its main squares and colonial streets. But what if I told you the city’s true soul hides in its hidden alleys, historic buildings, and stories only a local can share?

Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the details and layers of history that make downtown Lima unforgettable. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while its real essence stays just out of reach.

Our Walking Tour in Lima Downtown changes that. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover the heart of Lima beyond the surface.
