Peru · LIMA CITY TOURS
23 reviewed
Most trips give Lima two days, and these are what earn them: Barranco and Miraflores along the clifftop, the catacombs under San Francisco, the Huaca Pucllana pyramid sitting between apartment blocks, and the food walks through Surquillo that explain everything you eat for the next fortnight.

Ride Lima’s Miraflores and Barranco with Huaca Pucllana. Pacific views, Eiffel lighthouse, bohemian streets, small group, bike included.
“Bikes were a little old and not in the best shape. Our guide was 20 minutes late and then proceeded to take another 20 minutes bringing the bikes out. Our tour was to include a complimentary bottle of water - which we didn’t receive. We were encouraged to have an espresso while we were waiting - I thought this would be complimentary since our tour was so late getting started instead I was charged 5 soles for a cold cup of expresso. Overall Manny was a decent guide and his English was very good. Unfortunately out of the group of 7 - 3 of them were not experienced bike riders…”

Cycle Miraflores, Barranco, and Chorrillos on comfy bikes or a Segway, then climb El Morro for 360 views of Cristo del Pacífico.
“Great tour. Get away from the traffic whilst still seeing the city. Much better than sitting in a traffic jam on a cramped minivan. The bikes were of a fantastic standard and safety helmets provided. Nice stop after Jesus hill for cold drinks. Kral the guide gave a nice amount of information and made any road crossings super safe. I’m not a bike rider but made it round the route OK apart from pushing up Jesus hill.”

“This was one of the best city tours we've ever taken. John, our driver, safely maneuvered the insane Lima traffic with skill, ease and great attitude! Alexandra was extremely well informed and directed us with true joy through her city. She was interesting and fun to be with. She was also flexible, altering our tour a little to spend more time in a specific location that we wanted to hear more about. She rerouted us to avoid too many steps for me. Great guide!”
