Overview

For the traveler who only has a few hours to spare, this tour, coined "The Perfect Snapshot of Lima" by previous guests, covers it all. Compare and contrast colonial Lima, with the modern districts of San Isidro and Miraflores. Have fun perusing the bohemian seaside town of Barranco. From high above the Pacific Ocean you will look down upon the iconic "Green Coast" as it boasts both contemporary city life with rudimentary shanty towns; you won't believe how much ground we will cover in just five short hours. If you would like to grab some lunch on the go, featuring traditional Peruvian style sandwiches and exotic juices, just let your guide know. It may be that little extra add-in that makes your half day or lay over tour just perfect!

Half Day in Lima

Published on Jan, 2025

We LOVED touring with Marco! He knew so much about Lima and the history of Peru. Marco was also very accommodating in helping us find all the good food we wanted to try. Also, shout out to Jorge our driver! The tour allowed us to learn quite a bit about the different districts of Lima through a good balance of walking and driving. Since we only had one day in the city, this tour was a great way to catch all the highlights. We can't wait to come back to see more!
