Beautiful tour of Lima - Excellent walk through the city and downtown Lima.
Although it was just Fiestas Patrias and it was a sea of people we could enjoy a beautiful walk and just hooked a dance show in the celebrations in the Plaza de Armas 🇵🇪
Thanks to the directions of our guide everything was perfect.

Short tour but very nice if you are passing nomas! - Short walk, but very good for those who are passing and want to know a little bit of Lima. This excursion takes you through emblematic places of Lima, such as the much mentioned catacombs and Huaca Pucllana, which was like a ceremonial center of the ancient inhabitants. I recommend wearing glasses and cream to take care of the sun's skin, as it is intense these days. Thanks for the welcome!

Good first day overview - When arriving in a new city, these type of tour busses usually provide a good way to have you see some of the main areas you may not want to miss. This one did not disappoint. The rooftop gives a nice way to get above traffic and fences, giving a relatively good view. It traversed much of the main Lima districts. Part of the tour is a walking tour and church/catacombs visit which I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for this tour. Near the end the guide gave the option of returning to the originating point or staying at the city center. I chose to stay and explore and get back on my own. Would really recommend to anyone who is visiting Lima for the first time.

Great tour - Great tour of Lima. Bring snacks as the tour was quite long. Included a stop at the cathedral and a stop at a souvenir shop where we tasted various pisco sours.

Very varied city tour - You get a good overview of Lima, see Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid, the financial district of the city and the old town of Lima, which you can explore on foot. Finally, there was a pisco tasting.

Quick Snapshot of Lima - We were only in Lima for one day in-route to Cusco and this is an ideal way to do Lima in one day in order to see all the main sights.

Tour regular - We took a panoramic bus tour to see Lima. The bus met the basics, and the guide did his best to make sure this huge group of tourists could hear his story (without a megaphone). The departure time is inappropriate because you can't avoid the heat, you'll be sunbathed the entire walk, and you'll miss your lunch break.

It is listed as... - It is listed as approximately 4 hours and it was almost 5 hours by time we were done. The guide was very kind but was a bit soft spoken and made it hard to hear. The bus can be very windy and chilly depending on the day.
