Perfect Peru Tour - From Callao Port: Lima City Tour, Dinner and Magic Water Tour: This tour was excellent and our tour director,Caesar, was the one who made it so! He was exuberant, excited and proud of his city, totally prepared and great fun. By the end of the tour we felt like family. We got a real feel for the city of Lima, visited the Catacombs, definitely not to be missed especially the last supper with Jesus and the guinea pigs!! The water show at night was simply magic and our traditional dinner was a perfect way to meet the locals and sample some piscoe, a local drink. Caesar bought caramel filled Churros for everyone for dessert, a treat that you should never miss. We arrived back tired but happy. We would use a Viator tour in every city without a worry. Just a reminder that you cannot meet the tour in Callao port as the port authority doesn't allow tours to enter the port, they take you on a bus to the Indian Markets. Viator contacted us and met us at the markets instead, we were so relieved.

Great half day tour, small group! - Excellent tour with our guide Ceasar, who was always attentive, responsive, and professional. Small group, which made the experience much more interesting. Restaurant with typical Lima food to finish off with the water and light show. I highly recommend it. If you are with Princess Cruises, take the shuttle to Indian Market, the starting point for the tour.

An exceptional shore excursion with an outstanding guide! - Everything was well organized, and the team easily accommodated our cruise ship’s new drop-off location. Cesar was a fantastic guide—extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging. We had a wonderful day exploring Lima, touring the catacombs, and learning about the local culture. The dinner and Pisco Sour were excellent, and the churros were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

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!
