Perfect Introduction to Lima! - I learned so much about Lima’s history and culture on this tour. Silvana was a wonderful guide and answered all of our questions. She also knew all the best tips on where to shop and eat - and the churros she got for us were the best I’ve ever had! Really enjoyed this tour, it was just what I needed to become informed about the beautiful place of Lima :)

Walking tour with Paolo and driver Cerelo - Fantastic walking tour—informative, well-paced, and engaging from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared great historical context along with local insights you wouldn’t get on your own. The route was interesting and easy to follow, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to really understand and enjoy the area.

The Best Half Day Tour of Old City Lima - Haku Tours provided a wonderful morning exploring the history and important places in the City of Lima, from before it’s Spanish-founding right up to present day. Our tour guide, Paolo, was super knowledgeable about all things Lima, and did a wonderful job at inserting history, anecdotes, and fun facts throughout the entire tour, which really added to the experience! We even got to see the Changing of the Guard, complete with a marching band in full regalia, at the end of the tour. We did this tour, and then stayed in the old city for the afternoon to visit some of the historic attractions and museums that you learn about and walk by during the tour. By 6pm we felt between the tour and our own exploring that we had seen and done everything we wanted to in the old city, which freed up time for us to explore museums and attractions elsewhere in the city. (Specially shout out to Museo Larco, which is a must-visit, including is delicious and romantic restaurant!) I highly recommend doing this tour! Especially if you’re looking to make th e most out of your short time in Lima, or want to get a really solid foundation on exploring the old city of Lima.
