    Nice Tour
    Tour was very nice. We were picked up from the airport in a timely manner. The driver was great and I felt safe. Our guide Julia was wonderful. Very smart and showed us many things! The best part of the tour was downtown Lima. I wish I could’ve spent more time there. If I could’ve done anything different I would not have booked on a Sunday because everything in downtown Lima was closed and many of the streets were barricaded. I would like to reiterate that this wasn’t the tour operator’s fault. Just something I wish I knew in general!

    Outstanding in every respect
    Excellent brand new car and helpful, courteous driver who went out of his way to make the trip enjoyable. His driving was very safe at all times, reassuring in a country with often erratic road behaviour.The driver was very informative about Peru but never in an obtrusive manner The tour company were able to prepare an interesting and fairly-costed, bespoke programme at very short notice which was most welcome, also they readily showed flexibilty when changes were requested

    See a lot o Lima in one day!
    We had a great tour in Lima with Jaime and got to see each of the major areas of the city. It was our first time ever visiting the city so having a guide to take us around was so helpful so we could see the diversity of places-- ancient, colonial, modern, coastal, in-land, rich, and poor-- that make up this sprawling Peruvian metropolis. We never would have seen as much on our own. Jaime gave us a lot of insight into local life, culture, and history. We stored our luggage at the airport and had nothing to carry (recommended for mobility) so we were able to have Jaime leave us in coastal Miraflores at the end of the tour where we had a delicious seafood lunch at the restaurant he recommended--Punto Azul--definitely one of the best meals of our two-week trip in South America. We then wandered around Miraflores and Barranco on our own until we took an Uber back to the airport for our flight. Thanks for a great day!

    Amazing, organized and safe experience!
    Found their website and connected with them via whatsapp. Private car transfer from Lima to Huacachina starting at 5am. Jaime our driver was very professional, nice and easy going. Took us to Paracas first where we got to see sea lions and penguins then we had lunch, drove to Ica then visited Huacachina. There we got to explore the Oasis a bit and had a private dune buggy experience just for our group. After that, Jaime took us back to our hotel. 10/10 service, communication and would highly recommend. Shout out Jaime!

    Perfect tour during a Lima layover
    From the beginning they were very accommodating as they adjusted to our flight arrival time. Our tour guide Julia and driver Wilton were punctual and pick up instructions were very clear. Car was comfortable and clean. They took us to the main spots in Lima, Barranco, Miraflores and enjoyed the beautiful views of the ocean and had enough time for great pictures. Tour was full of fascinating history facts and guide was knowledgeable and very nice. My husband and I had our 1 year old with us and they were incredibly accommodating to our needs throughout the whole tour. They were very kind to drop us off back at the airport with option to stay and explore more if we wanted to. I recommend this tour especially if it's your first time in Lima and have a short time to visit! Thank you Julia and Wilton!

    Great Experience Highly Recommend
    It was a great experience overall… I decided to do a long tour (~15hrs) the day I had an international flight. They were very punctual and I was able to still get to the airport (which they kindly drive me to) with more than enough time to spare. I was with the driver Jaime who was a ton of fun and very out going. I highly recommend this trip, especially because it is a small group tour and there is more “customizability”, if you will. Highly recommend for the good crew, small sizes, and punctuality.

    Fun city tour
    We had a long layover in Lima and decided to book a tour of the city…it certainly did not disappoint! Our driver Jaime was highly professional and punctual. The guide, Julia, was very knowledgeable and took us to all the city highlights. As history lovers, we appreciated her detailing every single area we went to. Tour lasted roughly 5 hours and we felt like we were able to see a lot of this beautiful city. Thanks Julia, Jaime and Lima Discover!

    INCREDIBLE! Professional company and a fantastic memory.
    This was an INCREDIBLE experience and a bucket-list memory. This company was very professional and went above and beyond for us. We were staying out of the local area and when we contacted the company, they (Andres) arranged a private driver for us for an extra fee (which we were happy to pay to participate in this sea lion experience). We were so pleased with this excellent customer service. Our tour guide, Rodrigo, was very professional. He was polite, well-spoken, and translated everything in both English and Spanish on the tour. He helped with taking photos, with wetsuits and in the water. The captain was excellent and even took photos of all of us in the water which Rodrigo sent to anyone who wanted them. Overall, this tour was well worth it and we recommend this company. They even included hot coffee for everyone at the meeting place. :-)

    Swimming with sealions
    Was amazing. They offer pick up from airbnb. Swimming with the sealions was beyond amazing. They provide the wetsuits. The tour guide is informative and funny. Snack was provided after swimming.

    Priceless experience with this agency. BOOK NOW
    The tour was arranged for us and detailed the day before. The morning of the tour we were picked up at our hotel, and the experience was the best. We had your guide Vilko who speaks multiple languages and he helped us navigate through our tour. We were in the best hands with this tour agency and our guide. We did Huacachina and Paracas and we didn’t feel rushed. This agency is the best and when we return we will use them again. My spouse and children loved this tour. Even stopped at markers so we could take pictures and Vilko took the photos for us. It was such a memorable experience. I am truly grateful for this agency.

    Perfectly as advertised.
    This tour is the best deal - includes all the fees, and transfer to/from the hotel in Miraflores made it super convenient. Got to see all the various birds, Humboldt penguins, and of course, seeing, and hearing, the sea lions up close in their natural habitat was spectacular.

    Surprisingly Fun
    I am not a swimmer and I don't generally appreciate boats but this was worth it. An hour to the island was easy. No pressure to jump in the water. Quite a delight to watch all the action from the boat. A bit pricey but worth it. A truly unique experience.

    Fantastic last minute private tour
    Our group of 7 contacted Lima Discover the day before we wanted to go on an adventure. We did Huacachina and Pisco/wine tasting but didn’t want to do Paracas and couldn’t find many companies that offered that. Andres got back to us quickly and we were able to sort it out in no time and for less than it would cost to go on a larger tour. Javier was our tour guide for the day, we had a dedicated driver as well. We had the best time in Huacachina and the Pisco/wine tasting was fun. They made sure to add in a few things here and there to make the trip special and it was greatly appreciated. Would highly reccomend.

I recently went on a cruise which was stopping off at the Port of Callao(Lima). The shore excursions organised by my cruise liner were expensive and feed back I received from past passengers were that the guides were there to do their job. After reading about the hidden dangers In Lima , I decided I had better do some research. I looked at the internet and skyped other fellow Australians who had been to Peru. Lima Discover tours , a local tour was highly recommended. I shared these reviews with my cruise buddies and twenty –one of them signed up with me to go on a shore excursion.
Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Andreas and his friendly team at the Port. The tour was extremely well organised and cruise members felt at the end of the day that Lima Discovery staff should be the ambassadors for Lima as they exceeded our expectations and did their best to give us a flavour of their alluring vibrant city. The Lima Discovery team had strong communication skills, they were personable, enthusiastic and outgoing and had a keen sense of direction.

Andreas the Tour director can only be described as a triple cappuccino – with his effervescent personality, he told us about the city’s planned facts and statistics bringing in his own knowledge, experience and personal anecdotes to the tour. Members of his team specialised in describing the different attractions and they seemed to have memories like steel traps imparting all the knowledge and interesting facts about their city on us They made many of us feel particularly special as we were looking for a genuine experience outside the typical tourist attractions. Another unique factor about this tour is that we were given lots of choices-after a presentation of several attractions in the area we were given thirty minutes to walk around and spend more time in an area that interested us.Each team guide tended to centre around an attraction so you could spend more time in one area knowing that you could not get lost because there was always a guide to direct you back to the main group. Lastly, Andreas is a tour director who knows how to improvise, for example, cruise passengers on other shore excursions complained that the traffic on that Sunday was particularly slow However, we did not notice it as much as we were entertained on the bus by a Peruvian musician ( part of Andrea's team).He performed a couple of musical items on the bus including “ El Cóndor Pasa .“ Highlights included a City Tour,the Museum of the Catacombs,San Pedro and San Francisco church,a visit to the chocolate museum to sample and purchase , shopping for alpaca attire, going to a local fruit l market where Andreas cut up all sorts of fruit for us to try whilst we experienced a cultural show.in the afternoon , we went to the Miraflores, an exclusive residential and upscale shopping district south of downtown Lima district. We were given many choices- some of us went with one team member to do more serious alpaca shopping and others did more exploring- Kennedy Park ( Cat Park) and El Parque del Amor ( Lovely Park of Love) .
Everyone commented that it was a such a beautiful day and they were sorry that it had ended.
One cruise member who spends her time cruising said that this was the best tour she had experienced in the last couple of years.
For me that one day Tour from Port of Callao shore excursion is a life-time memory.

This tour was an okay look at the city of Lima. The process of getting assigned to our guide and bus was a bit long and confusing. However our guides Mabel and Jaime were wonderful, informative, helpful and knowledgeable. Lima is a city of lots of traffic, and we spent a lot of time in the bus getting from one site to another. Our lunch at a restaurant in the center of town was delicious, but took way too long to get our group served and get back on our way. It isn't the tour company's fault that Lima is so crowded, and we did get to see the city much more cheaply than through the cruise ship's excursions.

I was fortunate enough to book with Lima Discover, and could not recommend them highly enough. My guide was Vilko, and he made it one of the best tours I have ever taken. I would ask for him, if at all possible. Even though I booked during the high season for cruise lines coming through, I was the only one who booked for this day, so it was essentially a private tour.

Vilko arrived at my AirBnB precisely on time, and proceeded to chauffeur me to any of the highlights of Lima that I was interested in. The whole time, he also provided a fascinating running commentary on the growth and history of the city, the different types of neighborhoods, the people, the traffic, etc. He also tailored his topics to those in which I am interested, which made it even better. We visited the most important churches and historic buildings in the City Center, where we also looked in at museums/shops featuring varieties of pisco, coffee, and chocolate (heaven!). He was also able to time our passing near the Presidential Palace in time to see the changing of the guards. Next we walked around part of the beautiful neighborhood of Barranco where he explained much of its history and characteristics, and we took a short break to sip coffee at a wonderful Barrancan cafe. Finally, we sampled the market in Miraflores where Vilko explained many of the different fruits, vegatables, etc., most of which I had never even heard of. Finally, he dropped me off at my place after a very satisfying 6 hours of touring.

What was remarkable was that Vilko knew so many of the people we came across. He is obviously intimately familiar with the city. (In addition to being fluent in English and Spanish, he also seems to speak German.) Finally, he made the wonderful gesture of putting me in contact with one of his many contacts in the city about a possible real estate deal.

Overall, I whole-heartedly recommend Lima Discover's Lima City Tour from Port of Callao to anyone who wants to see a broad swath of Lima in one day, and especially with Vilko. He is extraordinary!

My wife and I were very happy with the tour. We were pleasantly surprised by the live music the tour company (Lima Discover) arranged for us to provide additional entertainment en route to our destinations. We visited all stops as promised and more. Tour guide even bought locally available exotic fruits for us to try. What more can we ask for?

We had booked a city tour of Lima with Lima Discovery and our guide Mabel met us at the shuttle bus stop where we transferred to a minibus.

Our first stop was a square in the centre of Lima where we stopped to take photos. We drove a bit further then got out of the minibus for a walking tour.

We walked to St Peter's church which is built in the style of Seville Cathedral and very beautifully decorated.

Then it was a short walk to the church of St Francis. The church used to be a monastery and after viewing the church and the library we went to see the catacombs. These lie beneath the church and house the bones of the monks who died there. Originally the monks were buried in the ground and when their bodies had decomposed they were dug up and their bones were separated and collected into types. They were then displayed in cases and boxes.

Leaving the church of St Francis, we walked through the government district to the central square. The tour then stopped at a local restaurant for lunch.

After lunch we boarded the minibus again and drove for about 40 minutes to a local artisan market where we bought some souvenirs. Then it was back to the bus. A visit to the Love Park on the coast rounded off a very good tour.

Wilcox our guide met us at the mall where the shuttle bus from the ship dropped us. He was on time, spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable. He took us to a good restaurant for lunch (Not included, but good value) he and Jaime our driver were great people to spend a day with. I would recommend this tour it was the same tour as the ship offered but far less costly.
