      Miraflores to Historic Lima. Private tour.
      We very much enjoyed our visit to the historic center of Lima. Our guide Marissa provided us with a lot of information about the history of the city and its surrounding area.

      Interesting combined bus and walking tour of Lima
      The trip is a mix of a panoramic bus tour of the centre of Lima, combined with a walking tour visiting the key sites. The tour was made interesting by the knowledgeable guides. When the walking tour began we were split into Spanish and English speaking groups with a separate guide for each, which undoubtedly helped.

      An informative tour that was good value for money!
      Very interesting tour - we learned a lot about Lima and Peru in a relatively short time. The pace of the tour was just about right for the mixed group that was participating as it involved easy walking for 1.5 hours as well as the bus tour of 2.5 hours. Our guide, Melissa, was knowledgeable and communicated well. She was always willing to answer any questions raised by the group. Given this was our first visit to Lima, we would recommend this tour to fellow travellers.

      Can’t recommend
      Although the views were nice, I did not enjoy this tour very much. There was only one souvenir store we stopped at and not one food & beverage store during our 4 hour tour. The English tour was no good because the guide did not speak proper English and it was very difficult to understand, so we did not learn much at all. Unfortunately, we did not have the option to walk on our own. I would skip this tour, and see central Lima on your own.

      Very pleasant experience
      The guides were great! Very patient…My husband and I were with 3 people in their 70s and 80s who walked but had to take some breaks: and a 2 and 7 year old. The website was easy to navigate to purchase tickets and easy instructions to get to the departure place. Nice experience overall.

      At $35, this tour is not a good value
      I did a 4-hour Turibus tour in Lima this past week. At $35, this was NOT a very good value. $20 would have been more appropriate for what you get. The tour was both in English & Spanish, and I was NOT able to understand 10% to 20% of the English--either it was NOT loud enough to be heard in traffic, or I was NOT able to understand the accent of the speaker. I kept asking myself, "What? What?" In the tour description, it said USB chargers for phones would be provided. However, it provides charging PORTS on the bus. There are no charging cables available. The tour description also said that we would "explore" Kennedy Park, Huaca Pucllana, and "many monuments with a great historical legacy." This is a bit misleading. We drive past these sites. However, we don't stop. And there's no opportunity to deboard. We DO stop at the historical center, and there's a 90-minute walking tour. It's OK, but it feels very rushed. In hindsight, I would have taken a taxi to the center and spent more time there. Must of the 90 minutes is spent at the Santo Domingo Monastery, which is lovely, but we don't have a chance to go up to the clock tower for the view. Returning to Miraflores seemed to take forever. There was heavy traffic, and we didn't take the expressway for some reason. As it was running late, I deboarded early and walked back to my hotel. All told, at $35, this was simply too expensive. And no snacks or water is provided.

      A great way to get an overview of Lima Peru.
      This 4 hour Bus tour is the best way to get to know about Lima Peru and it's history as well as the best sights in the oldest part of the city. Our English speaking guide Wilma was excellent: very knowledgeable and communicated the right amount of details so as to make the 2 hour walking tour very memorable. The bus ride around the city was smooth and informative thanks to the other bilingual guide interspersing his commentary in Spanish & English. All in all it was excellent value for money.

    The perfect tour to introduce you to the city of Lima! We toured from Miraflores to the Historic City Centre on a bus before exploring the historic centre on foot. Melissa and Elizabeth were our incredible guides! Perfect tour for both English and Spanish speaking tourists.

    The guide was very knowledgeable so I learnt a lot. The cathedral of Lima entry was included and as security is still very tight in the central area, I was glad I had this tour. She explained history and religious facts etc a lot. Impressive knowledge. A few things that can be improved are 1) guide should sit upstairs with tourist and chat. At the end I had to go down to ask if this is it. 2) at city centre we walked around and it got hot and we got thirsty. At this price of tour, I think a bottle of water (200 cc) can be included but it wasn’t. A couple were very thirsty but didn’t have Soles and guide didn’t help. I offered but I only had 100 soles bill so couldn’t buy from a stand. They went into a shop to buy a bottle of water w credit card so they became a few min behind. The guide got upset saying,” you two have to find your way yourself!” She already knew they were very thirsty n didn’t help so I felt this is unkind. After this, when all gathered again, she took us to a convenience store a few meters away- and said “this is where you can buy water with cash and credit card.” I had just finished my water so I walked in to buy. They didn’t accept cash so I tried to pay with my card and my international bank credit card sent a notification to my phone 2Soles was paid but it didn’t reach their server so the worker didn’t let me buy. I asked the guide to help but she said she can’t. I was going to give her tip of 20 soles but as she couldn’t even help with 2 soles bottle of water, I didn’t tip her in the end. I guess the tour company can offer water in the bus as I guess it’s not her part of responsibility. A bit of flexibility would have been nice though. (She did let me get off buss early as I had plan after this. )

    Tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip interesting. Covered lots of things during tour in only a few hours so great if you only have limited time to see some of Lima. The tour does include a lot of walking - so if you have mobility issues then don’t do this tour. I was tired after 2 hours of walking and standing. And be prepared to duck when the open roof bus passes by tree lined streets and the tree branches slap you silly. But overall it’s a good tour although it would have been better if it was a little longer time to allow the group to stop at some places to buy a drink or a snack (while resting) and time to pause to enjoy the locations more.

    The bus only stops at Lima Cathedral square, stays for a few minutes and takes us to visit a museum. Very expensive for what it offers. There is a 50% off promotion on the website that suggests it is for everyone, but it is only for residents of Peru. They immediately make you pay the difference. Take an Uber to this square which is practically the same thing.

    We paid approx $35cdn each for the 4 1/2hr tour . Was good ride and lots to see , cover was on the roof which I would have preferred open .( maybe cold to others?) The tour guide was informative but sure talked lots , I realize she had to do english and spanish but a break occasionally is nice . We got off in old Lima city square for a 1 1/2hr guided tour which my wife and I did not want to be part of, prefer on our own. Tour guide not to accepting of this but finally told us where to meet the bus as it did not stay at drop off point . Were told to be 15 min early , gave us 1hr 15 min to explore the square , walking street , a very nice church etc… We finally found the bus , directions were not so clear but still 10mins early. Sat in the bus for 55 mins before guide and some of tour group showed up , so 1 1/2 hr stop was 2 1/2 hrs , she blamed part of group when we asked her what happened ???? About 1 hr to get back to Miraflores in heavy traffic , driver did a great job! Scheduled to be back at 6 , was 7:10 lol . So if you are counting on time be aware , was a good afternoon/evening still.

    Easy way to see a little of Lima. Although the bus had a duo lingual guide it was impossible to hear over the noise of the traffic (even though it was early Sunday morning) and very difficult to comprehend. The tour in the city centre ends with a visit to a shop and pisco sour tasting.

    We like to take a bus around the town to orient ourselves of areas we want to see more of while in the city. Traffic is tremendous in Lima. Construction is everywhere. We did see the main square, the Dominican convent, and had a walking time through one of the pedestrian / shopping areas. The english speaking guide was good and there were only 10 total individuals on the tour.

    Bryan was an excellent tour guide. He provided education and details about the locations visited. His English was excellent. The guide itself was well organized. It was somewhat cold on the top level so recommend dressing warm, however it was winter time. For the price the experience was worth it.

    Honestly the tour wasn’t very good. You drive to the historic downtown, but the information shared by the tour guide was very basic. And they did it in both Spanish and English so each description was very brief. I think just going downtown and walking around you will get a similar feel for the city.

    The guide was not well heard because of the noise of street traffic and some disrespectful tourists who spoke on the phone or shouted to each other without respecting anyone. Our departure was on a Friday afternoon and the traffic was chaotic that made the bus ride turn into something heavy. They didn’t give us time to enjoy taking pictures or admiring the works they were showing us.
