This city tour combines the classic highlights of Lima’s historic center with alternative, less touristic hidden gems. On this private tour, you’ll visit the traditional highlights such as the Plaza San Martin, Plaza de Armas with the Cathedral, Government Palace and City Hall and the San Francisco Church but you’ll also pass by the remainders of Lima’s city walls, China Town, the Central Market and many other hidden gems. Of course, the guide will tell you all about the history behind the colonial buildings but also share interesting facts and stories of life in Lima.

What makes this city tour of Lima unique is its alternative and local touch. Some of the places you'll visit are usually not included in the traditional city walking tours. Even though it’s just a block away from the main touristic area, these places are filled with locals going about their daily business.

You will walk by the major highlights of the historic centre of Lima: Plaza San Martin with the majestic Hotel Bolivar, the impressive Plaza de Armas or the main square of Lima with the Cathedral, City Hall, the Archbishop’s Palace and the Government Palace, the old train station transformed into the House of Literature, the San Francisco church and the many beautiful mansions with the typical wooden balconies. Besides these classics, your guide will also take you to some hidden gems such as the Park of the City Wall with a view of one of Lima’s oldest human settlements, Chinatown and the bustling Central Market, where many locals do their shopping. You’ll walk through a part of Lima that is just outside the tourist area but gives you a good idea of the ‘real’ Lima, full of people, little shops, a lot of colors. Your guide will tell you interesting facts about daily life in Lima, contemporary and recent history, and of course answer all your questions about life in Lima!

We had a long layover in Lima. Alfredo met us as soon as we walked out the door of the airport. He saw us before we saw him and then spent the entire day showing us around Lima for shopping and walking in beautiful parks from the olive groves in San Isidro, to the old colonial buildings in Barranco and finished the day walking from the Malecón in Mira Flores along the ocean view path for a beautiful view of the sunset where we had dinner at Mayta. Our driver, Sergio, kept our bags safe and picked us up when needed. He then took us back to the airport and helped with our bags right to the airport door. Highly recommend any tour with Alfredo. He is knowledgeable not only about Peruvian history but also current and local culture and places to go.

Alfredo showed us exactly what we wanted to see on our private tour in Lima. From the moment I reached out to Alternative Peru, Alfredo was responsive, articulate, helpful and kind. We explore San Isidro, Barranco and Miraflores. He made the entire day easy, relaxed and fun. We learned so much, saw off-the-beaten parts of Lima (which we wanted), from art, to coffee, high-end shopping, nature and the best food. We also just completely enjoyed his company. Sergio was a great driver, the van was clean and safe. We loved being able to leave all of our valuables in the van and explore with ease. Alfredo is a new friend and we will definitely be back for more tours. This is my 7th time in Peru and next time I come back, I will be booking with Alternative Peru!

Excellent walking tour through the historic area and busy urban center. Alfredo was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, and relaxed. He fit the tour around my interests, so I got less museum time and more market time. He provided lots of local insights and I’m glad i booked this tour. Highly recommend.

Alfredo was my guide for this Lima Historical Center walking tour and he made it a very interesting and memorable trip for me! He’s knowledgeable and the fact that he’s lived in Asia for several years, he was able to provide alternative perspectives for me to better understand Lima and Peru. We did a stop at the Hotel Maury for the best pisco sour in town and exchanged views of current affairs and politics - it was like traveling with a local friend! He’s very patient and helpful, he went the extra mile to help me buy a new pair of hiking shoes in preparation for my upcoming hikes in Peru. After the tour, he followed up promptly with a list of sites we visited on the day, which was very helpful for my own travel record. I appreciate him taking the extra time to do so. I truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it and Alfredo! Thanks again Alfredo!

Nice half day trip. Our guide Alfredo and driver were punctual. They picked us up at the hotel and drove around to see some sights. We started the walking tour from the city center and ended up in Chinatown. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The driver was absolutely skillful maneuvering around those crowded streets filled with not only cars but people selling things in between the lanes of traffic.

Our guide and driver picked us up at the hotel precisely at the time arranged. He then took us on a walking tour of Lima old city. all the usual sites were visited, ending up at 11.45 in the main square. The reason for this time was that it was requested by ourselves because we were aware of a 'Changing of the Palace Guards ' ceremony occuring at noon. He was happy to accommodate this into the itinery that he had arranged, then we continued to visit more areas of the city, ending in Chinatown. Throughout the day he talked of the history, the architecture and the people who lived in and around Lima, he answered our questions and was a very amiable guide who was just happy to please. The driver was punctual and picked us up at the end at the prearranged spot and time and delivered us back to the hotel. A brilliant day with two great ambassadors for their city. Thank you once again.
