What You Can Expect
Small Group Lima Discovery Walking Tour
On the way to the central market, you'll have the option of sampling the chicha morada drink and snack on churros. The market is a great way to learn about the local cuisine of Peru. On display is fresh produce from the jungle to the coast and the Altiplano. With local dishes and fresh juices, the central market will have something of interest for everyone!
A trip to Lima isn't complete without stopping at the San Pedro de Lima church. Built in the 17th century and modeled on the Iglesia de Gesu, the church still preserves its original bell and is still an important spiritual center for many Limenos.
After, you'll visit the Monasterio San Francisco, home to the large underground catacombs said to connect the monastery with nearby churches. Finally stop to rest and try a traditional Pisco Sour in the place where it was invented (or at least so they claim!).
The tour concludes in the Plaza de Armas. You're free to continue exploring on your own or your guide can assist you in getting you back to your Lima hotel.

A wonderful experience, history and modern culture woven in one trip. It is a "must do" if you want to get an overview of history of Peru and the coming together of 2 cultures, Inca and Spanish. Downtown Lima is clean and I felt safe, police is visible everywhere, they are very friendly and helpful and speak good English.
