Description:

Head straight into the heart of Lima—the vibrant and colorful Peruvian capital. This guided walking tour strolls through the City of Kings, and pairs places like the action-packed Central Market, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites with authentic culinary excursions.

Greet your local guide at the main door of the Bolviar Hotel, and kick-off your afternoon with a few introductory phrases in Spanish. Hear some insider knowledge about the historic hotel, before beginning your on-foot exploration. Walk down Jiron de la Union—a pedestrian-only avenue that links Plaza San Martin to Plaza de Armas.

Mid-saunter, listen to the untold tales of Lima until you reach San Pedro de Lima Church. A popular landmark, this ornate structure combines baroque alters lined in gold leaf with colonial paintings worth a closer peek. Swing by Central Market, and follow your guide past fresh-picked fruit and handmade crafts.

Visit Plaza Bolivar, then stop at Monasterio San Francisco—home to the huge catacombs—for a front-and-center look at the city’s UNESCO site. As the tour winds down, take it easy over a Pisco Sour—the beverage of choice among locals—while seated at the spot where the very drink was created.
