What's included in the 3-day package?

The package includes accommodation for three days and transfers to/from key locations. It provides a framework for exploring Lima's historic centre and neighbourhoods independently, with guidance on highlights rather than a rigid daily itinerary.

Do I need to book tours or activities separately?

Yes. The package covers your base stay and transfers; museums, restaurants, and guided tours of specific sites are not included and should be arranged separately based on your interests.

Is the historic centre walkable?

Yes, the historic centre is compact and walkable, though streets are narrow and uneven due to colonial-era construction. Comfortable shoes and a good map (or offline Google Maps) are essential.

What's the best neighbourhood to base myself in?

The historic centre (central Lima) is ideal for seeing colonial architecture; Miraflores and Barranco nearby offer modern cafés, galleries, and coastal views. All are well-connected by public transport.

When is the best time to visit Lima?

September to November and March to May offer ideal weather (warm and dry). July–August can be cooler and overcast. Avoid December–February, the rainy summer season.

How does this package differ from a group tour?

This self-guided package gives you flexibility to explore at your own pace and choose your own restaurants and activities, rather than following a fixed group schedule. You'll receive a structured itinerary framework but autonomy to adjust.

our guide Dmitri sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours, 10/10

our guide Nadia had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
