La importancia de recorrer Lima con un guía profesional certificado

What's included in our Free Walking Tour of Lima's Historic Center

The main tour consists of a roughly 2-hour walk through Lima’s Historic Center, which UNESCO designated a World Heritage Site in 1991. The tour begins at Plaza San Martín and takes us through the most iconic sites of the city founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535: Plaza Mayor, the Government Palace, Lima Cathedral, City Hall, Jirón de la Unión, the Convent of San Francisco, as well as colonial-era spots that many tour guides fail to mention.

The Importance of exploring Lima with a Certified Professional Guide

Lima boasts a history spanning nearly 500 years, and every corner of the city center has a story to tell: a church, a colonial balcony, a legend from Trujillo. Without someone to explain it, visitors miss out on at least half of what there is to see.
The tour is led by a graduate in Tourism and an Official Guide accredited by MINCETUR, which means: a completed university degree, a valid professional license, and state authorization to practice. In the city center, there are many people offering tours without accreditation, which means that if the information provided is incorrect or if something goes wrong due to a mistake, you’re on your own.
