Stop At: Centro Historico de Lima, Lima Peru
Our tour lasts 3 hours and can start anytime between 08:00 until 19:00. You will be picked up from your hotel or apartment at your preferred time. The tour starts going directly to Lima Historical Centre. We will visit the beautiful Palace of Justice, the seat of the Supreme Court of Peru and the French Building, the place where the first elevator in South America was installed. We will see the San Martin Square, park built in honor of Don Jose de San Martin, the general who declared the independence of Peru.
Once in San Martin Square, we will have some minutes to walk towards the Main Square of Lima through Union Street. This is a typical street where you can feel the local atmosphere and see many restaurants, shops, and churches along the way. Get amazed with the beauty of the design and architecture of the Cathedral of Lima, the Archbishop Palace, the Government Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Union Club. See the only pile in the center of the plaza made of bronze built in 1651 with an angel on top.
Our tour also includes an external visit through San Pedro Church, Santo Domingo Church, the House of Osambela - Oquendo, the House of the Peruvian Literature, the San Francisco Church, the Torre Tagle Palace, and other colonial buildings.
Finally, walk towards Chinatown and visit the unique restaurants, shops, and streets of this neighborhood. Learn the history of the Chinese immigrants who arrive in Peru in the 19th century that nowadays have more than 1 million people living in our country. After this activity, we will take you back to your hotel.

I received an email from the tour operator five days before tour regarding the timing, pick-up location, and phone numbers. I responded within a few hours. I did not receive a response, so I emailed again two days later. I did not receive a response. One day before my tour I called the tour operator and Viator. Neither of us could reach them. I find this very unprofessional behavior, and do not recommend this tour company.
