Overview

The Free Tour of Lima will take you through 3,000 years of history showing you the must-see Lima and offering dozens of local tips and lots of things to see.

We will start our Free Tour right next to the statue of Jose Olaya.

We will venture into the Plaza de Rosario and there will be many incredible stories to tell, from the Portuguese messianic myth of the Inquisition to the capital of the Spanish Empire during the Napoleonic war. Another unforgettable stop will be when we pass by the Ishma Memorial and the Santo Domingo Church and tell you all about the Lima massacre of 1992. We will pass by one of Lima's most emblematic establishments and the more adventurous will taste the amazing Pisco.

Before heading to the last stop of our trip, and if the pace allows it, we will tell you all about Francisco Pizarro and the National Theater of Lima.

Arriving at the last stop of our tour, we will tell you all about President Leguía's reconstruction plans after the earthquake and the Rimac Triumphal Arch.

This is possibly the best walking tour of the city and as you can see, we pass through many of the must-see places in Lima.
