2-day small-group Lima shore tour from Callao with Pachacamac, Lima catacombs, the Magic Water show, and Villa El Salvador, plus local meals.

“This was a fantastic 2 day tour. It commenced with a visit to the settlement area to experience the work done by local women to enhance the lifestyle of the residents. Very sobering but wonderful visit. This was followed by a delicious lunch of local food. We then travelled to the historical centre of the city to see the beautiful buildings and the fascinating catacombs. Another meal was followed by a visit to the water park. A long but great day. The second day was a visit to the desert to see ancient Inca ruins. Amazing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 10 reviews · 7 hours · from $99

Guided Lima cruise excursion from Callao: San Francisco catacombs, historic plazas, Miraflores sea views, and a fruit market finish.

“Excellent tour, very happy with both guides. The young lady filled us in on the fascinating history and the guy took us to all the fabulous tourist spots but away from the crowds. The catacombs, Francisco church, the plazas. Even the fruit market was something we all enjoyed and tasting the different fruit was a bonus. A leisurely lunch was a bonus, most tours are so rushed. Loved, loved, loved this tour.”
