Please note that we will need 5 soles (to cover the cost of the ticket which is 3.50 soles per leg + internal administrative costs), the bus ride is approximately 30 minutes per route, so the tour in general is 2 hours + transfer time.

* At the end of the tour, if you wish to return to Miraflores, we will help you take the same transportation system. If you wish to stay, we will give you all the instructions so that you can return on your own and continue enjoying Lima.

The tour must have a minimum of 5 people.

Groups of more than 6 people are accepted upon prior coordination. If there is no prior coordination, we limit our right to accept your participation in the tour.

#IMPORTANT
This is a free tour, like all walking tours around the world, the guides work independently, covering our own transportation and logistics (payment to the GurúWalk platform, among others). We will try to provide good company, so we hope to be well rewarded at the end of the tour. It is normal for guides to expect to receive between 60 and 100 soles per person, considering that these tours usually cost up to 70 USD per person.


We promise you'll like it.
