LimaTours

LimaTours is one of Peru's longest-established travel companies. It was founded in 1956 and has its offices in San Isidro, and its motto is to design magnificent experiences tailored to each guest. The company focuses on designing and operating made-to-measure trips, with Lima among its destinations in Peru.

Its programmes cover a broad range of interests: history, living culture, archaeology, nature, family travel, romance, health and wellness, gastronomy, adventure and Amazon cruises. In Lima, you could ask the team to build days around the historic centre, with the Plaza Mayor, the cathedral and the San Francisco convent, around museums such as Museo Larco, or around the Pachacamac sanctuary, the vast pre-Hispanic site in the Lurín valley, as well as around the city's celebrated restaurants.

The company highlights its quality and responsibility credentials. It is certified under ISO 9001:2015 and WorldCob-CSR, holds a Marca Perú licence and is a member of international industry bodies including IATA and Virtuoso. For visitors, that means a well-organised operator with experience in handling logistics such as transfers, guides and timings, which can be valuable in a city as large and busy as Lima.

LimaTours suits travellers who want a fully arranged trip, including families, couples on a honeymoon, older travellers and anyone combining Lima with Cusco, Machu Picchu or the Amazon.

Practical details matter in Lima, and a planner can work around them: Maido opens reservations two months ahead on the first day of each month, Central and Kjolle are closed on Sundays, the Pachacamac sanctuary does not open on Mondays, and Museo Larco is open every day from 09:00 to 19:00. If you want a table at one of the famous tasting-menu restaurants, mention it at the start so the itinerary can be built around it.

The best way to use LimaTours is to contact the sales team well before your trip with your dates, interests and budget, and let them build an itinerary. The office address, telephone number and sales email are published on the website, which is available in Spanish and English. Allow time for the planning stage, and ask for a clear breakdown of what is included in each day of the itinerary.
