It was ok but it cost us S/.200.00 a bit much.

The tour guide was good. Walking in the busiest street of Lima, with honking cars and crowded, streets wasn't my favorite, but it gave a good overall picture of Lima as a metropolitan.
Things to Do in Lima
Lima is a one-of-a-kind destination jam-packed with history, attractions and delicious food. After a morning spent roaming the many sights of the Old Town with Lima Free Walking Tours, try some authentic ceviche made with freshly caught fish; heavenly! Ask your guide for restaurant recommendations. For a break from the city center go to Miraflores and walk along the Malecon boardwalk for spectacular views of the ocean and beach below. Aim to go there in the evening so you can see the sun set over the ocean. Miraflores is also home to Huaca Pucllana, a clay pyramid constructed around 500 AD. A visit here will transport you back over 1000 years. It would be a crime to visit Lima and not try a pisco sour, so head to the district of Barranco for the best bars. If you are looking for lights, music, and fountains, then a visit to the Magic Water Circuit is a must. It is truly a spectacular sight.
