With an uninterrupted history of more than 2000 years, Lima is perhaps the most fascinating city in the continent. In many ways, it's a hidden city and the best way to appreciate its architectural and historical richness is by walking. Ancient pre-Columbian temples, Colonial churches and mansions, abandoned haciendas, Republican houses, early XX Century buildings and modern villas, all share a space, side by side, in this amazing city - surely the Americas' best kept secret.LIMA WALKS offers 11 architectural/historical walks, of which four in the historic centre and six in different districts, and two gastronomy walks, one on ingredients in the Peruvian cuisine and the other on regional gastronomy. The walks can be done in English, German, Spanish or Dutch. As of 10 dollar per person « less

Our Lima walking tour was the highlight of our three day stay. After two very standard group tours Ronald's insightful approach to the city he's obviously fascinated by was a rewarding experience. We were only able to book in for one half day tour so opted for a walk in the historic inner city. Ronald was able to give us... More

My Mum and I very much enjoyed our walking tour of Chorrillos. We found about the walking tours just by Googling and stumbled upon the website http://limawalks.blogspot.co.uk The walking tours offer a laid back experience, perfect for as part of a holiday or on a weekend. The best thing was seeing so much and learning so much but in a... More

Lima Walks provides an intriguing and behind-the-scenes peek into the history of Lima. The expertise of Ronald and his team is impressive - they uncover history that lies beneath the surface, underscoring ancient history, colonial times and modern-day realities in nearly every district of Lima. The Lima Walks team is not only knowledgeable, but presents information in an interesting and... More

This morning my wife and I took Ronald Elward's walking tour of La Punta, a tiny part of this huge city that juts out into the Pacific to the west of Callao. After the hustle and bustle (and noise and congestion and, alas, pollution) of Lima, La Punta seems close to Paradise, an old-fashioned seaside resort. Elward picked all the... More

I had a few days alone in Lima prior to starting a tour. I found Ronald at Lima Walks through Trip Advisor. I really wanted a culinary tour, and he most obligingly agreed to take just me. (many tours had a minimum of 2). He suggested we combine Barranco and his culinary tour. It was great. We went to 4... More

We had the great fortune to find out about Ronald while reading the LAN airline magazine on the flight to Cusco. So we contacted him and asked if he would take us on a walking tour when we returned to Lima. He was extremely accommodating, and we walked with him around the really interesting and artist-filled neighborhood of Barranca. Ronald... More

We were in LIma for two weeks visiting our son. We wanted to see more than just the ritzy streets of Miraflores and so decided to try Lima Walks. We did the walk in Barranco and it was so good we could hardly wait to take another. Ronald recommended the downtown walk starting at Plaza Armas, and it was also... More

While visiting in Lima recently we cabbed it to Plaza a la de Armas in el Centro (this plaza is the heart of Lima, containing the Cathedral, Presidential Palace, and the government buildings – the fountain here is about 350 years old and the government fills it full of pisco on Peruvian Independence Day) to meet up with Ronald of...

We arranged to meet Wilfredo for a couple of weekday walks on our arrival in Lima in early April (after more than 30 hours flight time from Perth Western Australia) so it was a good way to keep the adrenalin running!! Wilfredo is passionate about his city (as he is about human rights - we discovered later that he is... More
