Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

See a different side of downtown Lima. The city is already adored for its beautiful plazas, balconies, and colonial buildings, but we’re going to take you out to experience the local food and nightlife. Lima is best known for ceviche and pisco sours, but the city has far more to offer — and we’re going to take you out to experience it! Our Lima tour takes you to one of Lima’s most popular streets for a few bites of street food, as well as some of Lima’s most historical bars.
We’ll start at the fountain of the main plaza of Lima, the Plaza de Armas, which has been a meeting point for Limeños since colonial times. You’ll hear anecdotes of the nightlife of old Lima as we head out to explore the district.
Your first stop will be the longest-running bar in Peru, famed not just for its age, but for the many presidents and politicians who have visited it over the years.
From there, it’s time to eat! We’ll walk a few blocks away to a dynamic area well-known for the many vendors of anticuchos (beef hearts), picarones (small donuts), and other traditional Limeñan street food. You’ll become an expert in Peruvian snacks as you sample a number of dishes (good for soaking up the alcohol that will continue to come).
Your Lima tour will head along one of the busiest pedestrian streets in the city and straight into an old, haunted German bar, famous for its live piano music and the ghost of its original owner — who is said to still play the piano each night.
From there, we’ll take you a nearby traditional 1920s bar, which got its start as a small grocery store: Limeños would buy their groceries and stop for a drink while they were there. This bar also prepares its own pisco, and it’s here that you’ll learn all the many drinks that can be made from pisco (hint: way more than just sours).
Your Lima tour will end back at the main plaza San Martín, and we’ll help you secure a taxi to get back to your hotel or to your next destination.
