Lima evening tour with dinner and pisco tasting: private guide

Colonial plazas lit up at night, then pisco and Peruvian dinner in one evening

A private evening tour of Lima takes you through the Historic Center's illuminated colonial architecture—the Plaza Mayor, Cathedral, Government Palace and convents—then to Tintaya winery for pisco tasting, dinner at Cordon Blue restaurant, traditional desserts at Alameda Chabuca Granda, and finally to Miraflores Viewpoint overlooking the Pacific and the Malecon. Your guide picks you up at your hotel, speaks English or Spanish, and the five-hour tour includes transportation, all admissions, dinner and desserts.

The Experience

Your guide meets you at your hotel and drives you into Lima's Historic Center as evening falls. The colonial plazas and facades—the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral of Lima, the Government Palace, the Convent of Santo Domingo and the Convent of San Francisco—stand lit against the night sky. You walk through the streets with someone who knows the history of each building and can answer questions as you go, rather than reading plaques alone or following a group of twenty.

The route then leads to Tintaya winery, where you taste several varieties of pisco, Peru's emblematic spirit. The tasting includes the story of how pisco is made and its place in Peruvian culture—not just the drink itself. Dinner follows at Cordon Blue restaurant, where you eat Peruvian cuisine in an authentic setting with the meal already arranged and paid for. After dinner, the tour stops at Alameda Chabuca Granda for traditional Peruvian desserts: lime sigh, picarones, purple dungeon and rice with milk, all included in the price.

The final leg takes you to Miraflores, the modern district on the coast. At Miraflores Viewpoint you stand above the Pacific Ocean and the Malecon—the clifftop promenade—and have time to photograph the night view before your guide returns you to your hotel. The whole evening runs five hours from pickup to drop-off.
