Creator's Key Takeaways

We have had such a great two days in Lima. And that food tour was unbelievable. We learned so much.

It was actually really nice, you guys, to wake up to the sounds of the city after being on the ship.

This is so much cheaper than doing a princess excursion.

We highly encourage an overnight stay here in Lima instead of wasting all your time on a bus.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book an overnight stay in Lima instead of just a day trip.
✓Use the cruise ship shuttle bus to and from town; do not take a taxi to the port.
✓Ensure your tour allows plenty of time to return for the shuttle, as it's the only way back.
✓Check the tour link provided for booking and pricing details.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting back to the ship on time — Use the shuttle bus and ensure your tour ends with enough time before the last bus at 4 PM and all aboard at 5:30 PM.
Safety in Lima at night — The city felt safe at night with lights and people out; an overnight stay is encouraged.
