Sightseeing
Centro Historico de Lima, is the Historic old downtown of Lima, It has breathtaking architecture and rich history of Lima. You can take an UBER or I can arrange a cab to Plaza San Martin and start your walk there. I recommend you go there early and grab breakfast there at one the cafe's in the area. The Cathedral is amazing and stay for the change of guard at 12pm.

Tanta is one of the many great restaurants San Isidro has to offer. I recommend this place as I've always had a good eating experience at this place. However, as I said San Isidro and Lima in general has some amazing places to eat. Ask your host and I can give you a list of places. This place is in the district of San Isidro a short distance away in a taxi/uber

Arts & Culture
Great Museum to visit and see an introduction to pre-Inca civilizations. This is great place to relax, enjoy some Peruvian food and treats and also learn about the Pre-Inca culture. The art can be a little strong for kids so be warn that if you are sensitive to these things I would suggest not taking kids.
