We really enjoyed this tour and recommend it as an introduction to the highlights of Lima. Our guide Elisa was very well informed and gave us many insights into Lima's history. We especially enjoyed the Larcoe Museum where we had a delightful lunch before touring the museum.

Private Full-Day Best Tour of Lima

I had a perfectly wonderful day in Lima with Maria and my guide and Bernardo as our driver. They were so gracious and and Maria’s knowledge of the history and sites were so informative, and she had an easy and comfortable way. As she had previously been a guide at The Larco, I enjoyed it in another way as my husband and I had visited before. As my husband was working, and I was on my own it was the very best solution and experience.

Wonderful overview of Lima
jonnysants
, Oct 2019
Our guide, Gabby, was extremely charming and knowledgeable and our driver was also cheerful and skilled. The essential elements of the tour are fantastic (San Francisco Monastery & crypts/Larco/ and a fascinating driving tour) the private aspect allowed us to add a visit to much less visited Inglesia Santo Domingo to see the remains of St. Rose of Lima (and two other notable saints). Also, in addition to being a beautiful botanical hacienda and museum, the Larco has a lovely restaurant.

Comprehensive Lima City Tour

We had a great city tour of Lima with Maricarmen. We hit all the highlights of the city and was particularly enamored with the Larco Museum. What was great was the Maricarmen had worked at the museum and was able to give us a very personal tour of the exhibits. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch at the museum restaurant. Highly recommend this especially with the crazy traffic of Lima!
