Hi, glad to meet you, my name is Alfredo R. , I am from Lima City, I live there and I work as a Licensed Tour Guide, Transfer Person and Tour Conductor for over 18 years. Finishing my studies in a local institute, I worked as Tour Guide in Lima city when I received some offers for working as Guide, Transfer Person and Tour Conductor out from my city: Puno, Cusco cities (peruvian Southern highlands) and Bolivia, and then, Chiclayo, Trujillo, Chachapoyas, Cajamarca and Piura cities (peruvian Northern coast and highlands). Thanks to my experience, sometimes I am a Tour Advisor making tour programs and I can guide in different places talking about many themes. I have the costume to take objects to the tours to make you feel the peruvian History of the ancient cultures. Hope to meet you in Lima! *OFFICIAL GUIDE OF TOURISM - Credential by MINCETUR (peruvian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism) *OFFICIAL GUIDE OF TOURISM professional career - CEPEA Private Institute - Lima City *HISTORY-ANTHROPOLOGY-SOCIOLOGY free courses - NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF HIGH PLATEAU - Puno City *ENGLISH LANGUAGE - CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY Language Center - Lima City *PORTUGESE LANGUAGE - NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF HIGH PLATEAU Language Center - Puno City NO RESTRICTIONS

Great tour! Great guide!
Betty P.United States
Alfredo is a very knowledgable and excellent guide whom we highly recommend. As I write this we are looking forward to the second of two tours with him. He is patient, flexible and very personable. He customized our tour to meet our particular interests which included an in depth tour of the Larco Museum. He gave us a thorough understanding of the various cultures represented in that museum and took us to other interesting sites as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Alfredo. Our driver Cristian safely navigated the confusing traffic and we felt very confident in his car.

Alfredo and his driver expertly guided us to the Gold Museum (with its extra plus of the Weapons Collection) and the highly recommended Larco Museum. The guide was exactly the right combination of explanation and pointing out highlights then giving us time to look on our own. We would highly recommend this tour.
Claude N.United States
We were in Lima for a week and took 4 tours with Alfredo (Night of Lights, Huaca Pucllana, Barranco and Larco/Gold Museums). We enjoyed them all and highly recommend Alfredo. He was punctual, knowledgeable, flexible, personable and patient. His pre-tour replies to inquiries were prompt and helpful, simplifying the booking process. He easily adapted the tours to our pace and interests. By the end of our stay, we considered Alfredo to be more of a friend than a guide. Don't hesitate to use his services!
