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

Overview of your Lima tour

Our tour begins in Miraflores that is the most modern zone of Lima, where Larcomar and the Love Park are located. We'll make a little stop for a panoramic view of Huaca Pucllana, the biggest archeological site of the urban area of Lima. Then we go to Lima Centre crossing San Isidro, to see foreign embassies. There we see the Olive Grove Park, the oldest Olive trees of the whole country. In Lima, we visit the Central Reserve Bank Museum (Museo del Banco Central de Reserva in Spanish) to watch a special collection of objects made of gold, ceramics, and textiles of many pre-hispanic cultures and one monastery (Santo Domingo monastery or San Francisco catacombs, you choose). Colonial mansions and balconies, Main Square, Government Palace, San Martín Square. After the visit, we'll back to your hotel. (Central Bank Museum is closed on Saturday and Sunday during the afternoons. Monday is closed all day. We can visit other places: El Olivar Park, Larcomar or San Cristobal hill).

This was an amazing experience. Having someone as knowledgeable as Alfredo guide us through the center of Lima, interpreting for us the significance of the architecture, history, religion, and modern ways of life was worth every penny. My 19 and 17 year olds even enjoyed themselves! I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an introduction to Lima culture, history, and life. Also, Alfredo's driver was prompt at the pickup location and made us feel safe and very well cared for on Lima's crazy streets!

Great overview of Lima. For first time visitor to Peru, Alfredo gave a great introduction to the country and the city in 4 hours. Makes one want to come back for more in-depth exploration of Lima.

Alfredo could not have been more fun, friendly or accommodating! He combines his encyclopedic knowledge of Lima’s architecture, history and culture for a well-rounded and informative tour. We had a great driver (Christian) but we also walked extensively, and Alfredo let us choose many of the options. Plus, he bought us authentic Peruvian style churros! As Catholics we also appreciated that he could easily discuss the history of the church here as we toured the Basilica and Monastery of St. Dominic and climbed the bell tower to see all of Lima. We booked him for our first day here which was perfect as it gave us a foundation for future days. And he knows his restaurants. We have zero hesitation in recommending him.

Knowledgeable guide and excellent driver provided a tour customized to my interests and limitations. Great communication before the tour started as well.

Alfredo is an outstanding tour guide. I have taken many tours worldwide but few tour guides can match Alfredo’s depth of understanding of the history, culture, and architecture of, in this case, Lima and Callao. And to top it off, Alfredo is a really nice guy who goes all out to make your tour an enjoyable one. You won’t go wrong choosing him as your guide.
