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

Alfredo is great! He is very knowledgeable about Peru’s culture and history. He suggested a revision of our tour to include Barranco, which was very interesting. We were very grateful for his fascinating tours (we also went with him to Bellastes Islands), but also his thoughtfulness in arranging for drivers to take us to and from the airport; both drivers were prompt, polite, and had comfortable cars. I highly recommend Alfredo!
We spent an excellent day with Alfredo as we walked around the many parts of Lima. He arrived at our Hotel promptly and gave us an overview of the City before boarding a public bus towards the Historic Centre. He was extremely kind and respectful throughout the day - giving us enough time to look around and offer unique options of tourist events and locations. Our travels around the City were varied and illuminating. Very well done Alfredo!
Alfredo was very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. We are a family of five truly enjoyed our tour around Lima. We will highly recommend him for future travelers.
When I first met Alfredo at the airport, I just asked him to surprise me. He was definitely up to the challenge. We went to a series of places tucked away in parts of Lima that weren't often visited by other tourists. He showed me a diverse set of art, architecture, and culture. Alfredo was friendly and deeply knowledgeable. He really went above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely engage him again next time we are in Peru. -Skipper
We had a really good day with Alfredo. He knows everything about Lima. The cemetery was really interesting!
We had a fabulous tour with Alfredo, he met us as arranged at our hotel and we caught local taxis, trains and buses throughout our tour. We booked a private tour as we were doing a group tour the following day. Alfredo was able to tailor the tour and take us to places we were not visiting as part of our group tour. We feel that this way we will have seen the very best of Lima. Alfredo is very knowledgeable and very passionate about his city. We had the best day and highly recommend Alfredo
