We booked this less than 24 hours ahead of time and were delighted it was available! Our english speaking guide arrived on time,coordinating ride for us to join her on what was a private tour. She shared interesting information about Lima and Peru on the 1/2 hr ride to and from the museum. The museum grounds are a stunning colorful garden in full bloom. Many artistic and educational activities for children were in full swing. She led us through the collections which are pre-Colombian and archeological finds, are well organized and had english descriptions. She was very informative. professional and a sweetheart and we enjoyed some fun conversations along the way. Do this…you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful and highly educational trip with Lucas. He picked us up right on time and we drove to the museum in a spotlessly clean large van. Gave us a more than 2 hour tour through the museum, explaining everything in detail and answering all of our questions about the museum and Peru in general. Highly recommend!

A very knowledgeable guide took us on a very detailed and extensive tour of the museum. Only compliant is that we would have liked little more free time to explore on our own

Excellent tour - Martin’s knowledge was amazing and it was good to hear about the long term history of Peru. The pick up/drop off service was very good too.

I had William as my guide. He was really passionate about the history of Peru. Don't even think about going on your own. William pointed out all the little hidden details in the artifacts that I would have never seen on my own. He also tied everything together into how ancient Peruvians saw the world . The length of the tour was just right and William had my attention the entire time. One of the best tours I've ever done.
