    An excellent introduction to Lima

    We were greeted on time by our marvelous guide and driver. We had an excellent introduction to the history of Lima and historical sites. The tour of Larco Museum was thoughtfully structured and fascinating - a real highlight of our time in Peru.

    Great 1:/2 day tour

    Very informative, excellent knowledgeable guide Maxwell. Catacombs were awesome. Private residence and museum of Inca artifacts was great

    Response from the operator: Dear David, thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Maxwell made it informative and engaging. Visiting the catacombs, Casa Aliaga, and the Larco Museum truly offers a fascinating glimpse into Lima’s history. We hope to welcome you again on another discovery in Peru!

    Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum cost?

    +

    Prices start at $118 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.

    Is Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half-Day Private Tour to Casa Aliaga, San Francisco Convent and Larco Museum start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lima?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima, Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset, Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lima?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lima?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
