Description
We’ll begin with a visit to the Banco de la Reserva Museum, where an impressive pre-Hispanic collection is displayed in the underground galleries — a perfect introduction to Peru’s ancient roots. Continue to the Museo Central and then stroll to Lima’s Main Square, the heart of the historic center. Capture stunning photos of the Government Palace, Cathedral, and City Hall, all surrounded by elegant colonial architecture. The highlight of our day is an exclusive visit to Casa Aliaga, a private mansion built in the 16th century by one of Francisco Pizarro’s closest companions. Still owned by the same family after 17 generations, this house is one of the oldest continuously inhabited colonial homes in the Americas. Wander through its luxurious salons and rooms as your guide reveals its romantic and mysterious past. We’ll finish the experience at a local Bodega, where you’ll enjoy a delicious Pisco and wine tasting, the perfect way to toast to Lima’s history and charm.

Fantastic Marco in Lima!
Marco was an amazing guide, very well-spoken and very knowledgeable. It was great to learn about some of the hidden gems of Lima’s city center and its architectural wonders like Casa Aliaga and the Hotel Bolivar, which we truly enjoyed. Highly recommend him as a guide and the activity as a whole.

Relaxing and worth it
My wife and I had the pleasure of going on this tour with Marco when we were the only guests. Marco was terrific and knew many things about Lima beyond the tour of the Aliaga Palace. The Palace was perfectly lovely and Marco entertained us during our stroll thru Lima. He shared his thoughts about Peru and we had a wonderful time. This is a relaxing tour at a nice pace for us.

Renzo was a great guide!
Renzo was an excellent guide for our Lima city tour! He was both knowledgeable and personable. Plus, he made the history interesting, with a variety of perspectives...he clearly loves the history of his country and city. His English is excellent. I highly recommend requesting him.

A Must-See Hidden Gem!
We stumbled on the listing for this tour and since I love old houses, we thought it would be interesting to see. It ended up being so much more and we're so glad we saw it! Casa Aliaga seems to be skipped by most tourists and people are really missing out. Because the owners still live in parts of the house, only a few people at a time can visit, so we had the whole place to ourselves. The architecture and decor are absolutely stunning. Our tour guide Marco Polo (he told us to call him "MP") was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all our questions (we love history too!) After the house, we walked around the area bit, learning more about the architecture and history of Lima and Peru. We ended the tour at a delightful bar to enjoy Peru's famous pisco sour. They're delicious, go down really smooth, and there's barely an alcohol taste, so proceed with caution or you'll be tipsy in no time!

A family home that deserves to be listed by UNESCO. Anyone expecting a gem would be enchanted, an incredible experience
UNESCO historic family home of the 17th century. Descendants of a companion of Pizarro. Incredibly beautiful, lots of little beauties. Thank you for letting me experience this. A highlight of my visit here in Peru. Thank you, thank you. 😊🌞
