Self-Guide tour of Larco museum

ashuissar, Aug 2026

Due to language barrier, it was very difficult to understand our guide. We were expecting English speaking guide but due to her accent it was difficult to understand her. We could have gone ourself without the guide and could have read the writing underneath the display as the museum is pretty much self-explanatory. I won't recommend the need of a guide to visit Larco museum.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the guide’s accent made it difficult to follow the explanations, as clear communication is an important part of our service. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue improving the experience for our international guests. Kind regards

Extraordinary Museum in a beautiful setting

Susan_C, May 2026

Fabulous do not miss museum. Leidy our guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Pick up with easy and on time. Fascinating museum and loved learning about pre-Columbian history, understanding the beliefs and how the art, symbolism and pottery. Was so lovely with the beautiful flowers. This is a fabulous museum worthy of any Lima itinerary. I wish there had been more time or the option to have lunch in the beautiful courtyard.

Great introduction to per-Inca culture

Jeremy_K, May 2025

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
