Itinerary
After pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle, start your tour at the Larco Museum, where you’ll learn about the inhabitants of ancient Peru with your knowledgeable guide. Housed in an 18th-century colonial mansion built on top of a 7th-century pyramid, the museum will open your eyes to the lives of pre-Columbian people through its vast collection of artifacts. See its 50,000-plus pots, as well as ceramics and jewelry, and hear about the displays as you tour the museum galleries with your guide.
Next, head to a local tavern, where you’ll take a break with a delicious Peruvian snack, accompanied by a pisco sour, a Peruvian drink typically made with pisco (grape brandy), lime juice, bitters and an egg white. Toast to your tour, and then head to your next stop – the Magic Water Circuit. One of the largest water shows in South America, the Magic Water Circuit is an extravaganza of water displays, light, lasers, images and music that must be seen to be believed. It takes place across a complex of several large fountains that shoot water into the air, impressing spectators of all ages. After your tour, you'll be returned to your Lima hotel.

Traveler reviews
Informative and Enjoyable Tour
Victor was an excellent guide. He was very professional and personable and provided a wealth of information in a short time during our tour of the Larco Museum. The Bolivar Hotel was a relaxing setting for our first taste of a Pisco sour. The light show was a beautiful ending to an enjoyable afternoon. The only reason the tour didn’t get a 5 star rating is because I felt it was over priced.
The Larco Museum was...
The Larco Museum was really interesting and our guide Maria Del Carmen was very friendly and gave us lots of information. Our driver got us safely between places and we really enjoyed the Magic Water Circuit show.
Magical
Monica was great and the Larco Museum was surprising. The Magic Water show was so cool. Thanks so much sharing some history.
Terrific four hour intro to Lima
Victor was very knowledgeable about the local and Peruvian history. We booked a shared tour but we were the only ones on the tour. It was perfect. Benjamin was our driver and navigated the streets with ease. The magical agua circuit show was beautifully done. Victor made sure we had the best spot to view it. Thank you! 😊 He made our first day in Lima a highlight.

She also made sure I had a great spot at the light and water show so I could take beautiful pictures of the water park. I had a wonderful time and the evening weather was perfect!!
