Museo Larco…AMAZING!!!! - Amazing!!! From start to finish. Driver and guide picked us up promptly at hotel. Daniel was very knowledgeable and proud to talk about his country during the ride to the Museo Larco. The property is beautiful, and the collection has been displayed and curated exquisitely. Dinner was amazing, service a bit slow but food was very very good. A must when you visit Lima

Worth every penny! - Both my friend and I highly recommend this one-of-a kind experience. Our tour guide Rosa led us on an insightful, late-night tour of the museum followed by dinner in an exceptionally gorgeous atmosphere. Beset with hanging bougainvillea, the Larco museum and restaurant is special place, not to be missed on any trip to Lima.

A very rich visual experience! - I recommend the program because the outdoor area of the museum is beautiful and taking it in the late afternoon and then at night makes all the difference. The museum itself is quite interesting and the erotic gallery is surprising. Dinner is very well served and the restaurant is beautiful. Victor (guide) and Jaime (driver) were super attentive.

Great fun, with a few minor issues - Firstly, we truly had a wonderful time. The museum is running, the restaurant incredible, and the guide was lovely. I was so impressed by how knowledgeable he was. There were just a few things that made this a less than five star experience for me. Firstly, the driver arrived over an hour early!! This made everything start on a really stressful note, because we weren’t clearly close to being ready. I was so shocked, I doubled checked everything in case they changed the time and I just didn’t see, but I’m confident they didn’t. Secondly, (and this is really petty but still) they charged us to have milk in our coffee! At such an incredibly nice restaurant (and it was) I thought that was kinda petty. It also meant we had to scramble around for cash at the end. The coffee is included but the milk is not. Again, just a little extra stress we didn’t anticipate. Anyway. Even with those issues, I still had a great time, and would recommend it.
