Hi, glad to meet you, my name is Alfredo R. . I am from Lima city, I live there and I work as a Licensed Tour Guide by the peruvian Ministry of Tourism (initials in spanish MINCETUR) for over 17 years. I am a Transfer Person, Tour Conductor and Tour Leader as well.
Finishing my studies in a local institute, I worked as Tour Guide in Lima city when I received some offers for working as Guide, Transporter and Tour Conductor out from my city: Puno, Cusco cities and Bolivia (Southern highlands) and after Chiclayo, Trujillo, Chachapoyas, Cajamarca and Piura cities (Northern coast and highlands).
Thanks to my experience, sometimes I am a Tour Advisor making tour programs and I can guide in different places talking about many themes.
Hope to meet you in Lima!

Was the only one for this tour, but Alfred was still kind enough to show me around. After showing me around Lima historic city, we took a trip to the very interesting China town, which is very different from any other China towns I’ve been to in other cities

Alfredo was great, even though I was the only one to show up he did the tour for me, he gave lots of information about architecture, history, and culture, and was also open to talking about anything I wanted, including personal interests not covered by the tour. He’s very knowledgeable!
