Weapons and armor - I recommend visiting the Larco Museum first, as there is more information there. This is a private collection of Inca pieces, mainly gold pieces. Furthermore, it has a wonderful collection of weapons and armor from around the world, including a weapon that was given to Dom Pedro.
Right at the entrance, they say you have to pay for a guide, who are historians who explain everything, but we didn't want to and went alone. Be careful, because the way they talk, it seems like you can't visit without a guide. And it's far away.

Private Tour Experience - Excellent experience with Vipac Travel the Lima provider. Not good experience with Tripadvisor, Tripadvisor has to improve customer communication.
The provider picked us and returned us to the hotel via private transportation. The guide was a TRUE bilingual tour guide. He explained surrounding locations while traveling to/from the museum, and was knowledgeable of the gold collection. I would have liked more history on the arms part of the tour. The museum is fascinating on its gold & arms collection, breathtaking.
It was a good PRIVATE tour experience.

Very interesting - The museum was very interesting. We took our time and look at all the fascinating items. Smaller kids would probably find it boring, but our teens were intrigued.
