Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour With Food Tasting

Excellent response time from the company and Ceasar the owner arrived at the first stop of the tour to introduce himself and thank me for my business. I was the only one on the tour and Ceasar informed me that they never cancel even if there is only one person which I was very impressed with. Miguel was the tour guide. His English is excellent and he is very passionate about his city and his job. We rode the bus from Mireflores into the center of Lima and it was very fun. The stops on the tour included the local market and china town and the food was very diverse and all delicious! Miguel was such a gentleman and insisted on carrying a 40 pound box of school supplies he helped me purchase for a local community. I would highly recommend Miguel as a guide and the Travel Buddies Flavors & Tradition walking tour with Food tasting.

A fun way to enjoy some local food, drink, culture, and just get out to see Miraflores. We really enjoyed all the tastings and our time with Miguel. He was very friendly, well organized, and thoughtful. We appreciated having such a nice guide.

We had an amazing time learning about and tasting so many foods and drinks that are unique to Peru with our wonderful guide Miguel. The tour was in the centre of Lima, the old town, which is architecturally stunning. Miguel was very knowledgable about not only gastronomy but also the history of Lima; we learned so much from him and he was truly a delight. I highly recommend this tour for all the reasons noted above but also because we likely would not have eaten some of the unique and delicious food otherwise. Final comment - come hungry as you will be absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour.

I was very fortunate to be Jonathan’s guest for this four hour cultural and food sampling tour to downtown Lima. It was a fantastic experience using the Metopolitana bus system from Miraflores to downtown Lima and back. Jonathan pointed out places of interest and we journeyed to different local food eateries. It was an excellent way of trying Peruvian snacks, fruits and drink. Excellent demonstration and sampling of different Pisco drinks. Jonathan even followed up after the tour with links and pictures of things that we talked about on the tour. He molded my positive impression of Lima wishing I had more days to explore this wonderful city. Thanks for this experience!

We had a fantastic walking and tasting tour with Jonathan from Travel Buddies in Lima. Jonathan is very knowledgable about the history of Peru and took us on a great walk of Lima talking about the culture, history and stopping at various places to taste the local food. We would highly recomend this tour with Jonathan.

My husband and I did this tour and it was our favorite activity we did in Lima. Our guide Johnathon was personable and knowledgeable of both Lima and the foods we tried. And there was a lot of food! It was like having a friend show us around his city. After the tour he sent us information about all the food we tried since we couldn’t remember everything. I highly recommend this tour!

The walking tour was fantastic and had a great selection of different cuisines to try. Jonathan was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Especially his historical insights about the city of Lima. He answered all of my questions and couldn't help me enough. He even gave me multiple recommendations for other things to do and places to see in the city. Highly recommend this tour to start off your time in Lima.

Our guide was Jonathan and he was so nice. We had a short time in Lima but he showed us all the top sites we would have missed. The city is big and harder to navigate than Cusco without a guide. We ate so much food along the way, come hungry. At the end he gave us recommendations for dinner in our area. Great tour, book it!

We had an amazing tour with Miguel - we tried delicious local specialties and got to see the main sights in central Lima. I highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous street food, we were stuffed by the end! It was great to learn both more about Lima and the traditional food and drinks, which goes to make Peruvian food some of the best in the World!

Great experience. My guide was a native but spoke fluent English. Had been to school in the states. Showed me the central market where we sampled some of his childhood favorites, China town and Grand Hitel Bolivar where we finished off the tour with a Pisco Sour. Travelled like locals on the express bus lines from Miraflores to the old Central City. Fantastic.

Rudi was a great tourgide! Lots of information about Lima’s history and I tasted some good food (even as a vegetarian). Thanks!

SUPER tour! Diego was an awesome guide. We took the bus to Old Lima, then spent a lot of time in the city’s oldest market, sampling different foods. Chinatown, then street food, before taking the bus back to Miraflores. Don’t eat before this tour—you will be well fed. Highly recommend!!

It's a very nice tour that brings you to the important tourist sites in the center district of Lima, but also tells you a lot about the local food and street food. A good tour you won't leave hungry. Our Guide Miguel was very nice and helpful, and we now have more ideas for food to try then we can eat during our stay.

Best tour I've ever had. Our guide was amazing. Would definitely want to do it again. I learned so much and our guide really took his time and made sure we had an excellent experience.

Ximena was amazing! She was knowledgeable, passionate, and our conversations still stick with me. The food was great, but the context was invaluable. She was also really flexible and helpful with some scheduling issues we had. A huge thank you to Ximena for making our Lima visit extra special!

We had a great time with our guide Rudi. We met him at coffee show terrua where Andrea made us amazing coffee. We rode the metropolitan (public bus) and headed to the market to taste a smoothie made with local fruits. We continued to experience amazing local flavors. Churros. Arroz con leche with fruit. Brochettes. And finally a delicious pisco sour at the place it was invented. An extraordinary experience made possible with our guide Rudi.

Ximena was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about Lima and Peru. We tasted a variety of great Peruvian foods. And visited a lot of different establishments. There was something for everyone. We chose to stay in the historic area after the tour ended and she explained the bus system to us, so we could easily take the bus back to Miraflores. (The bus is very cheap and efficient between the historic area and Miraflores).

Far exceeded our expectations! A delightful day filled with amazing sites, delicious native Peruvian food, and engaging conversation with our guide, Chijo. Sampled everything from coffee to cheese to desserts and much much more. Highlight of our trip to Lima. A big thank you to Chijo and fellow travelers for making this such a spectacular day.

We had a great morning experiencing the food of Peru with Cesar. Really enjoyed the Central Market, tasting cheese, olives, and local fruits. On to China town with yummy dumplings and steamed buns. Then street food tastes before finishing with a delicious Pisco Sour. Add in the wealth of knowledge about the history of the City, we highly recommend this tour.

Miguel was an amazing guide!! Very friendly and had good recommendations. The food was delicious!
