Valeria was such a great guide, knowledgeable, educational, friendly, funny, and interactive. The spots for food tasting were superb, flavorful, a little bit of everything.

We had such a fantastic time on this tour! All of the dishes were delicious and felt authentic. Our tour guide, Marcos, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable on the food, history, and architecture.
Paola was a good guide. There was a lot of walking, but we saw in addition to the food, a lot of churches and architecture.
David was a perfect guide! So Nice to get a lot of explanations and sas Joe the food was prepared.
David was great! We loved all the food, especially the sandwich. We thought it was a good way to experience Lima as we stopped to see multiple sights along the way.
My guide, Paola was amazing. I had a great time and ate so much food!! Would definitely recommend.
Marcos was a fantastic guide and full of information!
Had the best experience! Our guide, Aura, was fantastic. She made us feel comfortable, answered all our questions and was incredibly warm. I highly recommend this walking food tour.
Amazing experience! We discovered sides of Lima that standard touristic routes normally wouldn’t show, and we tasted the most authentic Peruvian food. Our guide, David, was really nice and shared plenty of curiosities about Lima. I definitely recommend this experience.
An amazing experience of food and history in Lima. We started near the Plaza St. Martin and we Made a full tour of the flavours and the history of Lima. Our guide, David, is an excellent one and a great guy. Recommended. I loved every meal of the tour.
Very good tour! Walked through lima city center, enjoyed the night.
I had a great time on this tour! All of the food was delicious, from picarones to Japanese-Peruvian seafood to grilled beef heart, it was all amazing. Our tour guide David was also super nice and loved to share personal stories as well as interesting facts about the places we visited. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to learn more about Lima while also having a great time and eating tasty food!
David was very fun and knowledgeable. We are a BUNCH of really great foods that are not the usual you find on tourist menus. The value for cost was excellent! I would highly recommend this, and if you can get David, it will be even better.
Wonderful experience! Guide was fantastic
You can't come to Lima and not experience this tour! Our tour guide, Paola, was the absolute best. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, charismatic, fun, patient, full of energy, and happy to answer any and all questions. The food provided on the tour was exotic and wonderful.
We had a fantastic experience with the best guide imaginable. A great tour if you have just arrived in Peru or don’t know much about the local cuisine. A well-varied and well-organized program!
Fun experience! Arua is very knowledgeable and interactive. Highly recomend!
What a great way to experience the places that the locals eat delicious Peruvian cuisine. Thanks Aura! You are fabulous.
It was amazing and Marco was amazing host
Marcos was brilliant a really knowledgeable guide who was also great fun to chat to as we walked around.
Four hours of pure delight in Lima’s historic city center with Valeria. This tour was billed as a street Food and Old Taverns Tour, and it did not disappoint. We walked, saw amazing sites with bits of history included and had some delicious food and drink. We HIGHLY recommend Valeria for this experience.
Very knowledgeable. Good way to see the sights and try the food. Guide was personable. Glad we saw the square at night
Marcos was a phenomenal guide and he was very knowledgeable. He’s also very patient while we took our photos and encouraged us to try everything ! It was worth it
Informative and great food overall. TBH I didn't try the organ meat though... Be advised, you get a LOT of food, so don't eat beforehand!
Our guide was so knowledgeable about Lima and Pervian food. One of the best food tours we've ever done.
We spent wonderful evening on a tour guided by Aura. The choice of places to try different foods was great, so was the variety of things - from various fruits, through seafood and meat, finishing with mouthwatering desserts. Aura was very informative and fun and engaging. We could do it again!
Fabulous food tour! We enjoyed a great variety of delicious street foods and learned about the historic district of Lima. Highly recommend!
Fantastic tour, more than a food tour, I learned a lot.
The quality and quantity of the food were nowhere near worth the price. The guide was very impersonal, and the whole experience felt more focused on maximizing profits than providing a good experience for guests. Paula, in particular, seemed to be in a constant rush, which made the experience feel even less personal.
Dulce was an amazing guide, taking me to great local food spots that you might not come across by yourself and to eat like a true Peruvian does! I was so full by the end that I didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day! She also shared interesting information about a range of local historic and cultural sites that we passed on the tour, answering my many, many questions! I really liked going to the market where Dulce provided insight into local life by talking me through the different products and groceries Peruvians buy and use. Thank you so much for a brilliant day!

Paola guided us with great energy, enthusiasm and fun. This is the best way to learn and experience about al the different flavours and there history. With your beautiful smile Paola you made me love Lima Peru 💙.
Amazing experience with Valeria!!
Valeria was a nice and knowledgeable guide
Valeria was a very good tour guide and made the experience very enjoyable
Great tour!! Loved it, Valeria was wonderful :)
Valeria our guide was fantastic! We tried 15 different foods and drinks along the way, and saw so much of the historic district of Lima as we went. My personal favorite was corazones de rez, or beef hearts which is something I never would have tried outside of this food tour but was so so good!! Absolutely the best way to see the city, and experience the culture! Highly recommend.
Great tour with food and also history. No need to do the city tour if you do this tour, so two in one
Valeria was an amazing guide through downtown Lima! The food options were outstanding! It was a great immersion into the culture!
Our guide, Sheyla was fantastic, really engaging throughout the whole tour. Unfortunately we found the food to be very average. We are not sure if we just got a bad night. For example, the starter which was essentially potato with chicken, but I didn't have any chicken, the seafood course felt like it wasn't very fresh and we left the majority of it. The only course we really enjoyed was one of the desserts. It was a real shame, as we have done other food tours in Peru (and other countries) and really enjoyed them.
Aura was our guide during the trip and she made it very enjoyable and shared lots of local knowledge with the group and answered any other questions we had. The tour was across several stops and a mixture of savoury and sweet things to try as well as a cocktail. I would highly recommend this for anything looking for a more personal tour around Lima!
Amazing tour start to finish, Aura made it such an enjoyable and informative day. Lots of history, lots of food! Definitely recommend, especially if you have limited time in Lima and want to experience as much as possible
