Very good food tour of Lima. We made a ton of stops and tried items we wouldn't normally have tried. We went to a market and tried different fruits that I had never heard of. We got a little history of Lima and Peru as well. The only thing I would change is we got the "entrees" at the beginning of the tour which filled you up. The smaller items came later. I would have preferred changing that. Also - if you are staying in Miraflores give yourself plenty of time (45 minutes to an hour) to get in the historical center.

Natalie was a great tour guide, and we experienced a lot of delicious foods, and a few new things! We also were able to learn a lot about the foods and the places around this area of Lima, and gain a new perspective. We had a great time!

Fantastic food and cultural experience in a less touristic area of Lima, our guide Yozelin was a star!

We really enjoyed the history provided by our guide. The food was just okay (especially as compared to our Cusco food tour). We stopped at two Chinese food spots (why?). Fruit at the market was fantastic however... There should have been a bit more of a focus and explanation of why we're were going to each food spot.

This was a good tour of the city. I expected small bites of food and drink but most offerings were more than that! We were all quite full! A good selection of local foods and the tour offered walking through areas of Lima we would not have seen. Enjoyable!

What a great way to see the city and experience many varieties of food and Lima culture. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The walk was delightful with several opportunities to sit and eat along the way. Make sure you come hungry as the food portions are not sample size!

I can’t give enough accolades to Cecilia (Ceci) for the amazing experience I had with her during the visit to not only beautiful sites in the historical center of Lima but fun places to eat traditional Peruvian foods. Ceci was highly engaging and fun to spend the evening learning about the cuisine of her city. This turned out to be one of the highlights of my 2 1/2 week vacation in Peru!! Muchisimo gracias!!

Our evening street food tour was fabulous! Our host Marco guided us through the streets of downtown to multiple stops, all the while sharing information on Peruvian cuisine, culture, history, and architecture and providing relatable descriptions in an enthusiastic manner. Tamales, churros, dim sum, exotic fruits, pisco sours, piccarones, antichuchos, and more! We ate and drank well and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We had an absolute fabulous time seeing different areas in Lima, especially Chinatown. Marco was great - very informative not just about the food, but the neighborhoods we were in as well as general history about Lima and Peru. Highly recommend.
