Valeria is very friendly and knowledgeable about Lima and its history. A great tourguide who speaks fluently English. Tour was nice, many foodstops and some drinks as well. A enjoyable tour which we can recommend.

Marcos was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The variety of food provided a broad spectrum of Peruvian street food cuisine. The historical central city area covered by the tour was highly interesting.

Great experience. Marcos was a fantastic tour guide. I learned a lot about the history of Lima and Peru, and also about the food we were trying, and my goodness, it was good stuff. Highly recommended!

Shelya is an amazing guide. She expertly navigated us around the busy streets and shared with us so many local flavors. This was a great introduction for us to Peruvian food.

I hadn’t explored a lot of Peruvian food during my trip and this was the perfect way to wrap up my trip! I took a lot of different tours during my trip and this might have been my favorite. It provided insight to culture and history in addition to the food. I did the tour solo and my guide even waited with me until my uber arrived!

Manuel provided an excellent food tour experience for my 23yo son and I - we had a wonderful time and honestly learned so much about Peruvian history, food and culture along the way. Manuel was kind, incredibly respectful and has a great sense of humour. Thank you so much!! Elisabeth & Samuel ☺️🇦🇺

Manuel was amazing; great food and great tour. The cow’s heart was my favourite dish and the potato and hot peppers a close second
