An immersive experience into food from all over Peru. Thought provoking insights into food culture and a wide variety of tastes. I enjoyed all of it!
I wish I had not eaten breakfast, huge portions, delicious, unique experience. Johnny was an incredible guide, explaining both the historical cultural and current evolution of the foods in Peru. My favorite was the piranha and fresh salsa, but nothing was bad on the entire tour. I loved watching the preparations, picking out fruits and tasting a different side of Peru. Loved this experience.
Great tour by Any. She’s very passionate about Amazonian culture and foods. You’ll get to try and eat a lot. For the adventurous. And those that like to try bizarre foods.
You must do this experience if you are interested in trying different dishes. Johnny was amazing. I was on a solo trip and it felt like I was walking around with a friend. I left full and satisfied. The food was amazing !
Very fun tour with kind and gracious guide. I appreciated that he went out of his way to explain the foods we were about to try and what should be expected—made it less intimidating. Unique experience—what travel’s all about!
Great experience! Johnny was great, had lots of info on Peru, history and styles of food. We ate at a local restaurant and two market stalls - left very full! Food was great but the local knowledge was just as good! Would recommend if you are interested in traditional Peruvian food and/or keen to try some unique dishes.
Jhonny was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeably about a lot more than just the tour. Touring the market and neighborhood was as interesting as the food. I was very full at the end of the tour—if you take this tour, don’t eat breakfast or lunch!!
Great way to try things you probably would have never found! So good that I plan to go back to the market to try more on our own. Thoroughly enjoyable!
I definitely recommend this experience with Jhonny if you like to try new foods. He is very knowledgeable about his country and its food, and if you're open minded enough to overcome the initial visual shock, the food actually tastes amazing.
