We have gone on many food tours. THIS ONE WAS THE BEST!! Arturo was absolutely amazing!! First of all, it was like our private tour. There was only two of us. It was like we were hanging out with our friend who knew all of the very best places to go in the city. We are staying in Barranco and would have never chosen to come to the city center, but I’m so glad we did! We ate so much food!! Arturo loves his city and loves to share his knowledge. This was the perfect way to spend the day in beautiful Lima! Thanks again for everything Arturo.
Yoced was an incredible tour guide! He took us to spots that we would have simply walked right by, and although you may or may not like everything, you are taken to authentic Lima spots. Highly recommend this tour if you have a few hours to kill in Lima, as it’s been considered the culinary capital of the world.
A wonderful way to get a taste of the city! Arturo was our guide and he was an absolute delight! He was incredibly insightful, passionate, and brought such a warm energy to the tour. You get to try all sort of different dishes native to the country, along with getting some of the historical significance of the dish.
Yoced was the most amazing tour guide!!! He really cared about what he told us and made our experience unforgettable. Great sense of humor as well. Would 100% recommend.
I love food tours - walk, history, chat with fellow travelers, city insights, and food - usually fairly predictable, but good food. This food tour was not predictable as Lima food is kind of an unknown aside from ceviche. I think this tour spanned the gamut of everything one could want - crazy exotic fruits, one of the stranger and yet sublime smoothies ever - with just three ingredients, and there was a LOT of food. Joseph the guide was a super nice guy and mega knowledgable. There was on person on this tour from Colombia who dod not speak English and Joseph transitioned so fast between Spanish and English -- this guy was born to be a guide. One recommendation though - offer water too at some of the stops - the drinks were so good, but water is water. Or bring a bottle (maybe I should have). This tour is an A++
Joesph was really great and showed a great selection of food and really got to learn more about the culture. Great guide!!!
Joseph was a fantastic guide!!! I learned so much and had such a great time. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting the real Peruvian local experience.
Yoced was the absolute best! Hilarious and knowledgeable. He made everyone feel like we were family. Would do again!
The explanation of the places and snacks we had during the tour was well done; it was an excellent experience.
Yoced was a wonderful tour guide. He answered all my questions and even bought a fruit I had asked about when we walked by, for us to try. I’m much more knowledgeable about Peruvian food. Thanks Yoced!
