Based on reviews and friend’s recommendation (for morning tour) I have booked evening experience. First 2 restaurants were really nice (both food and atmosphere), but 3rd restaurant and desert place were not on that level. Overall experience didn’t meet my expectation and knowing what I know today I wouldn’t book it.
We truly had an amazing experience. This was, by far, one of our favorite food tours in Peru. What made it especially memorable was our guide, Arthur Paz. His passion for Peruvian culture, history, and cuisine was genuinely contagious. He was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, approachable, and wonderful with our family, taking the time to answer every question and share the stories behind the food in such an engaging way. It was clear how much he truly enjoys what he does and how proud he is to share the richness of Peru with others. A special thank-you as well to Arthur and our driver for going above and beyond when my son left his sweater behind. They immediately let us know and helped make sure we got it back. That thoughtful gesture perfectly reflects the level of care they put into creating a memorable experience. We are very grateful for such a wonderful tour and highly recommend it.
Thanks very much for your kind words about Arthur and his passion for his job. We are really happy to hear this was one of the highlights of your family trip to Peru :)
Highly recommend. We got into Lima at noon and decided to take this evening food tour on our first night. Great way to get to know Peru cuisine and get a feeling for Lima neighborhoods. Sue was wonderful and the group of people we were with were engaging and fun.
Our guide Carlos was amazing. Pick up and drop off was smooth Restaurants we visited had great choice of food selection
Thanks for your excellent review and hope the rest of your trip to Peru was memorable as well!!
The Lima Gourmet Food Tour with Arthur was absolutely amazing! The food was beyond delicious, and Arthur was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire evening. The small group made it easy to get around and made the experience feel personal. The bus was clean, comfortable, and very well air-conditioned. Each food stop was unique and memorable. Our first stop was a beautiful ceviche at a seaside restaurant overlooking surfers at sunset—so picturesque! The second stop was near historic ruins and featured some of the best dishes of the night. The third stop included a unique cocktail and some of the best croquettes I’ve ever had. We finished at a charming chocolatier, which was the perfect sweet ending to the evening. Afterward, we walked around Barranco, which was a great way to burn off a few calories while learning about the history of the neighborhood and taking in all the beautiful murals. If you’re visiting Lima, go on this tour! The food, the experience, and Arthur’s hospitality made it absolutely worth the price. Highly recommend!
Simply amazing from start to finish!! Wonderful spots and incredible food. The best part was our guide Suwa. She guided our family of adults and teens through a gourmet journey that has created so many memories. Thank you!!
Super happy to hear we were able to make your trip to Lima so memorable!! :)
An unforgettable culinary experience! The Lima Gourmet Food Tour – Evening Experience was one of the highlights of my visit to Lima. Patricia was an exceptional guide—warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Peru’s incredible food culture. From learning the story behind Peru’s iconic ceviche and pisco sour to discovering creative Amazonian-inspired flavors, every stop offered something unique. I left with a much deeper appreciation for the country’s cuisine and culture. If you’re visiting Lima, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
We were guided by Patricia Vasquez, a very dedicated and enthusiastic lady who accompanied us through the city with great knowledge and more than just culinary expertise. She gave fascinating explanations about many dishes and ingredients and, together with the staff in each restaurant, ensured that we enjoyed a very relaxing evening.
Today, I discovered that gastronomy is not measured by the number of dishes served, but by the emotions each one evokes. It began with Peru's most iconic expression of the sea—a classic ceviche, where pristine fish surrendered to the bright acidity of leche de tigre, softened by sweet potato and giant corn. Every bite was a conversation between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, reminding me that simplicity, when perfected, is extraordinary
This was a great survey of Peruvian food on my first night in Lima. Arturo was very knowledgeable and friendly, and he made the experience even more enjoyable. The variety of food at each stop was great, and I left the evening feeling satiated. I surprised myself by actually liking anticuchos!
