The food was excellent, but learning the history and proper way to prepare and eat the food was even better. Love learning about the different locations. The cultural walk at the end was a bonus.
We had the best time with our tour guide Arthur and Lima Gourmet. Our three-generational family group took the evening tour, and we loved every sip, bite and restaurant. Arthur was knowledgeable, warm, and he showed us three beautiful restaurants. We were only in Lima for a short time, so this was the perfect way to sample ceviche, traditional appetizers, steak and desserts.
First of all, we absolutely loved our tour guide Amy. I highly recommend her. She made the event so positive and fun. What a greatgirl and extremely knowledgeable. The restaurant selections were fantastic everywhere you show up the food is basically ready for you when you get there or you wait five minutes so you really get a fantastic curated experience in every restaurant. The restaurants they take you to are very well chosen with a seat next to the ocean sitting ata table next to the ruins and then a quaint café. It was well worth the money. At the end, they top it off with a brief little walk and a discussion of some of the local history.
Outstanding food in wonderful locations. Our guide Kimberly picked us up at our hotel and we just had to sit back, relax and enjoy the delicious food and company of fellow travelers. It was a truly gourmet experience. The flavors and presentation of the food and drinks were amazing. There’s a lot of food so go hungry.
Book without hesitation it is really enjoyable, good food and beautiful restaurants. My guide Sue was so knowledgable and personable that she made it a truly memorable experience. I am not a big meat eater or drinker of spirits so she arranged alternatives for which I’m very grateful. The seaweed cones at the archeological site restaurant were my favourite but the coffee ice cream as a alternative at the chocolate venue was also lovely.
This was a great way to start out our vacation in Lima. We read a lot about Peruvian cuisine and this was the way to get the best experience. Arthur was positive, enthusiastic, and made sure the group connected well. There were five guests (all different ages), we got along great(we traded contact info at the end!), and it was delicious food. . Food was a gracious plenty, and featured all the specialties including ceviche, beef hearts, corn (it's so good in Peru!0, etc. We also had Peruvian cocktails and wine, which were tasty. it was easy going, fun, and the restaurants were all excellent. We went to a highly rated restaurant tonight, and honestly, I was disappointed after our fare last night.
Had an amazing night on our food tour in Lima. Our guide was fantastic taking us to some very good local restaurants with amazing views and delicious food as well as local drinks at each of our stops. Our guide was extremely thorough and knowledgeable about the food and the city and answering any questions we had, was great getting to explore the city this way. Would highly recommend to anyone in Lima to book this tour!
The food is amazing as are the locations. It was a bit rushed we felt, and we thought we were seeing a bit more if barranco in the evening, but overall an amazing night. And a big thank you and well done for being so accommodating when our flight was late!
This culinary tour was one of the highlights of our time in Lima. Each restaurant had a different vibe so we experienced a cross section and the food in each was both delicious and beautifully presented. Portions were quite generous, but we werent uncomfortably full at the end. Our guide, Amy, had wonderful energy and was extremely well informed, and also just fun. She definitely contributed to our enjoyment of the evening. We highly recommend this tour.
Our guide Sue was absolutely first rate! Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable. She took us to amazing places with stunning views, excellent cuisine and she did a wonderful job of explaining everything. We learned so much about the cuisine, but also about Peruvian culture and day-to-day life. She was also very attentive and accommodating about eating restrictions. This was by far the best food tour we’ve ever been on. We highly recommend it!
