Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the experience and Valeria’s explanations of Peruvian food and culture. Thank you for recommending us!
We had an amazing experience with Paola Hermida with Exquisito Peru. She provided us information about the city as we walked from place to place as well as taking is to spots where the chef or bartender did a cooking or drink before serving us. All of the food was top noche and she catered to my dairy allergy and my son's nut allergy so that we were both able to fully enjoy the tour. Definitely a great way to start our trip in Peru. And the portion sizes were reasonable so you will not want to eat before.
