The entire experience was wonderful. Cesar was a perfect host, Raul added great context, and Karina led us in a great cooking class. It was interactive but not tedious, fun, and extremely delicious.

Excellent time with Cesar, Raul, and Carina!! Appreciated the brief market tour and longer focus on cooking and trying foods. Very hands on and fun!

This is a “don’t miss” experience while in Lima!! Everything was so well-organized and such fun—engaging, unique and totally exceeded my expectations in every way!!.
JJ was a wonderful guide and the entire experience was fun and informative. The food was excellent too! It was some of the best that we had while in Peru.
This was a fantastic experience. Five star. From Visiting,the market, which we would probably never have gone to on our own, to the cooking class, which was well orchestrated and lots of fun, it was a great day. Our Guide Kevin explained all of the things at the market and we learned a great deal. The cooking class was led by chef Karina (with translations by Kevin) was perfectly organized and we learned a lot and had fun. We got to taste so many fruits that we had never heard of, and then cooked quite a number of potatoes, which were fun to taste. We made ceviche, in a traditional Peruvian style, and then a stirfry, influenced by the Chinese in Peru. Had fun with the other people in our group and it was a great day. So glad we booked this. Highly recommend.
This was such an amazing start to our honeymoon in Peru! Cesar was a great guide, warm and accommodating. Fabricio was our chef and the food we cooked under his direction was delicious! A 100% recommend!
The nicest welcome to peru. This was the most amazing local cooking experience in all my travels. The tour guide, Cesar, was absolutely fantastic, outgoing, impeccable English and also helped us with much needed suggestions for the rest of our trip in Peru. The chef, Fabricio, is an absolute gem, young talented and a master in the kitchen. The food we cooked for ourselfs under his instruction were the highlight of our day.juts marvelous highly recommended
