Lima and Peru is famous for its food so this tour felt extra special to experience the cuisine in a local and authentic way. Our guide Diego led us through lovely neighborhoods and stalls that I would not have known to visit as a tourist. It was more meaningful to enjoy the delicious ceviche or quail eggs or local fruits I’ve never seen before, all while learning about the people behind the counters that served us food. Needless to say, there was so much to eat and each bite was delicious. Lima’s food lived up to the hype and this tour was an excellent way to enjoy it!

a FANTASTIC introduction to the local food culture of Lima
It was a fantastic time eating our way around Lima, and especially seeing and experiencing the local eateries. In most of the locations, we were the only tourists and it was such a treat to immerse ourselves into the day to day lives of locals.
We got to try such a huge variety of dishes: from snacks, to homey meals, to savory bites and sweet treats. Especially loved eating from the street stalls and meeting the stall owners.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're looking for a food experience off the typical tourist path and especially if you have an appetite for trying a variety of foods!

Great experience
We were very excited about this experience from the moment we booked it and had very high expectations. Honestly, it was exactly as we had imagined, if not better.
My tip for anyone planning to do it is to pace yourself and eat lightly at the beginning so you can fully enjoy all 14 courses, because the ending is truly the cherry on top.
Every dish and every option was thoughtfully designed, and none of them disappointed. The entire experience beautifully preserves the essence, authenticity, and creativity of Peruvian culture and cuisine.
Diego was outstanding. You really couldn't ask for a better host. He explains the origins and history behind each dish, shares up-to-date knowledge, and communicates everything with genuine enthusiasm and passion. It is clear that he truly loves what he does.
Without a doubt, this was an amazing experience that we would gladly repeat. We had a wonderful time, and Diego's company made it even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Best Local Food Tour
This the best food tour I have partake in. The structure , walking around trying LOCAL cuisine, fruits and drinks , gave a real feel of Peruvian/Lima local experience, and not just a tourist experience.
The good food was a lot and tasted good! Belly buss/full. We could not eat it all. Had to get to go boxes.
Last and definitely not least, our tour guide, Diego is the best. Real down to earth, cultural aware, charismatic and attentive. Made the tour so much better. Walking around, chatting, laughing, eating for 4 hours was a breeze .
10/10 would recommend.
