Pick-up at yout hotel!!! This is an authentic experience where we will learn about the food and traditions of Peru by visiting local markets and non-touristy areas along with our expert guide and transport. We'll head to Surquillo Market 1, where we'll enjoy a tasting of native and exotic fruits. We'll learn about their origins and the properties of our typical fruits, as well as enjoy their unique flavors. Next, we'll take the Metropolitan bus to downtown Lima, where we'll visit the central market and Chinatown. We'll try typical Chinese-Peruvian snacks and street food, such as Picarones (doughnuts made with potato and fig jam) and the famous anticuchos (skewered beef heart). To finish, we go to Alameda Chabuca, near the Plaza Mayor of Lima, where we will try the famous street dessert called Arroz con Leche and Mazamorra Morada.

Most memorable first day in Lima!

We booked the Exploring Markets and Street Food in Lima, expecting to be in a small group up to 15 passengers. We were pleasantly surprised when Juan arrived to pick us up at our hotel and informed us we were having a private tour today. Juan is extremely knowledgeable, with very fluent English and Spanish language skills. He showed us parts of Lima often overlooked by visitors who focus more on typical tourist attractions. We visited a street market which carried anything your heart could imagine. We sampled so many unique and interesting fruits. Then we visited a wholesale meat and produce market to see how the food makes it to our tables. From there we went to China town for some local specialities, and a few street food offerings. We had the most amazing afternoon with Juan, and he made our first day the most memorable launch of our two week vacation in Peru. I highly recommend booking your Lima excursions with this company.

Experience of a lifetime.

The tour was interesting, eye-opening, informative. A tour that everyone should take when visiting Lima to fully understand the people of Lima and the challenges many of them face. While foodie tours and market tours were also enjoyed by us, this one was the most memorable and impactful. Alfredo was the perfect tour guide and advocate.

Great tour of the market with Lucas!

My grown son and I visited the local fruit and veggie market, as we were curious about Peruvian food. There were so many unique fruits that we had never seen in the US. Unfortunately we had no way to communicate with the vendors to ask questions. We immediately returned to the hotel and booked the market tour with Peruvian Worldview for ourselves, and husband and grown daughter. We met Lucas that afternoon for our tour. He is passionate about his Peruvian produce and he explained to us about Peruvian farming, as he had spent time on his family's farm as a child. Lucas' English was very good as he explained to us the interesting fruits we had seen earlier in the day and we were able to taste most of them. It was a fun, informative tour.
