Highly Recommended
This food tour through the center of Lima was the perfect introduction to our trip to Peru! Our guide, Jean Carlo, was absolutely fantastic—he led us completely safely through the historic old town, sharing his warm personality and extensive knowledge. The culinary highlights were incredibly delicious and authentic, and my personal favorite was the amazing Causa Rellena. If you want to experience Lima safely and taste the very best of it, you should definitely book with Jean Carlo. Unreservedly recommended!

Fun Food Tour
We really enjoyed the food tour. We tried many things that were recommended to try. We had an DIY food list, and this hit many of them. Our guide, Yoced was very knowledgeable and friendly, he provided stories about the places we walked to and highlights about the food.

Great Food and City Tour of Lima
Did the Food and City tour with Yoced and had the best time! He was so knowledgeable about all the food we tried and the interesting background and stories behind it all. We had a small group for the food tour portion and then I was one on one with Yoced for the city tour portion and I had such a good time! He answered all my questions about the history and culture of Lima and pointed out things along the way I would have never noticed on my own or with a larger tour group. Highly recommend this tour!
