This is an anthropological journey beyond the polished, Netflix-style image of Lima’s street food scene. We offer a different perspective from the fine-dining world of renowned restaurants like Central and Maido. We’ll explore noisy and crowdy streets, markets and hole-in-the-wall spots around Central Market and Chinatown in order to try amazing Peruvian delicacies. Every stop is carefully selected for quality, flavor, context and character by local experts. Each experience may include more than one bite, dish or drink, because some Peruvian combinations simply belong together. 1. Choclo con Queso 2. Papa Rellena 3. Ceviche (Hole-in-the-Wall) 4. Carapulcra + Sopa Seca + Chicha Morada 5. Ceviche (street) 6. Siu Mae + China Town Stories 7. Central Market Experience 8. Picarones (Top Rated dessert) 9. Seasonal Exotic Fruits --- 10. Pisco Sour (optional) --- Just show up hungry and curious! Less rushing. More tasting. More stories.

We had a great day with Bruce on the food tour. His English is excellent, he tells good food related stories and is a character taking us to places we would never have found and eating food we would never have tried. If we hadn't been so tired from jet lag we'd have done more tours. We were pleased to support an LGBTQi business in Peru. We'll
Absolutely amazing!!! We did the street food tour in Lima Centre and had the best time with Bruce. He was so knowledgeable, warm and friendly and so much fun to hang out with. We tried so many different dishes and fruits and drinks and were completely stuffed by the end. Bruce was so generous with his time, staying with us beyond the scope of the tour for a drink, and it was a great way to see a less touristy part of Lima. Would highly recommend!!!!
Look no further than this tour if you're seeking the hyper local street food with the reassurance of food safety and quality. It turns out that ceviche from a hole in the wall beats any fancy restaurant. You'll get to try an eclectic array of Peruvian foods like Chinese, African, Italian as well as piping hot crispy snacks and fresh fruit. You'll get to know about the history, politics and culture of Lima while eating us your way around the the incredibly beautiful and chaotic city centre.
Absolute 5-star experience! We had to make a last-minute booking, and Bruce went completely above and beyond to accommodate us without missing a beat. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms and instantly felt like a part of the family. Bruce is incredibly knowledgeable about his heritage and introduced us to some absolutely phenomenal local food—the ceviche and tacu tacu were easily my absolute favorites! The absolute highlight of our trip was spending the rest of the night hanging out with his beautiful momma at the circus! It was such a special, unforgettable evening. If you want amazing accommodations and host hospitality that feels like home, book with Bruce. We can't wait to come back!
Best street food tour I’ve ever been on! Bruce is a very genuine and friendly guide who showed us the ‘real’ side of Lima. It felt authentic, fun and slightly spontaneous, which lead us to places and food we’d never have discovered on our own. Highly recommended.
Bruce was full of knowledge and very accommodating. You really get a huge bang for your buck on this tour. I can’t even keep track of how many different foods we tried and we covered a lot of cool and popular areas in centro.
Excellent! The most authentic tour I've ever made on the trip. Bruce is clearly dedicated to delivering an anthropological, social and gastronomic experience, showing the real and non-touristic Peru.
Amazing your food and guide. All the food was 10/10 along with great stories and company. I highly recommend
This was the most amazing food tour - Bruce, the tour guide had so many good and funny stories, we felt safe and so full of food we would have otherwise not found. The food was exeptional and super original. We highly recommended Inka Pride Tours.
Had an awesome time with Bruce from Inka Pride Tours as my food tour guide. Bruce met us and took us on the local bus to outside the ultra-touristy area to local joints with delicious, Peruvian food. The food included local street food as well as Amazonian cuisine. Bruce was entertaining, passionate, very informative about the culture and history of Peru, and treated us like friends that he was showing around his neighbourhood - lots of places that you wouldn’t know to find as a gringo. Would recommend 100%
