She was so knowledgeable and kind throughout the tour, sharing information not only regarding the Peruvian food, but also art and history!

Best food tour we’ve ever been on in the world (including Morocco, Argentina, Portugal, and Vietnam)

Paola was an amazing foodie guide. All five restaurants she took us to were outstanding. The ceviche was my favorite but all were outstanding. She is warm, accommodating and bright. She was previously a history guide, so she was able to blend in this background as well. Caution: go on an empty stomach! You will eat a ton.

Amazing food and cultural tour

Paola is extremely knowledgeable about food, history and art. The food was incredible and plentiful. Do not eat anything before the tour! I appreciate all the places making vegetarian versions of everything. The corn, potatoes, vegetarian ceviche and everything was really outstanding. Luma is the food capital and this tour should not be missed.
