My friend and I went on this tour with Paola, our guide. She was absolutely wonderful and very passionate about her country. She was so knowledgeable and kind throughout the tour, sharing information not only regarding the Peruvian food, but also art and history! It was great value for money and overall we had a great time!!

Marcos was an amazing guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and informative experience!
What a wonderful experience. So many different and delicious foods. Paola was amazing! She taught us a lot about the area and history. So glad we took this tour.
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.
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.
Marcos was great fun! Very informative about Peru history and the foods and products grown here. We learned a lot and had wonderful food and drink. We enjoyed it so very much!
Marcos was awesome! Definitely recommend, love the variety of everything
Marcos was the best! Great food & a fun time!

Amazing day. The food was delicious, guide was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. Best day in Lima
