Sheyla was an amazing guide on our food tour in Lima. I was running a few minutes behind due to traffic and she waited patiently. She explained in great detail what we were eating/drinking and also gave us history of the food and the culture. She was very funny and kept us laughing. Very enjoyable and would highly recommend Sheyla.
Fantastic tour, so informative. Aura was a wonderful guide. A real insight into the culture, history and food of Peru. Highly recommended.
We did a food tour in Lima and it was one of the best things we did in Peru. Our guide was fantastic, full of interesting stories about the city, its history, and the food culture. You could tell she really loved sharing it with us. The food itself was excellent. Fresh, flavorful, and a great mix of classic Peruvian dishes and lesser known local spots we never would have found ourselves.
We had a lot of fun! Very good dishes and a lot of useful information.
A really good trip!!! Loved all the food Aura did an awesome job
We had a great experience touring Lima with our tour guide, Paola, and made some new friends as well. A great tour for people interested in exploring the food, history, architecture, and culture that define Lima and Peru in general. Value for the price was great, and I’d recommend arriving to the tour hungry, you will have plenty to eat! Paola was very friendly and welcoming, and you can tell she cares about the work she does. 10/10 would recommend!
Really great tour by guide Paola. Didn’t realize the tour would include so much interesting history and other information beyond the food. Highly recommend.
Paola was very knowledgeable and I’ve learned a lot about the history. The food was great!
Paola was a fantastic tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about every building in every area we visited and answered every question with proficiency! Fantastic guide for English and Spanish speakers!!
Paola was an amazing guide and I think the experience was very worth it. If you want a crash course on Peruvian cuisine and a little bit on the history, I would highly recommend this tour. I did this with my wife and both of us were very happy.
