This tour was amazing. I seriously enjoyed it. Not only was the food absolutely delicious (we basically demolished every single plate we tried), but our guide, Yoced, was incredible. I did two tours with him and both times he kept things engaging by making jokes and being super personable, while also being very thorough about the history and importance of the areas we visited and the foods we tried. I would one thousand percent recommend this. 10/10Odyssey36496924851

My friends and I booked this tour very last minute - we only had one day in Lima and wanted to ensure we maximized our time. We made the right choice! The tour offered everything we wanted. Since our group was so large, they split us into two for a more personal experience. Joseph and Gabriel were incredible guides offering the history behind all the tastings as well. Our highlights included the ceviche combinado, Peruvian Chinese food and Gabriel answering our million questions about the city and food culture. We also learned THE most important word in Quechua - llapa, por favor (refill or a little extra, please).Marnie v

I’m such a big foodie & this tour couldn’t have been any more perfect. Our entire group got along & we all ate our way through Lima. There was SO much food (my favorite being in China town). Thanks to our tour guide, he made our adventure through the city confortable & easy going. Also shoutout to Alex who did everything he could to make sure we had a good time. We all got along so we ended up doing the city tour right after, got dinner & drinks, & spent the night as a group enjoying Lima’s nightlife. So thank you Lima Experience!💖E7879VAmt

I singed you for this trip the morning after I arrived in Lima. It was so much fun! You could try the taste of Street food that you wouldn’t be able to taste unless you are a local! Not only tasting different types of food, you will learn the history and the way of life in Lima. The most interesting part was the guide let us taste the different types of typical Peruvian fruits that we wouldn’t be able to do if you are here just as a tourist! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone!!!
