Great food, great guide, great city - Alonso's food city tour was amazing, filled with great specialties and anecdotes! He was able to accommodate to what we had already tasted to allow us to discover even more Peruvian dishes.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Arequipa!

Fantastic! - My partner and I had a wonderful time with Alonso on this food tour. We visited several lovely restaurants trying some local delicacies and learning about the history of Peruvian cuisine. The food was sensational and we even had a trip to the local market to try some fruits and learn about the ingredients - everyone was very friendly. Alonso was super knowledgeable and fun to be around - we learned about the food, some local sites, and some local history as well at eating some wonderful and new food. Would definitely recommend this tour - a lovely way to spend and afternoon in Arequipa!

No Call, No Show - Tour was a no-call no-show. Nobody came and I wasn't made aware why. Tried contacting the tour operator but to no avail. Really disappointing

IT’S A SCAM!!! - We booked our tour for today (21sept). We arrived 10 min earlier, waited for 30 minutes and nobody arrived. We tried to call all the Numbers, but the just Don’t exist and the number on their Instagram húng up on me. I hope we get our money back. We looked the reviews here, and the were good, until this month.

No Show - We were at the meeting point in time. No one showed up. We only found out that the event got canceled by the provider after we contacted them....very poor management

Unreliable - Our tour was cancelled due to a “personal inconvenience” of the guide that morning. Tough to know if a personal inconvenience was a family emergency (which is completely understandable) or if he just woke up and didn’t feel like it. However, the frustrating part is that we were not informed that the tour wasn’t happening. We waited a half hour and had to figure out how to contact the host. We should have been told in advance so we could have planned our day accordingly as the decision was apparently made that morning.

Scam - avoid avoid!Dont believe the reviews. - We turned up at the designated place 10 minutes early and waited until 20 minutes after the tour was due to start. We had seen the warnings of other reviews but stupidly also saw the many positive one and thought it would be fine. The booking went fine and we got clear confirmation emails so I thought it would be ok. It wasn’t - no one came.
We tried to contact the company on the number provided - it says to contact via WhatsApp and provides a number. When we tried to do this it said the number given was not on WhatsApp.
We tried to phone the number and it was not recognised. I emailed via the email address that had sent us the confirmation . No reply.
We had no means of contacting them or getting our money back €138
We spoke the Peru tourist board - they had never heard of the tour. They tried to contact him by phone and were also unsuccessful. We filled in a form to inform other tourists that this is a scam so it can be logged with the Peruvian tourist board.
We luckily paid by PayPal who have logged the complaint and refunded us our money. We have not heard a single message or anything from the company. I guess all the good reviews and photos are fake too. I hope this helps others avoid what we have experienced.

Food trip without food or guide - We were met in the square by Alonso who spoke to us then asked us to follow, he raced off at least 10m infront pausing occasionally for us to catch up. One of the party needed the toilet and he was most upset but reluctantly led us to one. We had been walking 25mins and indicated we were hungry and wanted to eat. He said he couldn't work like this and had to follow his script which entailed a further 30min in the market without eating. He then cancelled the tour saying he couldn't work like this (as we wanted to eat) and promised a full refund which was not honoured, 30 minutes walk no food $300 what a con. Do not book this trip.

Terrible - no communication, just cancelled the tour with no warning once we had turned up for the start of the tour. - We were really looking forward to this tour, but we turned up at the address at the time specified but no one was there. When I messaged to ask what was happening, I did not receive a reply, just an email to say that I would receive a refund for the cancelled tour. I have never had that happen to me before and it was very annoying/disappointing that I didn't receive any communication from the company and no apology for the inconvenience. Terrible customer service.
