Best value food tour with wonderful guide - We had a great food tour by Valerie! She was a knowledgeable guide who exuded warmth and friendliness. We were brought to many interesting restaurants eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert in the span of a few hours and were stuffed at the end of the tour. One of the best food tours ever thanks to our guide!

Informative, delicious, fun - Our guide was great and we truly enjoyed walking the streets of the Barroco neighborhood. We loved hearing the history as well as tasting the amazing food. We learned how ceviche and pisco sours are made. It was a lovely day and I highly recommend this. The walking is super easy and the food is amazing. We made 6 stops!

The Best Lima Food Tour - Didn't know what to expect but this tour turned out to be an AWESOME experience. The tour was well thought out starting with an introduction to indigenous fruits and vegetables and concluding with Pisco Sours and Gelato There was more than enough to eat at each stop. The guide (Mateo) was knowledgeable, engaging and a whole lot of fun. The walks between venues were a great sightseeing opportunity. This one is well worth doing, a definite "5"

This food tour is worth the money! - We did the food tour with Yozalin and it was the best 4 hours we’ve spent in Lima so far. The restaurants we ate our various meals in were authentic and the food exceptional. Walking through the Barranco district was lovely and Yozalin had lots of information to pass on as we visited the various places. The pisco sour tasting was in a fantastic old tavern. There was so much food on the tour that we didn’t need to eat again all day!

Good tour but guide could improve - Overall this tour was a pretty good experience and we tried some great food. The tour is divided into meals- breakfast, lunch, dinner, piano, dessert, so you end up having several large plates of food vs. many small bites. Unfortunately, the guide seemed a bit unenthusiastic and distracted, maybe she was having an off day, but it took away from the experience. I expected to learn a lot about the history and influences of Peruvian cuisine, and this really didn’t happen much. I left feeling like I’d eaten plenty but learned little, which was disappointing.
