Peruvian cuisine is now one of my favorites! - What a great way to try so many different foods and flavors of Peru! Ceci was such a great guide and took the time to explain the dishes and some of the history of the area as we walked from one stop to the next.

Great Food Tour - I had a great time on this food tour. Mabel our guide was great! She showed us around to some great restaurants where we watched the chefs cook our meals and then tried Lomo Soltado, and Ceviche amongst other dishes. 2 of my favorites were the coffee shop and gelato shop. I would recommend this to anyone. Just make sure you come hungry because you will leave full.

Gastronomical delight! - Marcos, our tour guide, made the experience memorable. He covered history and agri-business, key proteins, fruits and vegetables essential to Peruvian cuisine. Then on to the selections and restaurants where food was prepared...wonderful spots. So satisfying intellectually and gastronomically. Thanks Marcos!!!!

Highly recommend Barranco food tour with Cece - Highly recommend the Barranco food tour with Exquisito. We had CeCe as our guide and she was just such an amazing tour guide. Her passion for her country's culture, food and history is really something special and comes through in her fantastic articulation of the food. As a solo traveller, we were in a small group of 3 for the afternoon tour. It was a good mix of learning the flavours of peruvian cooking and where the ingredients come from. Like a 3 course meal but at different places. Absolutely great! Highly recommend and hope this feedback gets back to Cece because she made this tour for me!

Amazing food tour! - Marcos was an amazing tour guide ! I was a bit concerned the tour might of gotten cancelled due to me being the only one who signed up for it but it didn’t ! It ended up being just Marcos and I ! Marcos is super knowledgeable of the Peruvian gastronomy . We went to different places and he explained what I was consuming and the history and background of each food and beverage . It was a lovely tour and you really do get to taste key staples of the Peruvian cuisine (you also get to see some street art in the mist of it !) Highly recommend this tour !
