Local food experience in Lima. - Loved this tour! We went to places we would never have found on our own and tasted authentic Peruvian food from vendors we would have passed right by. We felt well taken care of!

Knowledgeable in not just food, but in history too! - Choji led a relaxed tour, and was super accommodating to our requests. He was more than welcome to share his own unique experience, which made the tour even more interesting and special. We often found ourselves on the edge of our proverbial seats, waiting for his next words about the food, Peru’s colorful history, or his own life.

Loved this tour! - Yvonne was fantastic and the tour was as well - we saw a great variety of areas in Lima and tried many different foods. The tour was full of history and culture in addition to the delicious foods.

History, Food, and Architecture in Lima - Ivonne was wonderful. She gave us a lot of history and answered our many questions without hesitation. She was also very patient. We had our 8 month old granddaughter with us- who loved most of the food- and Ivonne was willing to keep the pace a bit slower for us with the stroller.

Outstanding Tour, Outstanding food, Outstanding Guide - Absolutely outstanding! Food can be a great lens for culture and history, and the guide was fantastic at bringing everything together. We have taken food tours all over the world, and this was the most interesting. And tastiest!

Fabulous experience - Lorena was an excellent guide for our 10 tastings of Lima tour. The food tastings were all wonderful with the native Peruvian fruits and the ceviche favorites. Lorena was so knowledgeable about the food we sampled, the local history and area, and all things Lima.

Not a private tour! - We booked (and paid significantly more) for a private tasting tour. We met our guide at the meeting point and were told that there would be 5 other people joining us on tour. I sent a message to the tour company asking why we were not informed that our tour was no longer private. Still have not received a response from the company With Locals about why we were not informed of the change and have not been refunded for the difference in price from a private tour to a group tour. We felt completely duped and without options. It’s deeply unfortunate because our guide choji was excellent and the tour was deeply authentic. Unfortunately the companys lack of communication and their decision to not inform us (or refund the price difference) of our tour change leaves me unable to recommend this company for a private Lima food tour.
