Best - I did the food tour with Bruce... wow! Very interesting. He's respectful and makes you think. A really good tour. He showed me some great insider tips and things you wouldn't find as a tourist. I'm a chef and I've done my homework, but he showed me the best cervix. I can only recommend it if you're interested in food. Greetings from Sardinia!

Excellent tour and friendly guide - Bruce was an excellent guide. The tour was a must-do experience. We tasted a lot of Peruvian specialties as well as fruits and desserts. This was rounded off with a traditional pisco sour. So come hungry! Bruce had a lively charisma and provided us with all sorts of background information about the dishes and some Peruvian history. All in all: 10/10 and highly recommended!

The highlight of our trip to Lima - This tour was the highlight of our time in Lima (a week later we’re still talking about it at home). We spent over three hours walking the streets of Lima, trying delicious food and learning about Perú’s history and culture. We tried around ten different dishes, representing different parts of the country, as well as different cultures and origins. Bruce, our tour guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable. We knows every corner of Lima, as well as every person we had food in with. It was a unique opportunity to ask lots of questions and have fun in the process. And we did all this with a four month old baby!! Bruce knows exactly where he’s taking you, so we felt safe going with him to the non-touristy parts of Lima center. The price is so worth it. We tried over ten dishes. We even went to a market to try fresh vegetables and fruits. We were so full at the end that we skipped dinner. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. If you do one paid tour in Lima, choose the one!

Really good food - It was really a fun tour, delicious food, unusual food, really weird food. Bruce is a great guide, we had a great afternoon with him. He speaks German pretty well in addition to English.

Exiting food tour - Had an exiting foodtour with Bruce. Interesting stories with lots of information on the history, customs and the food. A large part was out of the touristic center, showed us places where we as tourists usualy don’t come and eat as places we normally will not find! Loved it!
