A great way to see some of Lima & have dinner with a group of travelers. - Really enjoyed the experience. We visited 4 different restaurants, The first 2 were in great locations and the food was excellent. The last 2 were not so good. But overall a great tour for a solo traveller with hotel pickup and drop off.
Our guide Patricia was lovely

Great experience! - The culinary tour was fantastic! Our guide, Patricia, was wonderful and did a great job explaining the various stops and meals. More importantly, she ensured gluten free options and accommodations due to a celiac in our family.
We all loved the fact that we hopped from restaurant to restaurant so that we can experience more of Lima.

Great food experience! - The gourmet food tour was all it was cracked up to be! Kimberly was an excellent guide who explained all about the food delicacies we were eating and also some Peruvian history along the way. We ate at four different restaurants. All had excellent food and drink and each had it’s own special ambiance. Barranco is alive with energy and would have liked a bit more time to explore the area. I highly recommend this tour while in Lima.

Memorable for the food and the locations! - Led by the joyous Amy Makiya we completed an amazing tour of Lima's restaurants and traditional foods. We were treated to Tiradito, Ceviche Classic and Pisco Sours at the beautiful Coastal location of Cala. Next Papas Rellenas, Chicharron de Pollo, Lomo Saltado Anticuchos at the ruins of Huaca Pucllana. My favorite was the unique Xoma Restaurant for Tempura de Calamar Gigante, Cause Limena, Chancho co Pure de Olluco y Chips de Papas Nativas, Held de Acetic de Olive, Alfajor de Lemon and finally dessert at La Bodega Verde with the delicious ending of Pyramid de Lucia, and Chirilatte de Chirimoya. A great group of people, a wonderful guide and a night to remember!
