Must do! - This was a wonderful experience that I recommend doing at the beginning of your Peru trip (learn the classic foods and drinks), although we did it at the end and still loved it! Amy was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour so much more fun! The food was amazing, especially the deserts!

Ceviche, Pisco Sours, and more! - Patricia is an excellent host with tons of knowledge. The food at each location was amazing and the drinks were some of the best during my time in Peru. The ambience at each restaurant was great too. If I ever visit Lima again, I am doing the tour again. Patricia also accommodated those who have allergies and or didn’t eat sea food with delicious alternatives.

Amazing culinary tour - This was our first culinary tour we've ever done and it certainly won't be the last. What was really great about this was that it was a very good introduction to Peruvian cuisine, which my partner and I knew nothing about beforehand, and therefore we could have easily missed having cebiche while on holiday there which would have been a real shame! Aside from the super tasty food, we really appreciated the history and culture info, as well as the short downtown walk, because all of these form the background of understanding the local cuisine and appreciating it even more. The restaurants we went to were all exceptionally charming in their own way, set in beautiful locations, and the food itself was absolutely amazing, we enjoyed absolutely everything we were served. Finally, a big BIG thank you to our guide, Patricia, who was so knowledgeable and offered such pleasant company for the evening - it was a real pleasure knowing you Patricia, and thank you for a most amazing evening!

Beyond Amazing Tour 5+ Rating! - I cannot say enough great things about this tour! From our passionate Lima Food Tour Guide, Carlos and the Driver, Juan, both were professional and provided an excellent experience from beginning to end. My husband and I travel frequently and whenever we go to a new location, we always like to book a food tour. It’s a great way to learn about the culture of the city we are in and its rich history and influence of cuisine. This was by far, one of the best tours we have been on, and we are fortunate to say we have been on excellent food tours all around the world. We were most impressed by the thorough and thoughtfulness of each selected location (total of 5 locations), the timing of food, the fact we were never made to feel rushed, every question was answered and the tour guide and driver made sure that we each had a great time and were taken care of. Carlos was extremely passionate about the history of Peruvian food culture and how it’s made a huge impact globally. We were in a smaller group so it allowed us to get to know one another better. From the most delicious (melt in your mouth out of this world) ceviche to the famous lomo saltado to finish with bite size beautifully presented desserts, our bellies were happy and our memories will be lifelong lasting. Thank you Carlos, Juan and the Lima Gourmet Food Tour! You made our introduction to Lima cuisine magical!
