What people are saying about Lima

This was a wondeful, casual way to explore the neighborhood of Miraflores and visit quaint eateries where the locals eat. We got there about 10 minutes early to our meeting spot Terrua Cafe which is a cute cafe that served delicious coffee and cappucino. Miguel, our tour guide, was already there waiting for us! He had so much knowledge that he shared during our walking tour. He would stop at various spots and talk about the native plants and trees. We then visited the local farmers market where he talked about the native fruit and vegetables such as Lucama and even gave some to us to try! We then visited a local restaurant where we tried the famouse Peruvian ceviche and Chilcano (Pisco sour with ginger ale). If you would like to experience a tour that is off the beaten path then I would recommend this tour.

Exceeded my expectations! Great guide, lots of variety and plenty of quantity of food and drinks on the tour paired with great stories of the neighborhood and country. There was even extra commentary on the local murals. Would highly recommend to anyone! There were even people in our group that were less adventurous eaters and they had a great time. Thank you!

The experience has been great. The guide and the chef have been lovely. We learned to make cause and lomo saltado. The experience at the market where we bought the food beforehand has been great as well. I recommend this to anyone who values the human experience and the great taste of food.

Overall great, but it was 1 1/2 hours into tour before 1st food stop, first part was sampling fruit at guide office and too long education session. Plus offering Inca Cola as a unique taste kinda of silly, like taking tour in USA and give a Coke

Great experience, very knowledgeable guide and wonderful places to visit
