Food city tour arequipa - Thank you so much for this amazing experience! We tasted flavours that we never tasted before. We also saw a large part of the city during the food tour! The explanations were very interesting and complete. We already did a lot of city tours, but this one really excels!! 😊

One of the best tour ever - This was one of the best tour we ever took. We got to visit places that we would have never found on our own, and get a very unique perspective into typical Andean dishes and drinks. Of course, everything was very tasty. Our guide was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It was worth it… I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Arequipa…. Good mix of food and sightseeing
