Well worth it, fantastic food. - Easily more than a full meal spread out over 6 stops. Everything we tried was delicious. We got to walk quite a bit and see the city, our guide, David, was fantastic.

Excellent tour, great food, knowledgeable guide - This food tour was excellent - I highly recommend if you have a few days in Lima and are not sure what or where to eat. Cesi was a very personable and knowledgeable guide who answered all of our questions and guided us around the city. We got to try food we would never normally choose ourselves and visited a vast array of restaurants. A great amount of food (and drink) offered the tour- we were very happy!

Great experience - We had a lovely time exploring Barranco and eating way too much food on the way, thanks to David. Really appreciate the knowledge and passion he has for what he does. We couldn't fit any more food even if we wanted to by the end of it. Really enjoyed seeing the different aspects of Peruvian cuisine and learning about agriculture. Highly recommended for a taste of Lima within your first day or two of arriving.

Excellent Cultural Experience - We had an excellent tour with John and could not say enough good things about this experience. We went to several restaurants in the Barranco district and even got to go in the kitchen of one with hairnets on to watch the food preparation. We watched ceviche being prepared at another restaurant and wrapped up the trip with a lesson on how to make pisco sour along with a sample. Highly recommend this tour.

Great food tour with vegetarian and pescatarian options - Really well organised food tour! We did this on our last day in Lima and it was a great way to see the Barranco district of the city (highly recommend spending some time there!). Marcos was a great guide and balanced well making the tour informative as well as enjoyable. The tour was really well structured and paced, with lots of really tasty Peruvian dishes to try as well as lovely walks through Barranco and a quick art gallery visit. We chose this tour because it can be adapted for pescatarians and vegetarians, and we were really happy with the food provided, and didn’t feel like we were missing out at all vs the meat eaters in the group. The veggie empanada and vegetable version of lomo saltado they made for us were delicious!
