Highlights
  • Chorrillos - Chorrillos “The Main Local Fish Market of Lima”.
    This is the first place we visit where you will learn about one of the main economies of Peru (fishing). Also, your local guide will show you the different tools and baits used by locals for doing that important activity. You’ll see the Peruvian sea really close and know why Lima is a desert.
  • Mercado nro 1 de Surquillo - Mercado Surquillo N1

This is a very varied and real mercado, where vendors display their freshest produce, and also the closest to Miraflores. Here we will enjoy a delicious typical Cebiche and Peruvian drink, which is the favorite of the local vecinos. This market is the oldest market located in the workers barrio. Then we’ll take a look around the neighborhood in our way to the next stop.

  • Surquillo - Mercado Número Dos

Here you will sample some native Peruvian fruits, Granadilla, cactus fruit, aguaymanto,cucumber melon and more, not only from the coast but from the Andes and jungle as well. Furthermore, you will taste exotic Amazonian food, ¡buenazo! Made by my amazonian amigas ‘Las Charapitas’. Then some of the Criolla peruvian food.
The main intention of this tour is to make you feel like one more local, that is why we will try the exquisite daily meals with the residents of Surquillo.
Of course we will try the drink most consumed by us, “Chicha morada” (purple corn juice).
You will not think about dinner until tomorrow. Light breakfast is recommended.
The way back is made with a local transportation.

Fun Lima Food Market Tour - Really nice, relaxing and tasty food tour through Lima's markets. We visited several markets and enjoyed the experience - tasted fruits we'd never seen - or heard of - before, then off to the best cervicheria in any of the markets - all in all it was fun and tasty and informative and Annie was a superb guide.

Highlight of my time in Lima - Fabulous!. I was the only person who signed up so it was just me and the my guide Jonny. The food we had markets was far better than any of the fancy restaurants I tried prior. The fruit tasting was another highlight. Highly recommend!

All the food was delicious! - Johnny is a fantastic tour guide and I really loved the personal feel of this tour. I learnt so much from him and loved the places we visited - a local fish market, two food markets and the stunning Larco museum. As a non Spanish speaker it gave me deep insight into the history, geography and other aspects of Peruvian culture I wouldn't have had otherwise and for such a good price. Highly recommended!!!

A must in Lima for foodies! - My sister & I just had a wonderful experiences by visiting the 'mercados' in Lima. Our guide and driver were very kind. First we learned about the fishermen activities in Peru, then it was time to munch! Food was sublime and we had complete information about its history. We highly recommend this tour and the guide Lucas.

Up close tour of the best markets in Lima - The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. You don't feel separated from the places, but completely immersed. The food is fantastic and varied, so you really should come hungry. There's almost no waiting at any point, and just a few minutes of walking. The fish and local fruits are fresh and delicious, and the guides seem to know everything about anything you could ask. You're shown everything up close, and get a real feel for the markets and neighborhoods they're in. Absolutely amazing tour, everyone should try it.
