Foodtastic tour - The tour guide was informative and had a lot of knowledge about the food and culture of Peru. I like how he was prepared with gloves, napkins and other needed items.

Get a TASTE of the REAL Lima! - Wonderful! Tasty, fun, and very educational. Our guide, Jovanna (sp?), was charming and incredibly knowledgeable. On this tour, you will not only taste authentic cuisine, but you will also learn about the culture of Peru/Lima, as you might not have experienced at remote tourist destinations. The excitement of the local markets and the authenticity of the shopping experience comes alive with this tour. Highly recommend!

Must do if you have a free afternoon in Lima - Lima's market is absolutely huge and crowded, without knowing the place you'd have to spend many days to find your way around. Amazing food and interesting information. Giovana, our guide, was a perfect person to help us make sense of that crazy (in a good way) place. Must do afternoon activity in Lima.
