Best street food experience ever! - We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Bruce introduced us to food and fruits we would have never found on our own. He was fun and informative. He went out of his way to help us get a cab after the tour (our Uber never turned up) and followed up to make sure we got back to our hotel safe. I recommend this tour to all foodies…there’s no better way to get to know a city and its culture than through its cuisine

Best food tour in Lima - Excellent tour! We explored different sections and factions of central Lima, hidden food sellers in market halls, street stands all while learning about Peruvian history and culture. Cannot recommend enough, do this tour!

Wunderbares Erlebnis - Beyond the tourist spots, Bruce brought us to the real stuff. We tried food in hidden place, I never would have found myself. The tastes were amazing. Best ceviche ever (much better, than the one of the Netflix streetfood series).
Bruce explained a lot about the food and also social problems.
Highly recommended tour!

Delicious Lima food tour - The food and Bruce were amazing!
We started off this tour at the Biblioteca Nacional del Perú. We then wound are way through alleys, markets and china town to sample some authentic and delicious food and fresh fruit along the way.
