Amazing day in Arequipa - We had an amazing time with Karla on our tour in Arequipa! The day started with a vibrant visit to the local market, where Karla introduced us to unique Peruvian ingredients and local specialties. Her knowledge and passion made the experience unforgettable.
We then strolled through the charming streets of Arequipa, stopping at several restaurants to taste authentic dishes like rocoto relleno. Each stop was carefully curated, and Karla ensured we understood the cultural significance behind the flavors.
The walking portions were delightful, offering beautiful views of the city while we digested between tastings. Karla’s warm personality and attention to detail made the tour feel personal and special.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the true taste of Arequipa!

“Authentic Food Tour in Arequipa with a Wonderful Guide” - I had a fantastic food tour in Arequipa, where I visited the local market and several authentic restaurants to taste the city’s culinary gems. My guide, Carolina, was simply wonderful! Not only was she incredibly sweet, but she was also very knowledgeable about Arequipa’s food culture and history. She took me to places I would never have found on my own, and I got to taste some of the most delicious local dishes. The entire experience was authentic and unforgettable – a perfect way to explore the city through its food. I highly recommend the tour!
