Fantastic! - My partner and I had a wonderful time with Alonso on this food tour. We visited several lovely restaurants trying some local delicacies and learning about the history of Peruvian cuisine. The food was sensational and we even had a trip to the local market to try some fruits and learn about the ingredients - everyone was very friendly. Alonso was super knowledgeable and fun to be around - we learned about the food, some local sites, and some local history as well at eating some wonderful and new food. Would definitely recommend this tour - a lovely way to spend and afternoon in Arequipa!

A great way to sample the foods of Arequipa - Alonso our guide for this trip was wonderful! He was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We had a great time at the local market trying several new fruits and learning about Peruvian vegetables. Alonso told us many interesting facts about the city as we walked from restaurant to restaurant. We tried several popular dishes at each of the three restaurants he took us to from appetizers to main dishes to desserts and even several drinks. We would highly recommend this tour and Alonso.

Great experience - Such a great way to learn about a city, so much more fun than a regular walking tour. You get to learn all About the city as well as so many different types of foods you never would have tried without doing a food tour. Trying different fruits at a local market was so good. Then visiting local authentic restaurants to try the most delicious foods was such a highlight. Doing all this with a really friendly guide makes this such a great experience.

Do This Tour! - I have been to Arequipa many times and have taken many of the tourists tours. I had not done a food tour and when friends mentioned they were going, I knew this was right up my alley. Alonso led us on a fabulous food tour of the city -full of history and interesting details. I will highly recommend this adventure.

Fun, informative, and delicious - Alonso did a fantastic job introducing us not only to the regional food of Arequipa but also sharing some history of the city and country and answering all of our many questions. The tour was well organized, thoughtful, informative! Well worth the cost, I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about food and culture in Arequipa.

Irreproachable, we love it - We enjoyed it so much! Everything went well, Alonso was great company. We learned a lot about history from the pre-Incas to recent events... Peru's cuisine is very rich, so each dish has a story... that merges with the country's history. We learned and tasted great dishes. Super experience, I highly recommend it, book it!!!

No show - I waited for 30 minutes at the plaza entrance from 1 to 1:30 and there was a no show from the guide. I returned to my accommodations where I had wifi and tried to reach the tour operator by the number provided and Viator with no luck. I saw they had processed a refund at 1:15, but I wasted a total of an hour my afternoon getting to the spot and then waiting. I was on time (said 1pm meeting at plaza) It would have been great to have notice of cancellation so I could have reorganized my afternoon.
