Missing treasures of Barranco until you try out Foodies! - As a local, I’d like to highlight how enjoyable the experience was. I loved every moment! I believe tourists and locals can have the most fun out of the experience as there is so much to learn about the culture of this neighborhood named Barranco. If you wanna get to know this site of Lima through good food and amazing art pieces, you should definitely reach out Foodies!

Exploring Lima's Barranco: Tasty Food, Cool Art, and Fun Times! - Exploring Foodies Peru's Barranco Culinary & Art Experience was amazing, and I'd totally do it again! We ate tasty Peruvian food at "Ventarron" and even learned to cook some dishes ourselves. Now, I'm a big fan of Churitos and Causita a la Huancaína! Dinner at "Javier" was awesome, with a nice view and great Anticuchos. Walking on the famous Puente de los Suspiros was kinda romantic, and we learned a fun tradition of holding our breath while crossing it (hope my wish comes true!). Trying Lomo Saltado was like a tasty adventure in different kinds of food. Seeing the cool murals at Bajada de los Baños was fun, and trying Emoliente taught us about healthy drinks. Learning about mural artist Jade Rivera at Jade Rivera World was interesting, and trying Picarones was a sweet way to end our day. I totally recommend this tour if you're in Lima – it's a great way to learn about local culture, eat yummy food, and see cool art! ———- Die Erkundung Barranco Culinary & Art Experience Tour von Foodies Peru war einfach klasse, und ich würde es auf jeden Fall wieder tun! Wir haben leckeres peruanisches Essen im "Ventarron" gegessen und sogar gelernt, einige Gerichte selbst zuzubereiten. Jetzt bin ich ein großer Fan von Churitos und Causita a la Huancaína! Das Abendessen im "Javier" war toll, mit einer schönen Aussicht und leckeren Anticuchos. Der Gang über die berühmte Puente de los Suspiros war irgendwie romantisch, und wir haben eine lustige Tradition gelernt, beim Überqueren den Atem anzuhalten (ich hoffe, mein Wunsch wird wahr!). Wir probierten auch Lomo Saltado und es war einfach klasse, so viele verschiedene Gerichte kennen zu lernen. Neben leckerem Essen, haben wir auch etwas über Kunst gelernt, z.B. die Wandmalereien an der Bajada de los Baños. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, und das Probieren von Emoliente hat uns etwas über gesunde Getränke gelehrt. Wir haben auch etwas über den Wandkünstlers Jade Rivera gelernt und besuchten hierfür Jade Rivera World war, im Anschluss probierten wir noch Picarones, was ein süßer Abschluss unseres Tages war. Ich empfehle diese Tour auf jeden Fall, wenn du in Lima bist - es ist eine großartige Möglichkeit, die lokale Kultur kennenzulernen, leckeres Essen zu genießen und coole Kunstwerke zu sehen!

Savor a day in the life in Barranco - Had a fantastic time actually with one of the cofounders/owners. The trip was all relatively close to one another so it was nice and cute. I would say definitely plan on going in an empty stomach just in case you do get the trip by yourself! If you like art and food then this is definitely a good tour. The pick up and drop off is appreciated as well!

Best experience in Lima - This is the best event I've ever experienced in Lima! I met many very interesting people and the restaurants and beautiful stores they arranged were well worth a visit. And they explain a lot about Peruvian culture, it's not only a city exploration tour, but also a cultural exploration tour. As a tourist, you get to experience the most warm and authentic Peruvian vibe, and they become your friends all the time, I was in Peru for three weeks and they introduced me to many other cities' attractions and restaurants, in order to provide a lot of help. You can't miss this trip!

Amazing and Delicious - Daniel was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also super friendly. The food tour surprised us a lot. originally it was supposed to be 3-4 hours we ended up having such a great time chatting and learning the history of the food and city we didn't even notice the tour lasted 6 hours. With amazing food and incredible service, we can't wait to come back to Lima to take another one of their tours!

Barranco Food Tour - We booked this tour more than 2 weeks in advance and no-one showed up at the designated time - I called Daniel and he said they had no record of our reservation, so I sent him photos of our receipt and the email confirmation. He was very apologetic, and we re-booked for the next night (luckily we were free), but it was kind of annoying and I see that this happened to other people as well. These guys need to get a new reservation system, seriously. The tour itself was good - Ignacio, our guide was super friendly and fairly knowledgeable. We ate amazing food and got to see restaurants that we may not have gone to on our own. Fun night, excellent food, nice guide.

Overbooked. Would have been nice to be told in advance. - Waited in the hotel lobby and no one ever came to pick me up. I had to reach out to be told they were full and offered to book me for the next evening which I could not do. Why did the gentlemen ask me how many was in my party before he told me they couldn’t accommodate me? I was a party of one. I am currently waiting for a refund.
