Essential tour to get to know real Lima - The food tour was an unforgettable experience for me and my friend! Since we did it I feel so familiar with the Peruvian kitchen and culture. I can also highly recommend the experienced and very friendly guide who told us interesting stories behind the dishes we were offered to try. Also, he was able to answer pretty much any question about Peru. The food was tasty and I tried a lot of new things which were all eatable so there's nothing to worry about. So don't miss the opportunity to get to know Peru better!

Amazing tour - Our street food tour with Bruce was incredible! It gave us an amazing taste of Peru’s diverse and delicious cuisine. Bruce took us to hidden gems we’d never have found on our own and introduced us to some unique dishes, including the iconic ceviche! The tour was thoughtfully designed, even accommodating vegetarians and pescatarians. I highly recommend Bruce and Inka Pride to anyone looking to experience the true flavors of Peru!

Experience 100% recommended! - We ate everything and walked through neighborhoods and places we would not have gone without our guide, who has shared many addresses of locals! Best tour of all, very complete as our guide gave us historical data about all the dishes we tried and neighborhoods we visited. Thank you very much again:)

Food tour with a difference - If you want a city tour with a difference, choose Inka Pride. Bruce was great - less of a tour guide, more of a mate showing you around his city. He clearly had a relationship with the best vendors and gave us greater insight into the city, culture and its dishes. Bruce was recommended by a friend and we are delighted to be recommending him to others - he will go above and beyond to make your time in Lima an unforgettable experience.

Great food tour. Fun and informative. - This tour was awesome. Bruce took us to many places we would have never gone on our own. The variety of food was good, from ceviche to dessert. I don’t eat seafood but Bruce was able to accommodate. There was lots of walking through extremely busy streets but the guide made sure we were not left behind. I highly recommend this tour for a fun way to get to know Peruvian food and its history.

Superb walking food tour in Lima with knowledgeable and fun to guide, Hulk. - Our free walking food tour in Lima with Hulk was fantastic! Hulk’s a super friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and his English is excellent. Hulk knew the food market area really well, so we got to feel fully immersed in the local Cuisine and daily life. We simply paid for our food and gave Hulk a tip at end of tour. Definitely 5 stars 🌟 experience! We loved it so much we ended up booking another tour with the same tour guide, Hulk…And we also loved his Barrwnco tour.
