The One tour you can't miss. - We are touring South America and we love Lima, Peru the most thanks to Choji. He adapted our local tour to fit our needs. He was considerate, fun and engaging. We saw little places with family histories going back four generations. We would never have found them on our own, nor would we have understood their significance and contribution to local culture. There were so many different flavours on this tour! We learned so much about local culture, Lima, and Peru. This was way more than a fantastic foodie tour! You can't miss it.

Great Tastings and experiences - An awesome experience Evonne our guide was spectacular. Very knowledgable of the rich history of central Lima. Each tasting spot was special but my favorite was the churros.

Real local - Choji is the perfect guide: he knows what to eat and where to eat — and every food vendor seems to know him, too! Super fun and interesting guy. Wish we could have spent even more time exploring with him!

Make this the first thing you do in Lima - Wow! This tour knocked our socks off. Forget the city tour, you’ll learn everything from there and more with Choji. Choji is a born and raised Peruvian. He introduced us to the best hidden gems that Lima has to offer. He’s super knowledgeable about history, architecture, and culture. He is so engaging and interesting - you will be hanging on to every single word. Every tasting was an absolute knock out. I really cannot recommend this tour enough! Make this the first thing you do in Lima and I guarantee it will be your best experience!

Fascinating experience. - We did the tour with Choji with my family (three little kids, they had to taste everything and loved it… most of it) and it was fascinating. Choji is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide that shows you around the busy streets of Lima with lightning speed to eat, taste, smell and see the most incredible things the Peruvian kitchen has to offer. You end up upstairs in small restaurants where all the locals eat, for a reason. We would have never had the guts to go in and order the exotics things Choji threw at us. Memorable!

Food and history tour - Enjoyed our food tour with Ivonne, she was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food she took us to was interesting, lots of fruit at the market. Enjoyed the dim sum and churros the best. Very noisy so difficult to hear Ivonne sometimes. Also thought we'd signed up for a food tour, a lot of history about the surroundings which was interesting but not necessarily what we asked for. Ended up around 4 hours long which was a lot of time for Ivonne to give us.
