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!

Great guide for food tour - The tour with Choji on our first day in Peru was a great way to learn about Peruvian history, to discover Lima and to taste the different flavours of Peru. Choji took us to places and eateries we wouldn’t have discovered without him.

Exceptional Introduction to Lima's Culture and Cuisine - This tour was absolutely amazing! It exceeded our expectations by offering much more than just tasting 10 local foods. Our guide, Ivonne, took us on a captivating journey through multiple landmarks, historical buildings, and unique food experiences. Ivonne's deep knowledge and passion for Lima's culture and cuisine shone through, making each stop a memorable adventure. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Lima on our very first day in the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the true essence of Lima!

An incredible food journey through Lima - Choji took us places that we never would have found on our own. We were able to taste the food from many down-to-earth Lima restaurants. Some restaurants had been there since the 1960s but also very small, locally run establishments. Most importantly, all the food delicious! Muy Rico!

Trap! Don't bother - Tourist trap! The tour started out great! Our guide Ivonne was very accommodating, and took is to many interesting places and gave a quick history lesson with places we passed. The reason the star rating and low recommendation is for our last stop: they price gouged us five times the regular price, when we bought additional items and Ivonne assured it was the right price. We didn't realize until after the tour was over and we happened to see these items listed for a much lower price. For example :Paying 90 PEN vs 18 PEN ( another store). Viator should look into this and remove this tour guide who makes extra commision on the side by looting the tourists that help the tourism and economy.
