Do it - A fun way to enjoy some local food, drink, culture, and just get out to see Miraflores. We really enjoyed all the tastings and our time with Miguel. He was very friendly, well organized, and thoughtful. We appreciated having such a nice guide.

Wonderful time trying delicious food unique to Peru. - We had an amazing time learning about and tasting so many foods and drinks that are unique to Peru with our wonderful guide Miguel. The tour was in the centre of Lima, the old town, which is architecturally stunning. Miguel was very knowledgable about not only gastronomy but also the history of Lima; we learned so much from him and he was truly a delight. I highly recommend this tour for all the reasons noted above but also because we likely would not have eaten some of the unique and delicious food otherwise. Final comment - come hungry as you will be absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour.

Fabulous cultural intro to Lima! - I was very fortunate to be Jonathan’s guest for this four hour cultural and food sampling tour to downtown Lima. It was a fantastic experience using the Metopolitana bus system from Miraflores to downtown Lima and back. Jonathan pointed out places of interest and we journeyed to different local food eateries. It was an excellent way of trying Peruvian snacks, fruits and drink. Excellent demonstration and sampling of different Pisco drinks. Jonathan even followed up after the tour with links and pictures of things that we talked about on the tour. He molded my positive impression of Lima wishing I had more days to explore this wonderful city. Thanks for this experience!

Fun food tour of Lima - My husband and I did this tour and it was our favorite activity we did in Lima. Our guide Johnathon was personable and knowledgeable of both Lima and the foods we tried. And there was a lot of food! It was like having a friend show us around his city. After the tour he sent us information about all the food we tried since we couldn’t remember everything. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Tour!!! - The walking tour was fantastic and had a great selection of different cuisines to try. Jonathan was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Especially his historical insights about the city of Lima. He answered all of my questions and couldn't help me enough. He even gave me multiple recommendations for other things to do and places to see in the city. Highly recommend this tour to start off your time in Lima.

Top experience in Lima! - Our guide was Jonathan and he was so nice. We had a short time in Lima but he showed us all the top sites we would have missed. The city is big and harder to navigate than Cusco without a guide. We ate so much food along the way, come hungry. At the end he gave us recommendations for dinner in our area. Great tour, book it!

Local Lima. - Great experience. My guide was a native but spoke fluent English. Had been to school in the states. Showed me the central market where we sampled some of his childhood favorites, China town and Grand Hitel Bolivar where we finished off the tour with a Pisco Sour. Travelled like locals on the express bus lines from Miraflores to the old Central City. Fantastic.
