A good tour with Joced - We were in Lima in Nov 2024, Joced took us to taste delicious Peruvian food in the city center. We toured the Chinatown, the market, the catacombs and the Plaza de Armas. The guide gave us a tasting of Peruvian fruits. Always attentive to answer any questions and teach us the best of Peruvian cuisine.

Highly recommend Yocedds tour! - Our tour with Yocedd today was so excellent! He shared information in a fun and interesting way. He set a good pace and was easy to understand and hear. He gave us additional personal perspectives about daily life in Lima. He seemed to really enjoy his job and interacting with us.

Street food - Excellent treatment by Norman during the tour of the real Lima, the day to day of the Peruvians. Magnificent host with extensive knowledge of the cuisine of the country. What we got to try was super rich and fun to see so many people walking through the streets of Lima

Yoced the man - Our first 2 days in Peru were great thanks to Yoced. He was our guide for our 2 days in Lima. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and honest. He kept the tours interesting and adapted to our needs. We definitely recommend him. We wish he could be our guide for our whole Peru trip!

Excelente Tour - Excellent tour with Yocedd! You will taste the richest, such as choclo with cheese, potato stuffing, ceviche, purple chicha, anticucho and much more! It will also give you fruits such as melon cucumber, chirimoya, lucuma and others. You can walk through the Plaza de Armas and also know the catacombs! You walk a lot but you don't feel it because you stop in different places. Yocedd is very knowledgeable, provides security and is very friendly! Makes you feel like you're meeting a friend!

You're gonna have a great time - Excellent tour, they have to take it, Yoced is a great Guide, he knows a lot, he takes you to know the local culture while you try typical dishes and visit emblematic places, you will not realize how much you have walked to finish the tour, you will end up tired but satisfied. Trips alone, with partner, family or friends, this tour is ideal, it is very well organized. You're gonna enjoy it. P. D.: Put on comfortable clothes, carry a water bottle and a cap, and according to the weather wear a windbreaker.

Best option for short stays in Lima - If you are short on time and can do only 1 tour in Lima, this is a great option. I really wanted to explore the food scene in Lima and not only I got covered that option but also learned a lot about the history of the city. I wasnt sure about paying extra for pickup but it was the best decision as the center is really far from were I was staying (Barranco) and the traffic is insane. The driver Gandi was sharp on time for both the pick up and the return trip. The guide John Joseph (?) was very knowlegeable and we walk through so many areas that I wouldnt have been able to explore on my own, specially the market area. Loved the food samples and if I could give a recommensation would be to add a pisco sour stop.
