Wonderful experience in the heart of Lima! - The experience was wonderful! Alex was very kind and helpful from the first moment. Although I was the only person to book the tour and was traveling alone, they organized it anyway despite the minimum number of participants being two. Young, the Guide, a very sweet and expert girl both on food, and full of curiosity about lima and Peru that she shared with me during the tour. Even Gandi, the driver, was very nice and very helpful, and we chatted and shared a lot! It was a pleasure to take part in this experience and live this adventure! Thank you guys, you are a fantastic team!

Food Tour with Giovana - - This tour was perfect for us because we wanted to learn about Peru's food culture, and this tour showed us many different high-quality Peruvian dishes that we would not have found otherwise! My partner's favorite part was buying local fruits at the market, and then sharing them in the park together. My favorite was probably the pan con chicharron at the beginning, or the anticuchos. - Our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable, and was able to elevate the experience of food to talk about the culture and history of Peru. For example, when we visited the Chinese food district, she talked about the history of Chinese immigration to Peru, and their integration and social influence in modern day. - Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip! Giovana was an excellent tour guide.

Well worth it - Gustavo brought us around and he was excellent. He was really knowledgeable and was eager to share information about the food and the history of the city. We were shocked at the amount of food we tried and came home full - the potions were big and had a nice mix between sweet and savoury.

Delicious and authentic Peruvian market experience - Our tour was fantastic and our favorite way to explore the local’s version of Lima. Exploring the market on a Saturday with Yoced was very informative and filled with so many local people and cuisines. We got to try so many different Peruvian foods and would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a more authentic food experience than the tourist spots. Our guide Yoced was friendly, knowledgeable, and very experienced in navigating the area and dishes. We would happily join him on another tour.
