A tour full of different good food experience

We went on this tour with our guide Jose combining this tour with a historic tour of the city. Jose kindly showed us places of quality local food where we had opportunity to taste different tastes and flavours of mixed cultures living in Peru. All options were amazing and worth trying. Recommend!

Great experience overall!

I highly recommend this tour. Food is not the only attraction as you can also understand more about Peru's history and culture. Joan cam communicate very well and can talk about several other subjects other than food.

Boa experiência!

Fiz o tour com Juan Rimaq, e foi um tour bastante agradável, informativo e interessante. Provamos algumas comidas típicas de Lima de maneira dinâmica, interessante e a preço baixo. Recomendo!
