We watched making the ceviche and the sea bass was great. To end the end we had pisco sour and then gelato. Great tour and we got some history to go with it”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 656 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $69

Walk Lima’s Historic Center tasting tamal, emoliente, pisco, and market fruits on a 4-hour small-group street-food tour ($69).

“The food tour was good. We were disappointed to see there was 12 people when the description listed a maximum of 10. Our guide was soft spoken which is not her fault so with the group that size we missed some of the conversation and then she had to repeat it. The highlight was the caramel filled churro. It was awesome. Do come hungry on this tour as there is lots of food. It was great to walk around the historic part of Lima”

“Do not pass up this food tour! We were fortunate enough to meet multiple Monkeys (our guide, her helper, and the owner) and each one of them was so knowledgeable about Cusco and the food. Definitely go hungry because you will eat A LOT. I was struggling at the end to finish everything but it was all so good! Eating in moderation was not an option on this tour since every stop we got to kept getting better and better. You will be doing yourself a disservice by not signing out for this tour!”

15.A 3-hour Guided Food Tour with 4 Iconic Restaurants of Arequipa

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 96 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $79

A small-group, 3-hour Arequipa food walk with 4 iconic stops, 6 plates, 3 regional drinks, and a dessert, led by Alonso.

“Our tour was cancelled due to a “personal inconvenience” of the guide that morning. Tough to know if a personal inconvenience was a family emergency (which is completely understandable) or if he just woke up and didn’t feel like it. However, the frustrating part is that we were not informed that the tour wasn’t happening. We waited a half hour and had to figure out how to contact the host. We should have been told in advance so we could have planned our day accordingly as the decision was apparently made that morning.”
