“Chef Eric was AMAZING!! He was such a fun guide and took such good care of our group. Very knowledgeable in Peruvian history and took us through a very vast market to get supplies needed for our class. I loved learning that there are 3,000+ potatoes in Peru. Once we got to the studio to cook, Chef Eric and his assistants took good care of us and timed each dish perfectly. I would definitely recommend this tour! 5 stars all around.”

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”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 375 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $57

Cusco market tour and Peruvian cooking class with Chef Ronald. Taste breads, cheeses, fruits, then cook dishes and Pisco Sours.

“What an amazing experience that was both fun and educational! I really felt by the end of the class I knew more about Peru, its people, and how they eat on a regular basis. Ronal is an exceptional chef and crafted great recipes for us to try, either ceviche or lomo saltado. The bonus dish was stuffed Peruvian peppers and of course the pisco sour. Ronal took care for each step, chopping properly, tasting, and giving an honest opinion about alpaca and guinea pig. I felt he was authentic, never catering to touristy ideas in an informative way. The market was also amazing! I’m not sure our group would have…”

A small-group 3.5-hour Cusco tour that pairs Inca and colonial icons with San Pedro Market, plus an easy, guided route from Plaza de Armas.

“Very nice tour. Unfortunately, we were experiencing altitude sickness. So when you arrive to Cuzco, give yourself a day to acclimatize. Drink tea, soup, no red meats just chicken. Stop by one of the local pharmacies and get some altitude sickness pills. We were sick for the entire tour, but the tour itself was really really good. Our guide Henry was extremely knowledgeable and showed us some very cool things! We just wish we weren’t sick during the tour. Also, take some Sol(Peruvian Money) with you in case you need to use the bathrooms. Most places charge 1-2 Sol to use the bathroom. There are very few places that have…”
