Traveller Tips

Peruvian snacks and a lunch were also given so this is a tour to go on when you are hungry!!

The food was fantastic at the markets - don't eat breakfast as you wont be able to fit it all in.

Seeing Barranco through the eyes of the locales is the best kind of adventure.

breakfast at fisherman’s dock and the local market was our favorite parts. Tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Certainly a great way to introduce yourself to the city and become acclimated with the Peruvian way of life.

Aura met us at the hotel, it was just the two of us with her for the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects, from the fish market to the meat and vegetable stands, to the wonderful art in Barranco. Aura was very knowledgeable, never left us wondering what was happening or what was next, and answered all our questions with very, very good English! Highly recommend for foodies who enjoy art and history.

Great way to experience Lima!

If you like exploring different foods in a new country, then this tour is for you! We loved it from start to finish. The street food was so good, and trying a little bit of everything gave us a great idea of what locals love to eat in Peru. Our tour guide was excellent.

Fun in Barranca and fishing town.

Christian_A, Apr 2022

Awesome tour with an excellent guide. Yahaida shared a lot of information and even talked about many things that gave a glimpse into Peruvian people’s lives. The food was great and a good introduction to Peruvian food and ingredients.

Amazing experience

Alexandra_M, Apr 2022

Amazing tour and the guide was awesome. I learned lot of the Peruvian food, culture and markets, we have visited the fisherman's area, local markets and barranco, tried local Peruvian scnacks (they were really huge portions), local fruits and he also wanted to take us for more food but it was more than enough. The tour guide was very informative, kind, patient, funny and I had the feeling that I was talking with a friend of mine. Very good tour, I highly recommend it.

Cool & tasty way to learn about food & culture

Carolien_V, Apr 2022
