Highly recommend!!! - Our tour guide, Amy, was very enthusiastic in her job. She explained things well with good positive energy. The restaurants (Cala, Huaca Pucllana, Xoma) all served delicious food. Our whole group was so full by the time we got to La Bodega Verde for desserts. The desserts were my least favorite because they were overly sweet for me personally. The driver, Juan (I think it’s how his name is spelled), was very polite and friendly as well. The short walk thru Barranco at the end was much needed to digest all the food from dinner. Overall, this food tour is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Great food experience - This food tour was a great way to enjoy fine dining of Peruvian and fusion cuisine in a nice and cozy environment. The quality and the freshness of the ingredients is of highest standards. Our guide Amy was excellent in explaining the dishes and as well as the ingredients. She also gave us good understanding of the Peruvian eating habits and lifestyle. The tour was on time and very smooth. Value for money n time well spent.

Great way to get familiar with Lima cuisine - We started at Cala where we had ceviche and tiradito overlooking the ocean and listening to the surf as the sun went down, learning a lot about the traditions around ceviche. We then went to the restaurant attached to Huaca Pucllana overlooking the archeological site and learning more of the history of Lima. There was a third restaurant which was extremely modern. We then went for desserts and walked around a bit in Barranco to see the street art and learn more about that neighborhood.
Our guide, Sue (not sure of spelling) was very knowledgeable, personable and a good teacher.
Would highly recommend but pace yourself, I skipped lunch and still thought it was a lot of food!

Memorable Evening with Carlos! - My wife and I find it helpful to book a food tour on our first full day in a foodie destination. So of course, we were going to book such a tour when we got to Lima, which is a culinary mecca. Lima Gourmet Food Tour was a great choice! Host Carlos was wonderful, a gifted teacher and storyteller whose passion for the wonderful food of Lima was palpable. We especially loved the Ceviche at the beautiful first stop and the family style food (especially the empanada and Lomo Saltado) at the second stop (which was next to the iconic Huaca Pucllana temple). Of all the food tours we’ve been on over the years, this is definitely one of the very best, we highly recommend!

The Highlight of Lima - We did not know what to expect as it was our first gourmet tour as well as our first time to Lima. Lima has a world class food scene and this tour truly exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Patricia was outstanding as she not only provided information and insight into the food and drink preparation, but also told us about her childhood experiences in the Amazon, some history of the city, as well as insight into the current advantages and issues of modern life in LIma. We visited 4 top restaurants and loved them all. It almost felt like a “progressive” dinner. If only we had known, we would have fasted for 2 days beforehand. Every dish and drink were carefully chosen and unique. Definitely our highlight in Lima.

Group size - I would have rather do the activity with a smaller group. Some people are not in the same page as others and it makes it hard.
