Amazing tour must do in Lima - The tour was amazing! Bruce was so friendly and helpful! Had the best insight and introduction to local foods and market and culture. We ran into some issues prior and Bruce was so understanding and helpful. He also showed us that the food was clean and safe and yummy. Had the best ceviche in our lives! Must do in Lima! Definitely check out his other tours too.

The best ceviches I've ever had! - The tour was delicious and felt like we get to try some real local food.
The ceviche and picarones was so special.
Bruce shared with us some general knowledge about Peru and the explanation behind each dish was balanced like the tastes :)

Delicious food and fantastic guide - Do not miss this tour when you are in Lima! Bruce was an amazing guide and took us to places we never would have found on our own. The food was phenomenal and his knowledge and humor made it an unforgettable experience. The group all got to know each other and went out for dinner and drinks after!

Solid, delicious, strong message at the end - Excellent selection of dishes, spots, curious great experience to walk around the crazy ocean of local people in the non touristic part but super busy business streets of Cusco city!
I have to Say that Inka Pride Tours offer much more than just a Food Tour: Solid topics. Amazing structure. Cool guy, super direct, knowledable and openminded guide Bruce.
We had a lot of fun! Thank you very much Bruce! We'll miss you!
