Walk, talk and taste Lima with Jonathan! - We had a fantastic walking and tasting tour with Jonathan from Travel Buddies in Lima. Jonathan is very knowledgable about the history of Peru and took us on a great walk of Lima talking about the culture, history and stopping at various places to taste the local food. We would highly recomend this tour with Jonathan.

Fun food tour of Lima - My husband and I did this tour and it was our favorite activity we did in Lima. Our guide Johnathon was personable and knowledgeable of both Lima and the foods we tried. And there was a lot of food! It was like having a friend show us around his city. After the tour he sent us information about all the food we tried since we couldn’t remember everything. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Tour!!! - The walking tour was fantastic and had a great selection of different cuisines to try. Jonathan was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Especially his historical insights about the city of Lima. He answered all of my questions and couldn't help me enough. He even gave me multiple recommendations for other things to do and places to see in the city. Highly recommend this tour to start off your time in Lima.

Top experience in Lima! - Our guide was Jonathan and he was so nice. We had a short time in Lima but he showed us all the top sites we would have missed. The city is big and harder to navigate than Cusco without a guide. We ate so much food along the way, come hungry. At the end he gave us recommendations for dinner in our area. Great tour, book it!

Yummy walking tour - Fabulous street food, we were stuffed by the end! It was great to learn both more about Lima and the traditional food and drinks, which goes to make Peruvian food some of the best in the World!

Local Lima. - Great experience. My guide was a native but spoke fluent English. Had been to school in the states. Showed me the central market where we sampled some of his childhood favorites, China town and Grand Hitel Bolivar where we finished off the tour with a Pisco Sour. Travelled like locals on the express bus lines from Miraflores to the old Central City. Fantastic.

Local street food and samples!! - SUPER tour! Diego was an awesome guide. We took the bus to Old Lima, then spent a lot of time in the city’s oldest market, sampling different foods. Chinatown, then street food, before taking the bus back to Miraflores. Don’t eat before this tour—you will be well fed. Highly recommend!!

Good tour with nice guide through Lima with great streetfood. - It's a very nice tour that brings you to the important tourist sites in the center district of Lima, but also tells you a lot about the local food and street food. A good tour you won't leave hungry. Our Guide Miguel was very nice and helpful, and we now have more ideas for food to try then we can eat during our stay.
