We did the tour with Sheyla, she is absolutely amazing. All the food spots we visited were very good and she explained to us what was special about them in a way that we really felt her enthusiasm and passion. During our journey we did alot of tours, but this one was definitely the best of them all. Thankyou!

The food tour was so amazing. I got to learn about the food and culture of Lima. We got to walk through the historical part of Lima and also Chinatown. We got to try street food, fruits, and also resturant foods.

Aura is a good experienced guide! Was a nice tour. We went to a mix of food and drinks and local dishes. We enjoyed it a lot. We can recommend it to everyone who was visiting Lima.

Our food tour guide on December 5th, 2025, was the best I've had in Peru so far (and we've been on five tours already). She was very well-versed in all areas of Lima cuisine! She went out of her way to ensure she spoke with everyone and made them feel at ease in a foreign country. I'd actually retake the tour if we had more time. There was soooo much food, and all of it was top notch, you definitely won't go hungry, don't eat within 3 or 4 hours before the tour because you won't have enough room for all the food.

This was the perfect tour. Shayla was our tour guide and she was so affable, filled with knowledge, and funny. We are so much food that by the middle I was almost already full. It was also great walking around the historical part of Chile. We also visited Chinatown.

Marcos was highly in knowledgeable about the Lima area being a local and was able to communicate well in English and answer all our questions The tour was well paced and the stops he used where good quality and friendly and true food was a good representation of what the locals consume We we lucky to be the only two people on the tour so had a private experience
