What are people saying about Lima

Lisa_L, Jun 2026

Great time

I signed up for this at the last minute, and I’m so glad I did. This was such a fun experience! Naomi was fantastic—her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm really made the class special. The food we made was delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and a lot of fun. One thing to note: while the activity is listed as two hours, plan on it taking a little longer if you have a full group. I wouldn’t make plans right afterward that you need to rush to. This was easily one of the best activities I’ve done. I had a great time, learned a lot, and would absolutely recommend it to others.

The best food of Peru

This was the perfect class for my first day in Peru as I was able to learn about the signature food of Peru and Lima. Chef Rafael is warm and inviting. I enjoyed the delicious food and the pisco sour. I am taking home recipes to make for my friends when I return home. This is a hands on experience and very relaxing for any level of cook.

Great Food and Experience

We made the most delicious Lomo Saltado and Causa Limeña was also very good. I just wish we had made it with chicken as I originally expected, but it was still delicious. The class ran smoothly and I think it was one of everyone’s favorite experiences.

This tour was incredible....

This tour was incredible. I have been on many food tours and this was among the best. The guide Alex was amazing. I learned so much about Peru and Lima through the food. You could tell he was passionate about what he was discussing. An excellent way to visit the different districts and see how unique they were. I enjoyed that we also learned about the art walking through Barranco. The market tour was great and we got to actually sample a fruits instead of just talking about them. Each restaurant was very unique and charming. The ceviche cooking class was also incredible. Lastly, eating and looking out over ancient ruins was incredibly unique and unforgettable . You get good portions and I was not left hungry. You got a chance to customize things as well which I appreciated. He made very sure no one with food restrictions would be left out and provided options. It made me excited to explore and try more. Well worth the money. I only wish I had time for the PM tour as well!
