Top Lima Walking Tours - page 3

Today, I discovered that gastronomy is not measured by the number of dishes served, but by the emotions each one evokes. It began with Peru's most iconic expression of the sea—a classic ceviche, where pristine fish surrendered to the bright acidity of leche de tigre, softened by sweet potato and giant corn. Every bite was a conversation between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, reminding me that simplicity, when perfected, is extraordinary

I had an absolutely amazing food market tour with Giovana! She knew the best stalls, the stories behind each dish, and made sure we tried a great mix of flavors we never would have found on our own. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel personal. If you’re visiting and want an authentic taste of the local food scene, I can’t recommend her enough!

Alexis (our guide) and the chef (I forgot his name) were great at guiding us through the class. The chef didn’t speak English so Alexis had to translate through the entire process, which made it a little awkward when there were multiple people doing different things, but we managed. We prepared ceviche and lomo saltado, had a fruit tasting, and a potato tasting. I could’ve done without the market tour because we just walked around. I’ve done other tours where we actually purchase at the market the ingredients we would use for the class. Regardless, it was still a lovely experience and I do recommend.

The activity is very well mapped out! Our group got to explore all around Historic Center while getting to experience some amazing dishes, in places that I could have not found alone. My tour guide was Sheyla and she was absolutely delightful. Her breadth of knowledge about structures and the food that I got to experience that afternoon were truly impressive. Most importantly, she radiated passion for the history and culture of the Peruvian people that made the experience truly worth it. Cannot recommend this experience enough!

Absolutely fabulous day trip around Lima. Alex was very professional, a great host and so knowledgeable. We landed at a Sunday Market where we sampled several nati e fruits. Walked around the more "Bohemian" neighborhood of Barranco and beach-side fishing market of Chorrillos and then into Dowtown. We had a lovely Peruvian lunch and finished the day shopping and touring the San Francisco convent and catacombs. It was awesome!

This tour was seamless and absolutely worth the 3:45 a.m. wake up. Communication leading up was excellent. We knew exactly where to be an when. Our tourguide, Renzo, spoke fluent English and switched between Spanish and English to translate everything without being asked! Most persons on the tour were Spanish speakers but he ensured we felt totally looped in. The same should be said of the individual attraction guides - they all said everything twice - first in Spanish then English, just excellent. The bus was large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was light and inexpensive. The boat ride was so relaxing, food at the beautiful winery excellent and the dune buggy ride and sanboarding exillerating. Plenty stops at clean restroom facilities. A note for solo travellers - we had 2 and by the end of day you would have thought they came with friends. People can be so kind and friendly. 10/10 highly recommended.

We are so pleased that we signed up for this tour. Our guide, Jonathan, was the very best guide anyone could want. In his very clean and comfortable vehicle, he took us to areas that we had not previously been after two separate excursions from our cruise ship. He communicated promptly and delivered a tour that exceeded our expectations. These sections of Lima are absolutely beautiful and very much worth the time to visit. Don’t miss out on this wonderful experience.

We enjoyed our tour to Lima, which included a one and a half hour walking tour of the historical center. Our tour guide was amazing and helped us navigate a very busy historical centre given it was a national holiday. There was so much more to see than I had imagined. Lima’s historic centre is quite grand with most of it accessible on a pedestrian path. It was New Year’s Day, and everyone was out celebrating. I think we would’ve been lost without a guide. The bus to and from the historic centre was comfortable, although some conflict arose about seat switching, which had nothing to do with the tour company, but some very arrogant tourists on board became extremely aggressive and antagonizing to all the Latino tourists on the bus. My children and I were quite shocked and everybody was very uncomfortable with their aggression. This is not reflection on the company. We were on the upper deck and the guides were on the main deck.
