#1 Rated Lima Cooking Class: Make Ceviche, Causa & Pisco Sours!

Lisa_L, June 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.

Lima Gourmet Food Tour: Daytime Experience

Breeane_W, Mar 2026

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!
