Fantastic Food, Wonderful Guide, Happy Tummies!

Rachel_C, Jun 2026

We had a fantastic private culinary experience with Chef Alejandro! It was the perfect introduction to authentic Peruvian cuisine. He took us to several wonderful local restaurants and shared the history and culture behind each dish. One of the highlights was watching him prepare a fresh, delicious ceviche right in front of us. We enjoyed an incredible variety of food, including Pan con Chicharrón, empanadas, ceviche, conchas a la chalaca, and lomo saltado, along with chicha morada and a classic Pisco Sour. We also had the opportunity to taste a selection of delicious local Peruvian fruits. We left with full hearts, happy tummies, and a much deeper appreciation for Peruvian food and culture. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Peru!

Best Peruvian food experience

Laura_A, Oct 2024

I booked this tour very last minute on my solo trip to Lima, and was super thankful Chef Alejandro was available. This was by far my most favorite experience in Lima. Chef Alejandro is extremely knowledgeable in all things Peruvian cuisine, and would explain anything and everything you had questions on. If you don’t know where to start on your Peruvian food tours, I would 10/10 recommend this experience.
