    This was a nice food tour. The ceviche was the highlight, but we had several dishes and snacks. I also loved the morada. Highly recommend.

    Wonderful Sampling of Peruvian Food

    Lynne_G, Dec 2025
    Luca gave us a wonderful overview of Peruvian food. We started at the fish market, then went to a market where we tasted a number of Peruvian fruits, most of which we had never had. We ended at Market #2, where we shared 4 dishes at one vendor and then had a ceviche master demonstrate making ceviche, which we then enjoyed. Luca picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Miraflores, so this tour was very convenient. The highlights were the fruit and ceviche.

    Very good tour. We had...

    Very good tour. We had Any, and she did a fantastic job explaining not only the different types of food but also the historical context behind them.

    Amazing for families

    Nadia_J, Nov 2025
    We went to two amazing market, and then the fishing area by the pier! It was such a great experience for our entire family! We had ages 1 to 50 and everyone enjoyed it! Our tour guide, Lucas was really kind. Made us feel really safe and really knowledgeable of the Peruvian food…. We ate at a spot that was featured in Netflix and we had some really good ceviche in our ceviche making course… we tried some delicious fruits at the fruit market! And got to visit the beach with the pier and the fishing market! We had a one year-old, a nine-year-old, and for adults and it was just such a great family experience!

    Super fun food tour!

    Laura_V, Nov 2025
    This was a super fun experience! We did the 930 pick up and we were so full by the end of the tour. Everything was delicious and trying new fruits was so fun. Highly recommend this tour!

    Wonderful Lima Markets Tour!

    If you love trying local fruits, snacks and meals you'll enjoy this tour of Lima's markets. Jhonny was an excellent guide sharing his culture and knowledge of all the foods. Great experience!

    Great Street Food Tour with Johnny Lucas!

    Philipp_P, Jul 2025
    We had an amazing time on this tour with Johnny. He answered all our questions, explained everything clearly, and shared some fascinating history about Peru and Lima. His English was excellent, and he really adapted the tour to our group. The food was delicious – we tried things we would never have chosen ourselves. Everything was very well organized. Our driver Ernesto was fantastic – punctual, friendly, and reliable. We could fix our pickup location in advance, and he brought us back safely to the meeting point. Highly recommended! Five stars!

    Fantastic Tasting!

    Andrea_K, Feb 2025
    Don’t eat breakfast! This tour will take you to three different markets where you will be able to taste large portions of Peruvian traditional foods including ceviche. Fun tour, picked up and dropped off at hotel and driven from place to place.

    Local and authentic.

    Fun Lima Food Market Tour

    Allen_E, May 2024
    Really nice, relaxing and tasty food tour through Lima's markets. We visited several markets and enjoyed the experience - tasted fruits we'd never seen - or heard of - before, then off to the best cervicheria in any of the markets - all in all it was fun and tasty and informative and Annie was a superb guide.

    Highlight of my time in Lima

    Jonathan_M, Jan 2024
    Fabulous!. I was the only person who signed up so it was just me and the my guide Jonny. The food we had markets was far better than any of the fancy restaurants I tried prior. The fruit tasting was another highlight. Highly recommend!

    Up close tour of the best markets in Lima

    Gary_C, Oct 2021
    The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. You don't feel separated from the places, but completely immersed. The food is fantastic and varied, so you really should come hungry. There's almost no waiting at any point, and just a few minutes of walking. The fish and local fruits are fresh and delicious, and the guides seem to know everything about anything you could ask. You're shown everything up close, and get a real feel for the markets and neighborhoods they're in. Absolutely amazing tour, everyone should try it.
