Fantastic tour!

Mario_H, Feb 2025

A must when visiting Lima. It completes the experience as you get to see local life and to taste a delicious ceviche in a local market or great desserts from everyday life.

Excellent Food Tasting and Market Visits

Donald_N, Jan 2025

Excellent tour. Good pre-tour communication and the driver was right on time. Went to several markets to see local produce and see how people live in Lima. Visited a number of kiosks and food stands to sample various kinds of local fare, all outstanding. The ceviche was especially noteworthy. Everything was very clean and we had no ill effects from eating foreign food. Visited a number of attractive neighborhoods on the south side of Lima that were a nice change from the gritty downtown.

Great food experience and nice tour of Lima to places off the usual tourist track.

Our guide, Alvaro, took us to a number of interesting sites that we were not expecting. We started of at a vibrant marketplace where we sampled some delicious ceviche and causal. Then Alvaro agreed to take us jewellery shopping, acting as a translator with the vendors. After that we drove across town (great driving by Jimmy) to a fish market in Chorillos. Here we got to watch the fishermen bringing in their catch, and the process that they go through after the weigh in. We got to spend some time at the pier, which was so refreshing. Then we drove to the Blanco Christo statue, which was a challenging drive up a steep hillside, but well worth the view once there. Finally we tried picarones in Barranco, which were slightly sweet, crunchy, and extremely delicious.
