The tour was a nice mix...

Gail_S, Nov 2026

The tour was a nice mix of Peruvian food, sightseeing and culture. Diana was informative and friendly.

Response from Host, Nov 2026

Thank you for joining us in Lima, Gail! Travel has a way of creating unexpected moments, and we're pleased a few of yours came with Peruvian food and a bit of local culture. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.

Not worth the money

Yin_B, Sep 2026

Food portion very small: first stop was 2 skewers for 4 people where each skewer has 3 pieces of meat, second stop 4 pieces of chocolates for 4 people- not much of a tasting if each of us can only try one flavor. Had to pay 3 sols for almond milk instead of regular milk in hot chocolate, for an $80 per person tour, which is unbelievable. Tour guide is nice but has no deep knowledge of Peruvian cuisine - didn’t learn anything I don’t already know. Not worth the money.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your perspective, Yin. We thoughtfully curate our tours to showcase a variety of the local food scene, with tastings spaced throughout the tour so guests can enjoy several different flavors without becoming too full midway through the experience. At the same time, we appreciate your feedback on the portions, as personal tastes and appetites can vary, and this perspective is useful as we continue to refine how we deliver the experience. We’re also glad to hear that you found your guide hospitable. We acknowledge that every guest has different interests and expectations, and we equally value your perspective as we continue refining the experience and sharing the richness of the city’s food culture. We would be happy to welcome you back on a future visit and give you another opportunity to experience one of our tours. We hope we can provide an experience that better matches what you are looking for.

Fun intro to Peruvian cuisine

Randall_K, Jul 2025

Fun and well designed walking tour. We explored the Barranco learned the history of Peruvian cuisine and got to try new dishes Barranco is a hip Neighborhood with art and restaurants near the ocean. Peruvian cuisine is a fusion of many different types. Everything we tried was good And we would’ve happily spent more time exploring the area. Our Tour Guide took our time and we never felt rushed. Highly recommend for any foodie who is looking to learn about the area.

We loved the experience, being able to taste the dishes in local restaurants, with all the explanation of Diana we loved, it felt like a private tour because there were only 3. We recommend it 100%!
