Great!
Kiarra_F, Mar 2024
Our guide was great! Even though I was a solo traveler, I felt apart of the group. This is a great tour to spend half your day.
Peruvian cuisine is now one of my favorites!
Jay_H, Mar 2024
What a great way to try so many different foods and flavors of Peru! Ceci was such a great guide and took the time to explain the dishes and some of the history of the area as we walked from one stop to the next.
Great Food Tour
N_S, Mar 2024
I had a great time on this food tour. Mabel our guide was great! She showed us around to some great restaurants where we watched the chefs cook our meals and then tried Lomo Soltado, and Ceviche amongst other dishes. 2 of my favorites were the coffee shop and gelato shop. I would recommend this to anyone. Just make sure you come hungry because you will leave full.
Great experience in Barranco
Sierra_V, Mar 2024
We enjoyed our barranco food tour with Ceci. Great stops and delicious food and drinks! Very informative. Barranco is a beautiful neighborhood.
Gastronomical delight!
Marilynn_C, Mar 2024
Marcos, our tour guide, made the experience memorable. He covered history and agri-business, key proteins, fruits and vegetables essential to Peruvian cuisine. Then on to the selections and restaurants where food was prepared...wonderful spots. So satisfying intellectually and gastronomically. Thanks Marcos!!!!

Amazing food tour!
Jennifer_M, Feb 2024
Marcos was an amazing tour guide ! I was a bit concerned the tour might of gotten cancelled due to me being the only one who signed up for it but it didn’t ! It ended up being just Marcos and I ! Marcos is super knowledgeable of the Peruvian gastronomy . We went to different places and he explained what I was consuming and the history and background of each food and beverage . It was a lovely tour and you really do get to taste key staples of the Peruvian cuisine (you also get to see some street art in the mist of it !) Highly recommend this tour !

Don’t just think about it - DO It!!
Cathi_M, Feb 2024
This tour was exceptional. Ceci was our guide and was so knowledgeable, professional, personable and just down right cute!! The variety of foods (along with the preparations) we tried in a 4 hour period was amazing! Different local fruits and chocolates to breakfast to lunch to dinner along with cocktails and gelato for dessert. Not to mention history of the area!! I cannot recommend this tour enough. And ask for Ceci! She was adorable!!!

Must Do for Food Lovers!
Susan_H, Feb 2024
Ceci was the best tour guide! She balanced the history of Peru with excellent food culture. The stops were plentiful and the food amazing!!! I still haven’t found a better empanada. We had a great group of people who loved to talk travel and food This is always my favorite activity in a city. I would say this was one of my all time best! Thanks Ceci!! My only recommendation would be to include a bottle of water. It was a warm day, and my water bottle was empty.

Fantastic Food, Left Feeling Full
Brittney9087, Feb 2024
Our guide for this tour was Nathaly. She was friendly, informative, and gave us a good understanding of the different food options in Peru. It was a small group, 5 of us in total. We stopped at 6 different stops each focusing on a different specialty. There was a lot of variety in the food types and flavors. Not only was the tour delicious we learned a lot about the different flavors of Peru.

A great sampling of Cusco's agriculture and culinary prowess
Kelly_M, Feb 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience... not just the food but the culture, street art, and history also explored and shared with me by my guide. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the ceviche, but, truly everything was fabulous! Gracias!

Great Food Tour!
Evan_R, Feb 2024
Food was amazing - 10/10 would recommend. Marco was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable and personable. The meeting point is next to a large church and Marco arrived right on time. We tried all different types of food and got to see how they make ceviche. Pisco sours of course and other Peruvian staples.

Peruvian cuisine at its best!
leahtardo, Jan 2024
Fantastic! We were in Peru for 14 days and tried all the foods we could possibly try in many different regions, including multiple versions of the same dishes. This food tour was it! Over and over, we found ourselves saying, "Well, that was good...but not as good as it was on the food tour!" - We felt like special guests because many of the restaurants were not even open to the public yet, but there we were dining like kings and queens. Excellent, excellent!

Good tour but a little expensive
Kara_S, Jan 2024
The tour covered good areas of Barranco and provided an opportunity to try different food. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city. The tour goes on for a little long and could easily have been 3 hours. The length of time spent at the office was completely unnecessary and added no value to the tour. There also should have been more opportunities to have alcohol with the food, if you desired. The venues chosen were good however overall, compared to other food tours it was a little underwhelming.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hi Kara, Thanks a lot for your review. We are happy to read that you enjoyed the food, the neighborhood as well as the guide, Marcos! Our objective was reached! Regarding the other comments, we are not sure what you are referring to when you say that we spend time "at the office" as we don't stop at our office (it would be weird in a food tour, even though our staff have great tea and coffee!). Also, it would be impossible to do the tour in 3h without rushing things up, and adding alcohol would make the tour more expensive. A way to make travel cheaper, is to book direct with the operators who have to pay a 25% commission to Viator and similar platforms. Thanks a lot for taking the time to post this review, and for choosing us!
Excellent Tour

One of the Best Food Tours!
Maria_V, Jan 2024
We have done many food tours all over the world and this was one of the best! It's a small group (in our case, just my husband and one other person) and they amount of food included in this tour is A LOT so I would highly recommend coming to this very very hungry. They did a really nice job of not only tasting dishes, but also ingredients as well as including a lot of commentary and about the neighborhood as we were walking around. The visit also included a kitchen visit to watch the chef prepare one of our dishes in a wok as well as getting to observe the preparation of our ceviche. I highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
