Pure local experience with tasty food .

Jay_K, Apr 2024

Gaby gave us a great local experience. We visited places only a local could find. The food was authentic and fresh.

Delicious taste of Peru

kdpetts, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful tour with Gaby. She shared so much of the culture. The fish market and food market showed us true Peruvian life and we had chance to share some great fruit and meals

Traffic, Food and Fun!

Sheila_L, Apr 2024

On Monday, April 1st, my mother and I embarked on the Lima Colors and Flavors walking tour, a delightful fusion of food and art. Despite starting off with a challenge as our hotel was far from the tourist hub of Miraflores, and battling through heavy traffic, we managed to connect with the tour company via WhatsApp to inform them of our delay. Thankfully, they graciously extended our wait time and had a guide ready for us upon arrival. Welcomed warmly by Ms. Aura and her colleague Mr. Carlo(?), our tardiness resulted in a more intimate tour group, which added to the charm of the experience. Ms. Aura, our knowledgeable guide, not only provided us with the day's itinerary but also shared fascinating historical insights as we traversed each destination. Despite the initial apprehension of engaging with strangers, Ms. Aura's amiable demeanor created a comfortable atmosphere. Her evident passion and deep understanding of Peru instilled a sense of pride in her work and country. Venturing off the beaten tourist path, we explored local haunts, indulged in authentic cuisine, and immersed ourselves in the vibrant culture and music of Lima. Be warned, the tour is a culinary feast, so wearing stretchy pants is advisable! I highly recommend this unique experience, especially if led by the exceptional Ms. Aura.

Excellent guide

Sandra_T, Apr 2024

Lori_H, Mar 2024

Gabby was an extraordinary guide! We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for experiences that can only happen by spending a half day with a friendly, knowledgeable, & sociable local. We would go on any other tour led by Gabby! Also, this tour group operator was very well organized; available in English & Spanish.

Gabby was excellent! She was friendly, answered all our questions, even did some shopping for fruits for us, and overall made us feel welcome in Lima. The food tour was great, and be ready to be stuffed. A great tour.

Best food & art tour ever!

Ciaretta_P, Feb 2024

The tour is just amazing! We have tried a rainbow of flavours of local fruits and food at various places such as Miraflores, Chorrillos and Barranco. Our guide, Cesar is super knowledgeable, funny, engaging and provides great tips to get around Lima. I would recommend all the food and culture lovers to join this tour. Go with a free and open mind when tasting and walking around the barrios in Lima!

Fan-tastic!

Rafael_B, Jan 2024

Enjoyed all of it, our tour guide, Aura, was charming and very knowledgeable. We can summarize the experience in two words: fan-tastic!

Delveen_D, Dec 2023

I loved this tour! Aura was so amazing and knowledgeable. I traveled solo during my time in Lima and this tour helped me reach different neighbourhoods, experience amazing food and feel safe doing so. I appreciated the hotel pick up and drop off - that was key! Very lovely tour with an authentic approach.

Wonderful Tour with Gaby!

Tina_T, Dec 2023

I spent the morning with Gaby and our driver was Alejandro. He was a safe and good driver. Gaby was very knowledgeable and felt like I was spending the morning with a friend. We had wonderful conversations and I learned much about the history and the local neighborhoods, the foods, the culture. It was a great experience and I’m glad I booked the tour. I am now happy and full. I have only a limited time in Lima and I’m so glad I booked this tour. Thank you again Gaby! It was such a pleasure meeting you!

Solo traveller - a must do!

Alana_B, Oct 2023

As a solo female travel, this was the perfect morning trip to get to know some of Limas food and art as well as neighbourhood. Gaby was a fantastic tour guide: she had so much knowledge and love for Peru. Juan was a wonderful driver. Could not have asked for a better trip!! Thank you

Amazing experience that highlights the history and culture of the different districts in Lima

Very well organized tour

Tuuli_P, Aug 2023

We were super happy with our guide Cesar and had the best couple of hours exploring places around Barranco! Private driver came to pick us up straight from our hostel and drove us back at the end. Emphasis on our tour was on food which was perfect for us :) And you get to eat a lot!

Not your usual food tour in a good way

Peter_L, Nov 2022

Interesting food and market tour that is off the beaten tourist path. Our guide Amadeo was very informative and friendly.

Exhilarated all the senses!

suzanne_r, Nov 2022

Aura met us at the hotel, it was just the two of us with her for the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects, from the fish market to the meat and vegetable stands, to the wonderful art in Barranco. Aura was very knowledgeable, never left us wondering what was happening or what was next, and answered all our questions with very, very good English! Highly recommend for foodies who enjoy art and history.
