What people are saying about Lima

We first went to a little cal market where the guide,Jose told us about veggies and fruits of Peru while the chef Ruth shopped for the meal we had chosen. Then in the kids chen we prepared the food Ruth was in charge and she easily prepared everything with our help in chopping and storing. Then we created our appetizer of potatoes, quinoa and avocado. So tasty As was the pan fried sea bass with a Peruvian sauce. The best meal we had in Lima. And we learned so much about Peruvian culture along the way bOne of our best excursions ever.

We tried many different and typically Peruvian flavours (not guinea pig) and had alternative options if there was something we didn't like or want to have. In addition we learned about the history of Peru, Lima, and Barranco. The guide was very knowledgeable when we asked additional questions. It was very expensive, however, at least by Peruvian price standards.

Best experience I've ever had in my life, the guide is attentive, charismatic and funny! I strongly recommend it to everyone who is on vacation in Lima, a complete tour!

Rudy is an amazing guide with a wealth of information about each part of the tour. Make sure you do not eat breakfast as there is lots of food included!

It was great. Very interesting guide and very varied cuisine of Peru.
