We really enjoyed the afternoon at the markets. Our guide was kind and willing to answer all of our questions. The food we tasted was great and he was so patient with my need to take photos of EVERYTHING (I’m a photographer). I would suggest bringing a bottle of water. We did not and we really regretted it. Also, you need small denominations of cash if you are wanting to purchase water or anything at the market.

The tour with Will and José was great. We were picked up directly at the hotel and had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the life of the people in Lima. The three markets really impressed us. The dishes were tasty and local. Throughout the tour we were driven from market to market by car. A great experience that we can 100% recommend.

Was picked up at the hotel. We visited 3 markets, got to taste a lot of exciting food. Both from the Amazon, from the coast and inland. Learned a lot about Peru and the food culture. Pamela was a wonderfully good guide, who took good care of us. Can really be recommended!
