Lima Tasty Tours - Lima Food Tours

We searched a few food tour companies but chose Lima Tasty Tours based on their itinerary and reviews. It was worth the initial time spent looking for a company as Arturo our guide was excellent. We initially went to a covered market in the local part of Barranco, Arturo knew a lot of the people in the market and was very informative about the foods, Peru and we interacted with some of the vendors. We has a super chat with a 69 year old lady with a stall her family owned and she had been working on since she was young. Peruvians buy pre prepared small plastic bags of stuff to make dinner. We then did a walk in the neighbourhood to visit street vendors and another small market trying things on our way, inc, Inca Cola! Lol. We took a tuk tuk a small way to get to the market faster, was fun. The tour was just over 3 hours but it whizzed by, a definite recommend if you want to try local cuisine, interact with locals and learn about Peru, and its food.

Fantastico! We did the Lima Just For Foodies 3 hour tour. We took a tuk tuk to a very local market in the residential part of Barranco that we never would have discovered on our own. Inside, we tried so many Peruvian specialties like causa, chilcano, and chaufa. We washed them down with the likes of chicha morada and Inca Cola! In between each food, we walked around and learned about different aspects of the market, chatted with friendly vendors, and sampled various exotic fruits and veggies. We also tried a few classic Peruvian desserts before leaving the market and walking around the neighborhood, trying street food along the way and ducking into smaller super local markets for more sampling of fresh fruits, olives, and other treats. Arturo was friendly, passionate, knowledgeable, and lots of fun to hang out with. He felt like an old friend by the end and we were sad to say goodbye! I highly recommend this tour for a slice of everyday Peruvian life and food.

We had an amazing time. This was more than just a food tour. We learned so much about the Peruvian culture and history. Arturo was very nice with great sense of humor. Highly highly recommend it, especially if you are into experiencing true authentic aspects of Peruvian life.

We joined the Foodie Tour with José and can highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lima! The tour was the perfect introduction to Peru – we got to try a wide variety of local dishes, fruits, and vegetables, all while learning so much about the country, its culture, and its people. We were absolutely thrilled with the experience and more than full by the end! So come hungry – there will be a lot of delicious food!

We had an amazing time on our tour. Arturo took us to the market so we could see all the interesting and tasty produce available in Peru. We tried lots of different food, learnt about the origins and culture around each dish. After the market we set off to Downtown Lima learning more about the history of Lima and trying lots of street food and little hole in the wall places. Arturo was an excellent guide and super informative The tour totally above our expectations. 100% recommend doing it.

We had the most wonderful tour with Arturo! After 3 wonderful hours we left with full bellies, well informed about the history of Peru and amazed by the food we tasted. If you love food, this is the tour for you, loved every minute of it, thank you Arturo!!

This was an Amazing experience. You have to eat and shop like a local imo to experience the true city and Lima is the city for foodies! Arturo is very very well versed and everything we saw and tried was 100/10!

If you're looking for an authentic, local experience of world-famous Peruvian food truly immersed in the historical city of Lima that piques all the senses (with an exceptionally knowledgeable, delight-to-be-around guide!), look no further. The Lima Market tour with Arturo went above and beyond my expectations, and I feel that my trip to Peru would have been incomplete without it. Not only was everything I tasted during that market tour and at lunch absolutely out-of-this-world, but Arturo's stories and explanations really gave me a sense of the rich contemporary and historical Peruvian culture itself, through the lens of its food products and cuisine. Arturo's expertise, his care for his clients, and his passion for food and sharing knowledge is exceptional. And we had many good laughs, as he's got a great sense of humor! In short, infinite stars for Lima Tasty Tours on multiple levels. Already, looking forward to joining another tour with you again!
