Anne M2024-04-11Fantastic tour It was a great experience! Cesar, the guide, did a fantastic job. You could tell that he enjoyed his job. He spoke great English and explained things in a great and funny way! Huge praise and thanks to Cesar and of course to the driver Joel! Thank you!Verified
Jasper W2024-04-08Fantastic 1-day tour this was an amazing tour! Nataly was very fun and very knowledgeable about the history and the culture of different districts and took time to talk about the food etc. She also seamlessly explained things in both Spanish and English and it made the tour very worth it. Julio was an amazing driver and very courteous. I didn’t bring sunscreen though, and that was my mistake. I’m very red now.Verified

Sheila2024-04-05Traffic, Food and Fun! 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.Verified

Marisol G2024-03-31Quite a nice tour I had the incredible opportunity to take a food tour in Lima with guide Gaby, and it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. We started by exploring Chorrillos, where Gaby took me to authentic and delicious places that I would never have found on my own. The food was simply spectacular, every bite was full of fresh, authentic flavors that truly captured the culinary heart of Lima. Furthermore, the amount of food was generous and left me completely satisfied. But the experience didn't end there; After enjoying the delicacies of Chorrillos, we headed to Barranco to enjoy an ice cream, the perfect sweet culmination for a morning full of gastronomic adventures. The guide Gaby not only had a deep knowledge of local food, but was also delightful company which made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in authentic Lima cuisine and explore the charming neighborhoods of Chorrillos and Barranco. A truly unforgettable experience!VerifiedSusan R2024-03-26Peruvian cooking class A wonderful experience. I learned so much about Peruvian food. The chef and the interpreter were excellent. It was a wonderful facility and would do it again.Verified

nelfa c2024-03-23Amazing city walking tour with Gab! Our half day city walking tour in Lima, led by the exceptional guide-photographer Gab was an absolute delight from start to finish. Gab's wealth of knowledge about the city, combined with her friendly demeanor, made the experience truly unforgettable. Throughout the tour, Gab's passion for her country shone through, enhancing our appreciation for the rich history and culture of Lima. This tour is highly recommended!Verified
Richard Pollack2024-03-19Wonderful company, wonderful experience I arranged this this trip for a pick up at the Callao Port in the morning, then drop us off at the airport for our late departure back home. I can not recommend this company more highly. They were easy to communicate through email during booking and then WhatsApp before the pick up. We were met at the port by Natalie and the driver. She was there at the appointed time but was very patient while we had to wait for Peruvian customs to clear the ship. We met up with Leonardo and a small group for the tour in the historical district, then drove to the other locations (Miraflores, Market, Love Park, etc) The lunch was superb. Both Leonardo and Natalie were wonderful guides. Very informative, enthusiastic and responsive to everyone's needs. Our driver to the airport was excellent and deserves a medal for driving through Lima rush hour traffic and managed to get us there safely and with time to spare. It was a wonderful experience and would recommend this company to anyone in the future.
