5.00This tour is a really great way to visit a few neighborhoods near central Lima while tasting some street food that you might have otherwise passed by. Our guide, Nicole, was fun and knowledgeable. This was definitely a great introduction to many of the foods that Lima locals enjoy every day.

5.00Loved the tour! It is so much more than exploring the culinary heritage. Augusto is super passionate about Peru, its heritage, and is a wealth of knowledge. He showed us in 3 hours more than we could possibly do on our own, including the main square, the catacombs under the convent, the train station, and of course the street food tour.
