5.00I booked this tour very last minute on my solo trip to Lima, and was super thankful Chef Alejandro was available. This was by far my most favorite experience in Lima. Chef Alejandro is extremely knowledgeable in all things Peruvian cuisine, and would explain anything and everything you had questions on. If you don’t know where to start on your Peruvian food tours, I would 10/10 recommend this experience.
Outstanding Peruvian culinary experience!

5.00Absolutely loved this experience! With a few days to spare in Lima before heading to Cusco, we decided to explore the local culinary scene with a food tour in Miraflores. We reached out to Alejandro, the chef and owner, and were thrilled when he personally picked us up from our hotel. The tour itself was exceptional, and the food was simply phenomenal. What made it even more special was Alejandro’s extensive culinary background, having honed his skills in both Peru and the US. This tour is a must-do for any food enthusiast visiting Lima!
Good experience

He made for great conversation and we had a wonderful time sampling a wide variety of exotic fruits, drinks and local cuisine, including smoothies made fresh at the fruit market, native coffee and authentic Peruvian dishes and desserts.

5.00It was very special. Walking around Miraflores with Alejandro makes us feel very confortable, just like locals. The food was delicious and everything on time. In the local market he was so funny with the "caseritas" is how they call the fruit market seller. We were amazed about how many delicious fruits and vegetables you can find. Being with a executive cheff like Alejandro around Miraflores street with his carisma and knowledge was the best part. Totally recommended.
