5.00Had an exiting foodtour with Bruce. Interesting stories with lots of information on the history, customs and the food. A large part was out of the touristic center, showed us places where we as tourists usualy don’t come and eat as places we normally will not find! Loved it!
Incredible food tour!

5.00Gianella was a fantastic guide. She took us to little hole in the wall places to try Peruvian street food that we would never have found alone. Also she gave us a lot of interesting info on the different fruits and food while explaining how they fitted into the country’s culture. Would definitely recommend!

5.00Bruce was an incredible guide — knowledgeable, passionate, and full of energy. He took us through hidden corners of Lima that we never would’ve found on our own, introducing us to authentic local dishes, family-run stalls, and the fascinating stories behind each bite. His explanations of Peru’s food history and ingredients made everything come alive, and he created such a fun, easygoing atmosphere throughout the tour. The pacing was perfect, and we felt safe and cared for the entire time. From anticuchos to picarones, every stop was delicious and thoughtfully chosen. Bruce’s enthusiasm for Peruvian culture is infectious — it truly felt like exploring with a local friend who loves sharing his city. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima — it’s a must-do experience, and Bruce is the heart of it!
