    This 4-hour Lima food tour will allow you to discover the beautiful neighborhood of Barranco. Your guide will take you to a variety of places filled with locals, which will allow you to get a proper taste of Lima's most emblematic dishes and drinks.
    While strolling through the colored streets of Barranco, you will visit a mix of trendy and more traditional places. These will include an ample variety of tasty bites and drinks that are among Peru's most emblematic, and listed in most "to-taste" lists.
    Aside from discovering new flavors, another important component of this food tour is to discover the story, the cultural background, and the current context associated with each bite." Yummy" reactions are not enough for us, we also want to hear those "wow" and "oh fascinating" when telling you all about about organic coffee farming and ají de gallina.
    It's a walking food tour, with 3 to 8 mins of walking between each food stop, but to make this even more interesting and dynamic, we threw some urban art, sightseeing and live ceviche, lomo saltado and pisco sour demos into the mix with great local hosts. We aim to make this food tour truly memorable and Instagram-worthy.
    Throughout this food tour in Lima (Barranco), you will be accompanied by a specialized licensed tour guide, who will act as your new local best friend, ready to answer all your foodie questions and beyond. Don't hesitate to throw historical, cultural and political stuff into the ring, our guides are trained to face pretty much any battle.

Questions?

  • 01 What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?
    color/negro
    If you suffer any allergy o dietary restrictions, make sure to inform us in the checkout notes or via email once you completed your booking so we can take all the necessary precautions. This tour can cater for people with any allergy, including but not limited to gluten, lactose and soy. This food tour, including for those who book the Shared Group service, can be adapted for people on a vegetarian or vegan diet. While our goal is to be as inclusive as possible, we are unfortunately unable to offer halal and kosher alternatives at the moment due to the difficulty for some Peruvian restaurants to acquire and stock items with such characteristics.
  • 02 Do we eat a lot during this food tour? Does it constitute a meal?
    color/negro
    Definitely! We recommend not eating anything else other than a light breakfast/lunch before this food tour. The food included in this tour is proportional to a multi-courses meal.
  • 03 Can you pick me up and drop me off from/at any location?
    color/negro
    Pick up and drop off is not included in the Shared Group price, but it can be arranged at an extra cost from/to pretty much anywhere in the city. Of course price will vary depending on the distance and the type of vehicle you need for your party. If you want to be picked up or dropped off in your hotel, at LIM airport, the Callao cruise port, the historic center of Lima or a museum, please reach out to us and we will send you a quote in no time! For Private Tours, for LIM Airport or Callao cruise terminal, please reach out before booking, as extra details need to be checked.
  • 04 Do I have to book in advance?
    color/negro
    We recommend to book at least 1 week in advance to make sure it's not sold out, but we accept bookings up to 4 hours before the tour starts.
  • 05 Is this food tour physically demanding?
    color/negro
    Not at all! Between each stops there's a 3 to 8 minutes walk. A light 30-minutes walk takes place mid-tour for sightseeing purposes though. This longer walk traditionally include some stairs, but if your mobility is limited or if you are tired, just let our guide know – we will actually have a shorter alternative for you!
  • 06 I’m a solo traveller. Can I book a food tour too?
    color/negro
    We encourage it! This food tour will allow you to meet other travelers who are passionate about gastronomy. Do not be afraid to book, even if you are solo. We could have other reservations for that same day so you can share the experience with other foodies.
  • 07 Is this food tour family friendly? If I'm bringing an infant/very young child, do I need to purchase a ticket for them?
    color/negro
    If you are traveling with infants or children under 6, you would only be required to purchase a ticket and pay the "Under 18" rate if you'd like them to have access to their own food servings. If you prefer to share your food with your little ones and/or if you want them to eat the food you prepared for them before the tour, there is no need to purchase a ticket for them – they can participate for free. However, please let us know in the booking comments if non-paying children are going to be present so our guide knows and will be prepared for it.
  • 08 Can I book this food tour as a private tour?
    color/negro
    Absolutely! You can book a private food tour for your party as is (via the "Book Now" button), or you can customize this tour so it caters to your needs and expectations (reach out to us via email). We are used to design tailor-made experiences for small and big groups – back in 2019 we went up to 150 people at once!
  • 09 What if I don’t drink alcohol?
    color/negro
    If you do not drink alcohol, don’t worry! We will provide non-alcoholic drinks instead. Please make sure you add that information in the "Additional comments" section when finalizing your booking. No alcoholic beverages will be served to our guests under 18 years of age.
  • 10 What if I need to cancel this food tour?
    color/negro
    Up to 24h before the tour start time, you can cancel your booking for free. We will only withhold card processing fees, which vary between 3% and 7% depending on the card used (due to financial entity, currency and country rules).
  • 11 Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
    color/negro
    Unfortunately, this tour is only partially wheelchair accessible. Sadly, one stop in particular is only accessible through a staircase, and a small portion of the itinerary has shamefully narrow sidewalks. The good news is that we would still be able to offer you a tailor-made private food tour with an itinerary that would match about 90% of the standard tour. Reach out to us via email to make this possible.
  • 12 Do you offer any other tour?
    color/negro
    Yes, we have several food tours in the bank. Each of them offer a different perspective on Peruvian gastronomy. We like to think we have an option for all budgets and interests! Although we specialize in food tourism, if you'd like to visit a museum, or another area of Lima not covered by one of our tours, please do let us know – we will for sure be able to arrange something with the help of our trusted partners.
  • 13 Is Lima safe?
    color/negro
    Just like in any big city, you have to be careful with your belongings in crowded areas. Of course, Peru being a country with big inequalities showing off the latest smartphone or an expensive watch in the street could unfortunately make you a target for thieves. But if you keep a low profile, you should be more than fine!
  • 14 How likely am I to get sick?
    color/negro
    With our tour, extremely unlikely. All the stops are carefully vetted by our team and we run regular checks to make sure they maintain the same standards, both in terms of quality of the food as well as hygiene. Food poisoning is of course something that shouldn't be ignored in Peru, so we always recommend to eat or drink at places that were recommended by at least one local person, combined with positive online reviews.
