Testimonials

  Wonderful full-day food tour

  Our Lima food tour with Exquisito Peru was unforgettable! Our guide, Ceci, was incredible, leading us through Miraflores, Barranco, and the Historic Center to uncover true culinary treasures. The food and experiences were exceptional, showcasing hidden gems we’d never have discovered on our own. Ceci’s passion and pride for Peruvian cuisine elevated the entire journey. A must-do for food lovers visiting Lima!

  Tasty exploration!

  Phenomenal! We savored a variety of delicious Peruvian ingredients, dishes, and desserts while learning about Lima’s rich history and nearby neighborhoods. Exploring community gems on foot was a highlight. Our guide, Marcos, was incredibly charismatic, friendly, and engaging, answering every question with authenticity and humor, making the hours fly by. Highly recommend for a complete city adventure!

Questions?

• 01 What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?
  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, 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 tour? Does it constitute a meal?
  Definitely! We recommend not eating anything else other than a light breakfast/lunch before the tour. In Barranco, we will have breakfast and lunch, and later on in the Historic Center, the food served shall replace dinner for most people.
• 03 Can you pick me up and drop me off from/at any location?
  Pick up and drop off is included in the price from/to any location in the Lima Metropolitan area. That being said, for LIM Airport or Callao cruise terminal pick ups/drop offs, please reach out before booking, as some details need to be checked prior to confirming your booking.
• 04 Do I have to book in advance?
  We recommend to book at least 2 weeks in advance to make sure it's not sold out, but we accept bookings up to 24 hours before the tour starts.
• 05 Is this food tour physically demanding?
  Between each food stops we walk between 3 to 15 minutes. A light 30-minutes walk takes place mid-tour in Barranco 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! That being said, this is a full-day and we do not recommend the tour to those who are not used to walk.
• 06 I’m a solo traveller. Can I book a food tour too?
  Unfortunately, this is a private tour and we need at least 2 people to operate this tour at the price advertised. If you are a solo traveler, please reach out and we will offer you a custom quote. It won't be cheap though!
• 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?
  It is! We would definitely recommend that you use a stroller for the walking portions to avoid children getting tired too fast. 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. 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. A minimum of 2 paying guests is required.
• 08 Can I book this full-day Lima tour as a private tour?
  Yes! Just contact us!
• 09 What if I don’t drink alcohol?
  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 tour?
  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?
  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 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?
  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?
  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?
  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.
• 15 Are pets allowed on the tour?
  While we absolutely adore pets and understand they’re part of the family, our tours are unfortunately not pet-friendly. This policy is in place to ensure the comfort, safety, and enjoyment of all guests, as well as to comply with venue and transportation restrictions. Not everyone is as open-minded as we'd all like, sadly!
