Embark on a 4 hour-long walking food journey with our Lima Historic Center's Street Food Night Tour! Meet with your guide and your fellow foodies at the entrance of the Hotel Bolivar, in Plaza San Martin. During this culinary experience, you will have the chance to taste popular on-the-go delicacies that locals devour when the night comes. While trying some tasteful local delicacies, you’ll be learning more about Peru's history and interesting facts around the local – informal – economy and daily life in Peru. Then, you’ll head up to the historic center of Lima. Discover most impressive and architectural masterpieces Lima owns, an heritage left by the Spanish conquistadors.

For a small portion of the tour, and at your discretion, your guide will suggest and invite you to try a few of the best street food options, from popular desserts to salty dishes. As you can see in the menu below, the dishes listed with an asterisk* are optionals and are sold by street vendors and their carretillas. Prepare a 20 soles ($6) budget for this section of the tour.

Although it’s very likely that you will have the chance to taste everything listed below, please note that it’s possible that the menu might slightly changes depending on seasonality and product availability. But don’t worry, you won’t feel hungry at the end of this Lima's historic center food tour ;)

FAQ

• Why isn't the cost of one stop included in the tour price?

  The informal economy in Peru is everywhere. For a legally registered company such as Exquisito Perú, expenses have to be accompanied with a receipt, which is unfortunately not always possible. In order to give you the full street food experience, we decided it would be better to reduce the tour price and suggest you to take a small amount of money with you so that you can fully enjoy your time.

• What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

  If you suffer any allergy or dietary restrictions, make sure to inform us during the check-in and we will take the necessary precautions and make our best to accommodate you.

• There are alcoholic beverages served on the tour. And what if I don’t drink alcohol?

  You're right, there are alcoholic beverages served on this tour. However, if you do not drink alcohol, don’t worry we will provide a non-alcoholic drink instead. Of course, no alcoholic beverages will be served to our guests under 18 years of age.

• I’m a solo traveller. Can I book a tour too?

  Yes, you can! Taking part in our tour, you’ll get the chance to meet other traveller foodies.

• Is this tour family friendly? If I am bringing an infant/very young child, do I need to purchase a ticket for them?

  Travelling with a child under 6 or an infant? If they’re not going to participate in the tasting, there is no need to buy a tour for them. However, still let us know if you’re going to bring a child under 6, so our guide knows and will be prepared for it.
