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. As they are informal, as a business, we can't buy from them directly. 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 do I have to pay extra for a tour section if the activity is already paying?

  The informal economy in Peru is everywhere. For a legally registered company such as Exquisito Perú, it is impossible to make expenses without proving where they come from. In order not to deprive you in the discovery of the street food in Lima, we agreed that it was better to reduce the price of the activity and to advise you to take a small amount of money with you so that you can enjoy the best street food at your choice.

• What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

  Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the resources to cater our experiences to vegetarians, vegans or people with religious diet restrictions. However, if you suffer any allergy, make sure to inform us during checkout and we will take the necessary precautions.

• 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 to our tour, you’ll get the chance to meet other traveler foodies. True, we need a minimum of two people to organize the tour, but don’t be afraid to book even if you’re alone, we might have other booking for that same day, or if it’s really not possible, we will try to switch you over to another time if it’s ok for you. If not, we will fully reimburse you and hope you’ll be back to Lima soon!

• 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 an child under 6, so our guide knows and will be prepare for it.
