Not good for Muslims
Nabila_Q, October 2026
Food tour was pretty mid. I told them ahead of time I couldn’t eat pork or alcohol because I’m Muslim, but they didn’t accommodate. Instead the tour guide actually ate the pork items himself.

Top tour
daddycoz1984, October 2026
We had a great time on the tour with a friendly group and great guide Yoced, he also took us on our own on the city tour after and we spoke like friends the whole time. He was very passionate about what he was talking about and we went to a lot of places for food you’d probably walk past and not notice if you were just strolling alone. Highly recommend

Fun afternoon with unique food
R1730DScassieb, September 2026
Really fun way to get to know Peruvian food, particularly the “everyday” foods and their origins. Josef was a great guide, with lots of helpful visuals and knowledge. His little jokes made for a light, personal vibe. Highly recommend!
