Tour description

* Check our historical city tour here: https://www.guruwalk.com/shlink/BGBNc

Read all the description please.

This is far beyond than just a food tour. This is a joyfull and harmonizer sociological experience. Just show up, pick up your spork and attack our peruvian delicacies which have been carefully selected for you.

Let's inmerse into the commercial, crowdy, chaotic, noisy and over-whelming streets around Central Market, China Town and it's surroundings. This foodie experience is nurtured with a great storyline guiding structure of topics with a historical background that explain a lot of problems of our society.

And guess what? You will support local vendors and get to know the real Peru, and improve your understanding about what peruvians do in order to survive in this city of insanity.

Too good to be true? Take a glance to our long and passionate reviews on GuruWalk!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Bruce introduced us to food and fruits we would have never found on our own. He was fun and informative. He went out of his way to help us get a cab after the tour (our Uber never turned up) and followed up to make sure we got back to our hotel safe. I recommend this tour to all foodies…there’s no better way to get to know a city and its culture than through its cuisine.

Beyond the tourist spots, Bruce brought us to the real stuff. We tried food in hidden place, I never would have found myself. The tastes were amazing. Best ceviche ever (much better, than the one of the Netflix streetfood series). Bruce explained a lot about the food and also social problems. Highly recommended tour!

This is a fantastic way to see the ‘real’ Lima and taste some great street food. We were treated to a wide range of local street cuisine. Bruce was energetic and informative. Highly recommended.
