12/10! Paola taught me so much about the food and the culture. The tour included many hidden gems and great chefs in small, intimate spots. It was truly a highlight of my Peru trip.
The experience was great. Paola was amazing and gave so much history. She made it interesting and fun. The food was delicious. She kept us to a schedule but also let us enjoy the places we liked more.
It was amazing wonderful price and so much fun. Definitely recommended Paola she gave a lot of background and was so much fun!
Marcos is THE BEST GUIDE! I was the only person on my tour and he kept me engaged and interested the entire 4 hours. I LOVED every place went: Luna Nueva, Tienda Exquisito Peru, Pejerrey Point, Nuna, Jade Rivera, Gula and BLU. The food was FABULOUS! The gallery was GOOSEBUMPS producing. Everyone was so friendly. Marcos was the highlight of the tour. His knowledge was neverending. I’d go on the tour again tomorrow.
Loved our guide aura , made the night fun and she was knowledgeable.
Aura made sure we have had a really great time! The food was very good!
The experience was absolutely amazing. All the restaurant were great and I really enjoyed seeing how some of dishes were prepared as well as learning about their history. I think it was really worth the admission fee. There was never really a dull moment so I didn’t feel the time pass much. There was just 4 of us in the group so it felt intimate and could really enjoy connecting with our guide Paola as well as the different chef and restaurant staff that we met. I think this experience is probably best for foodies and history lovers bc you really learn so much about both! This was super great, I would definitely do it again!!!!
Paolo was a fantastic guide! We learned about the Barranco district and ate a lot of wonderful food
All of the food was amazing! Paola did a great job explaining the history behind the food. I really like the sheer variety of fruits, snacks, and dishes we tried. It was also a treat to hear the restaurant staff explain the preparation of the dishes and drinks we tried. You can tell they were all very passionate about their work. Definitely would recommend
Just had the most amazing afternoon with Paola, walking, learning history, seeing art, laughing and eating the most fantastic food! Would recommend this tour 100%!
