Great food tour in Lima - My husband and I did the food tour with Bruce. He was an awesome tour guide and took us to eat lots of authentic and delicious food around the centro histórico. We ate papas rellenas, arroz con pollo, ceviche, anticuchos de corazón, arroz con leche and some passion fruit juice. Everything was amazing and would highly recommend doing it!

The best experience ever! - Simply one of the best experiences we've ever had. My boyfriend and I took the street food tour in Lima with Bruce. It was a day full of food, laughter, and culture. We tried authentic Peruvian dishes and left wanting to go back soon. Bruce was an extremely attentive guide. If you like trying new things and learning about the place at the same time, you need to take this tour. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to see everything about the trip: @passaporteculinario__

Fantastic! - You cannot miss this tour while in Lima - the best way to know local restaurants, food markets and hidden gems!
We tried food we never would have found if it weren’t for Bruce, and to a fantastic price as well. Best ceviche I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend it enough! We will be back.

Highly Recommended!! - Surprisingly the group food tour became a private tour as we were only ones for the day!! Our guide Bruce is exceptionally a wonderful person i would say. At the start of the tour he asked our interest in food and based on it he made sure the various flavours and recipes of Peruvian food were customised to our interest. I would definitely recommend to book this tour with Bruce who are looking for a food tour in Lima.

Authentic local Peruvian food and experience - One of the best walking tours I had taken during my trip! Bruce takes you to the less touristy areas of Lima to try authentic local Peruvian dishes and all of them were a hit! It was so much fun trying different dishes and also learning about their origins. He even went the extra mile in recommending other types of food I wanted to try in Peru and even brought us there! Definitely recommend taking this tour if you are in Lima :)

Essential tour to get to know real Lima - The food tour was an unforgettable experience for me and my friend! Since we did it I feel so familiar with the Peruvian kitchen and culture.
I can also highly recommend the experienced and very friendly guide who told us interesting stories behind the dishes we were offered to try. Also, he was able to answer pretty much any question about Peru.
The food was tasty and I tried a lot of new things which were all eatable so there's nothing to worry about.
So don't miss the opportunity to get to know Peru better!
