Amazing experience
Our cooking class with Felipe was fantastic. He picked us up on time and then we drove to a local market. Felipe told us so many interesting things about the different fruits, vegetables and spices that you can find at the market. And he not only knows a lot about food, but also about Lima, Cusco and the history of Peru. After the market, we went to the cooking studio and had a great two and a half hours with delicious food, good drinks and nice conversations. We definitely recommend booking a cooking class with Felipe and his colleagues. He is such a nice and cool guy and you certainly won't regret it. It's also a great way to learn more about Peruvian cuisine and, of course, it's simply great fun :)
Response from the operator: Hi dear Ricarda! We always feel as happy as you when we get to know that you have enjoyed this tour! Thank you so much for taking the tour with us! Felipe feels great and grateful reading your comment! Thank you so much again and keep having great days!!

An amazing day!
Filipe was an amazing guide through the market. His depth of knowledge was truly impressive. Nindi, our chef, was not only a wonderful cook but conveyed her passion for the local cuisines. They both made us feel welcome and encouraged our questions and participation. I highly recommend this experience and would encourage anyone seeking a local market and cooking tour/experience to seek out Felipe and Nindi specifically. They made the day very special for us.
Response from the operator: Hi dear Fred! We always feel as happy as you when we get to know that you have enjoyed this tour! Thank you so much for taking the tour with us! Felipe and Nindi feel great and grateful reading your comment! Thank you so much again and keep having great days!!

The best market tour and cooking class in Lima!!
This tour was outstanding. We were a bit concerned bc of the lack of reviews but went ahead with booking. Felipe and Danilo picked us up at our hotel on time and took us to Mercado 1, where Felipe showed us the bounty of fruits, vegetables and meats that are from Peru. Felipe’s english is terrific and his pride in his country is infectious. After the tour we went back to Chef Nindi’s apartment where we learned how to make a few salsa’s, ceviche and a stir fry. The experience was amazing and delicious (we didn’t eat dinner that night bc there was so much food!). The apartment is quite close to two artisan markets and not far from Kennedy Square. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop off but we chose to walk back to our hotel - safe area, nice walk!
Response from the operator: Hi dear Tricia! We always feel as happy as you when we get to know that you have enjoyed this tour! Thank you so much for taking the tour with us! Felipe, Danilo and Nindi feel great and grateful reading your comment! Thank you so much again and keep having great days!!

Amazing.
It was an amazing experience. From the moment we made the reservation, the treatment was friendly and attentive. They looked for us at the hotel and took us to the place of the course, the chef was teaching us the recipes and "secrets" for the preparation of ceviche, pisco sour, chicha purple, chicano and accompaniments. In addition, Francis also gave us general details of Peru such as some of its traditions, emblematic places to visit, origins of recipes and many valuable details to make the afternoon enjoyable. At the end of the preparations, we managed to taste each of the dishes... By the way, they were delicious.
Response from the operator: Hola! ¡Siempre nos sentimos tan felices como usted cuando sabemos que ha disfrutado este recorrido! ¡Muchas gracias por realizar el recorrido con nosotros! Francisco y toda la familia de Peruvian Star Travel se sienten muy bien y agradecidos al leer tu comentario! ¡¡Muchas gracias de nuevo y sigan teniendo días geniales!!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.
Is Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best Rated Cooking Class + Local Market Facing Ocean start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset, Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Full Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima: Sunset Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
