Great walking tour and delicious and diverse food tasting!
Excellent response time from the company and Ceasar the owner arrived at the first stop of the tour to introduce himself and thank me for my business. I was the only one on the tour and Ceasar informed me that they never cancel even if there is only one person which I was very impressed with. Miguel was the tour guide. His English is excellent and he is very passionate about his city and his job. We rode the bus from Mireflores into the center of Lima and it was very fun. The stops on the tour included the local market and china town and the food was very diverse and all delicious! Miguel was such a gentleman and insisted on carrying a 40 pound box of school supplies he helped me purchase for a local community. I would highly recommend Miguel as a guide and the Travel Buddies Flavors & Tradition walking tour with Food tasting.

Do it
A fun way to enjoy some local food, drink, culture, and just get out to see Miraflores. We really enjoyed all the tastings and our time with Miguel. He was very friendly, well organized, and thoughtful. We appreciated having such a nice guide.

Wonderful time trying delicious food unique to Peru.
We had an amazing time learning about and tasting so many foods and drinks that are unique to Peru with our wonderful guide Miguel. The tour was in the centre of Lima, the old town, which is architecturally stunning. Miguel was very knowledgable about not only gastronomy but also the history of Lima; we learned so much from him and he was truly a delight. I highly recommend this tour for all the reasons noted above but also because we likely would not have eaten some of the unique and delicious food otherwise. Final comment - come hungry as you will be absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour.

Fabulous cultural intro to Lima!
I was very fortunate to be Jonathan’s guest for this four hour cultural and food sampling tour to downtown Lima. It was a fantastic experience using the Metopolitana bus system from Miraflores to downtown Lima and back. Jonathan pointed out places of interest and we journeyed to different local food eateries. It was an excellent way of trying Peruvian snacks, fruits and drink. Excellent demonstration and sampling of different Pisco drinks. Jonathan even followed up after the tour with links and pictures of things that we talked about on the tour. He molded my positive impression of Lima wishing I had more days to explore this wonderful city. Thanks for this experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your cultural and culinary tour with Jonathan. It sounds like he did an excellent job showcasing Lima's rich history, local cuisine, and iconic Pisco drinks while making sure you felt comfortable navigating the city using the Metropolitano bus system. We're glad the experience left you with such a positive impression of Lima, and we hope you'll have the chance to return and explore even more of this wonderful city in the future. Thanks for choosing us

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting 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 Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 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 Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting?
+
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 Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting?
+
Around 8 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 Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting 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 Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. 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.

Not included: Meals or personal expenses not mentioned; Tips; and Any entrance to Museum. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting?
+

What languages is Flavors & Tradition: Walking City Tour with Food Tasting offered in?
