Nice tour
Pretty good intro to Lima and peruvian food

Not good for Muslims
Food tour was pretty mid. I told them ahead of time I couldn’t eat pork or alcohol because I’m Muslim, but they didn’t accommodate. Instead the tour guide actually ate the pork items himself.
Response from the operator: Hello Nabila, thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our food tour follows a specific tasting itinerary featuring traditional Peruvian foods. The foods and snacks included are shown in the experience description before booking, so guests can review in advance what will be served, including items that may contain pork. Regarding alcohol, our food tour does not include alcoholic beverages, so this is not part of the experience provided.

Top tour
We had a great time on the tour with a friendly group and great guide Yoced, he also took us on our own on the city tour after and we spoke like friends the whole time. He was very passionate about what he was talking about and we went to a lot of places for food you’d probably walk past and not notice if you were just strolling alone. Highly recommend

Fun afternoon with unique food
Really fun way to get to know Peruvian food, particularly the “everyday” foods and their origins. Josef was a great guide, with lots of helpful visuals and knowledge. His little jokes made for a light, personal vibe. Highly recommend!

Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 569 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks?
+
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 Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks?
+
Around 199 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food Tour and Market Experience: 12 Peruvian Snacks 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.
