Not worth the money
Food portion very small: first stop was 2 skewers for 4 people where each skewer has 3 pieces of meat, second stop 4 pieces of chocolates for 4 people- not much of a tasting if each of us can only try one flavor. Had to pay 3 sols for almond milk instead of regular milk in hot chocolate, for an $80 per person tour, which is unbelievable. Tour guide is nice but has no deep knowledge of Peruvian cuisine - didn’t learn anything I don’t already know. Not worth the money.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your perspective, Yin. We thoughtfully curate our tours to showcase a variety of the local food scene, with tastings spaced throughout the tour so guests can enjoy several different flavors without becoming too full midway through the experience. At the same time, we appreciate your feedback on the portions, as personal tastes and appetites can vary, and this perspective is useful as we continue to refine how we deliver the experience. We’re also glad to hear that you found your guide hospitable. We acknowledge that every guest has different interests and expectations, and we equally value your perspective as we continue refining the experience and sharing the richness of the city’s food culture. We would be happy to welcome you back on a future visit and give you another opportunity to experience one of our tours. We hope we can provide an experience that better matches what you are looking for.

Great experience
Allandra led an amazing tour. Her English was perfect, she was friendly and informative. She did a great job of teaching how food is part of the Peru culture and history
Response from the operator: Thank you, Felicia! Weaving Peru's food and history together into one tour is exactly what we hope guests take away from Lima. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.

Perfect introduction to Lima
We did this on our first day in Lima and what a good decision this was. We were taken to some gems of places that we would not have found ourselves. The food was fantastic and we were very full by the end of it. Our guide Alondra was very knowledgeable and had a lot of great tips. We now have a number of places and dishes we need to try out in Lima over our remaining time here. Thanks for giving us a great welcoming experience for Lima.
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure to have you with us. Your review reflects exactly the kind of day Secret Food Tours aims to provide for every guest. We look forward to seeing you again!

Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco cost?
+
Prices start at $81 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 Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 132 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 Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco?
+
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 Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco?
+
Around 46 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lima Authentic Food Tour of 5 Tastings with Ceviche in Barranco 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.
