Great food and fun experience!
Tried many different foods, portions were plenty and even made our own ceviche at the end! The food was good and the guide explained plenty (in good English) about the origins of food and local traditions.

Lima food tour was the best
True Peruvian food experience in the hart of Lima! Our guide took care of us the entire trip and made us feel secure. We tasted a variety of dishes and he explained everything to us about the preparation and experience of eating it. We topped of the night making ceviche

Best food tour in Lima
Josué was an amazing tour guide and we had an excellent time on the tour. The food he gave us was incredible and the knowledge he had about the food and history in Lima made the experience. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing food tour, thankyou Josué
This was my highlight of Peru so far! Not only was the food amazing, we will be searching for chicken that tasted that amazing for the rest of our trip, but our guide Josué also gave us the history and cultural relevance of each food or drink which we tried, which made the experience so much better!! There was even a ceviche making class towards the end of the experience. I would highly recommend this to any traveller!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lima Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken 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 Lima Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken 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 Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 12 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 Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken?
+
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 Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken 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 Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken?
+
Around 4 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 Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken 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.
What is included in Lima Food Tour with Ceviche, Pisco, and Grilled Chicken?

+
