Peruvian tales
We had a lovely food trail and sightseeing experience with both our guides. They were very enthusiastic and made sure we both had a great time. Everything from pick up to drop went very smooth in Lima. Thank you team, We have had a lovely time at Sacred Valley, Cusco and Machu pichhu. We have enjoyed both the hotel and loved the Tambo Del Inka property. Our guide Alex took very good care of us and gave us very insightful information about all the places we visited. The picnic lunch and the lunch organised at the restaurant in Machu Pichhu Pueblo was outstanding. We have thoroughly enjoyed all the experiences planned by your team. Even the airport check in and pick ups have been on point. Thank you so much for making our Peru visit so memorable and fun. Leaving Peru with beautiful memories🙏

Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima?
+
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 Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Traditional Culinary & Gastronomy Roots of Lima 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.

+
