The 15 Best Food Tours & Tastings in Peru

15 reviewed

Ceviche cured in the time it takes to reach your table, anticuchos off a street grill, and a pisco sour with the egg white whipped rather than shaken. These are the food experiences worth an evening: market walks through Surquillo and San Pedro, the tasting routes around Barranco, and the classes that leave you able to make the sauce at home.

Make Cusco truffles from scratch in 90 minutes at Limbus restobar, with expert tips, hot chocolate, and 20 take-home treats.

“I cannot recommend this class, as I never had the chance to attend. My rating is based on the poor handling of the booking. I arrived on time at the designated location, unaware the class had been cancelled until the hostess contacted the company. David then informed me it was cancelled as I was the only person to sign up. While I understand cancellations happen—I had two others recently, both promptly communicated via email, phone, and app updates—this company failed to notify me in advance. He informed there was an attempt to contact me by phone however my records do not reflect it. Also why not also send email notice…”
