This was our first time in Lima, and being from South America we already knew peruvian food, but we felt it'd be a good start for our trip if we took an introductory tour.
Didn't really know exactly what to expect when it came to the tour itself, but we were more than pleased with the whole experience.
Arturo (our guide) was very punctual, and an absolute delight to tour with. He spoke portuguese very well and language was far from being a barrier to us. He was not only a great tour guide, with a lot of information and insights, but also an overall great company, and very nice guy to have around.
The tour itself was super fun and a very comprehensive take on Lima and Peru. The tuk-tuk is an every-day mean of transportation for the people in Lima, and it felt like a very authentic experience to roll around through Chorrillos in one.
The food was amazing, the restaurant we were taken to - again - felt very authentic and we could see absolutely no tourists around. We had causa, ceviche and a serve of makis covered in rocoto that were to die for. All of that accompanied by a jar of very nice (the best we had in Lima) Chicha Morada.
I tried very hard to think of any criticism or improvement points, but failed to do so. This is a must do while in Lima.
Helpful tips: the meal was very generous, so have a light breakfast on the day of the tour.
Remember to bring water so you don't have to stop to get it, the tour is long.
Bring some money for tips, there's a chance you'll find the Fraile taking his leap, and that guys deserves some money.
Be generous when tiping! It's a hell of a work done by the tour guides, they deserve it!
