Next, participate in a hands-on cooking course at a professional kitchen. Learn to make traditional Peruvian dishes like Lomo Saltado (grilled steak), Ceviche (fresh, citrus-cured fish), and Pisco Sour (Peru's national cocktail). After you've finished preparing everything, sit down and enjoy your meal with new friends.

In November 2019 I had a tour with Julio, and now I can say that it was my best sightseeing tour in the year. Julio is a nice guide/buddy, and this tour is very well organized. Julio picked me up by calling me to my room at the hotel front desk exactly at 9:00AM. During the tour we saw many places of Lima, including the local market, the historic center, Parque de la Muralla and Barranco District. Julio knows every aspect of Lima transportation system, so we were able to move between important places quickly and without traffic jams. The tour took 4 hours, and they were action-packed hours. You won't be able to finish early and in fact you will be a little exhausted after the tour. I recommend that you take this particular sightseeing tour and another tour outside of Lima. While this is a good tour, there is a lot places you need to see outside of Lima in Peru.

It was lots of fun. We had one day left in Lima and decided to come here based on a recommendation by our hotel. The most delicious activity after our entire Peru trip, because it was relaxed and we did not have to get up early. The group was small and there was plenty of chocolate for everyone. I would not pinpoint it as a must do in case you have not much time available, but in case you have one day free, go for it ;)

After the travel quarantine went into effect, tour options in Puno disappeared. Thanks to Maria at Pacha Expeditions, I was able to enjoy a private, custom tour to La Isla de Uros. With a private boat taxi, we toured the Rio Wily and stopped at various islands learning about the native Aymara culture that exists on these islands. Maria and boat driver, Joel, both provided excellent guide services and a wealth of information on the local people. I would highly recommend the services of Maria and Pacha Expeditions for anyone interested in exploring Aymara culture in the Puno and the local Altiplano area.????

This was a great way to explore the city and taste the most authentic Peruvian food at the same time. Because of the current Covid restrictions in Lima, we couldn’t quite do the night tour, but Emilie was kind enough to put together a few of their other experiences into one great trip. My guide Ximena was great! The food was amazing, definitely a great experience

The tour was perfectly organized. The pick up was right on time and the vehicle was very comfortable. We visited 3 different markets and the tour guide Jonathan was very well informed. His spoken English is on a very good level so on top of a lovely day with delicious food I also learned a lot :) He was also very flexible so I booked directly after the first tour a visit to the Larco Museum. Thank you Jonathan!

Antinio took us on a great walking tour. He picked us up and took us on public transit downtown to visit historic sites and the public market for a delicious fruit tasting. It was cool to see the normal daily life of people living in Lima. The tour lasted for several hours, and included transportation and entrance into several places. His English was quite good, and he was entertaining and informative. Excellent value for an excellent tour!

We had a great walking tour with Carlos! We wanted to learn more about the history of Lima, and he was very knowledgeable, pointing out architectural details we would otherwise have missed. And he was considerate, too\u2014we were late getting to our appointment due to a travel mix-up, but he was waiting for us and there was no stress involved. Highly recommended!
