“The flexibility for allergies, the interaction with all the participants, very clean location and materials.”
Review of Cusco’s 3.5-hour city tour, from San Pedro Market and Qorikancha to the Cathedral, with practical tips on price and pacing.
“Most of this tour was spent bumping around in Cusco traffic. We went to another hotel on the other side of town presumably to pick up other passengers - they were presumably no shows but there was no explanation. After a brief tour of the markets we navigated back to the same hotel to pick up a couple who by now were presumably an hour late in a 3 hour tour - again no explanations or apologies or introductions. More traffic - a few stops and ended up back within 50 meters of our hotel to start the walking component. At no stage did the guide outline the itinerary or…”
Explore Surquillo Market, taste 35 Peruvian fruits, and cook a four-course meal with a Pisco Sour in this hands-on Lima class.
“Delicious and amazing! The market tour is great. Really fun to try all the different fruit and potatoes that Peru has to offer. They prepare small portions of each so you don't entirely fill up before you start the cooking portion of the class. The food was surprisingly simple to cook, but when you have an amazing staff it all seems to go so smoothly, right? Highly recommend this experience, great way to learn about local dishes.”
Explore Iquitos’ Belén Market and floating neighborhood with local guide Marlon Ashanga, including tastings, a motokar ride, and a boat trip.
“The trip was very interesting. We learned a lot about the local people. I definitely recommend this trip, because without it the stay in Iquoitos would be incomplete.”
Explore Surquillo Market, taste Peruvian produce, then make causa and ceviche with local guides in a small Lima cooking class.
“Great experience with Dasha at the market. She really knew her fruits and was very nice. Arriving at the cooking school we were served drinks and tried fruits from the market as she explained each one. After we made step by step each dish guided by local chef Camila Don’t miss this activity next time you are in Lima.”
Cook Peruvian dishes with former Maido chef Hector Aguilar, make Pisco Sours, visit Huaca Pucllana, and enjoy a private meal in Lima.
“Hector is absolutely awesome. We have had the best day today trying lots of Peruvian food and Pisco sours. Hector has lots of anecdotes about his previous time in Australia, and around the world. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. Be sure to follow the directions and you will find the cooking school pretty easily.”
Explore San Pedro Market, then cook vegan ceviche, causa, tamales, and two pisco cocktails in a small Cusco class.
“My husband and I had a blast in our cooking class with Chef Jorge! We enjoyed the market tour, sampling and learning about various local foods like different varieties of passion fruit and a traditional Peruvian bread. For the cooking portion of class, we really enjoyed making the drinks (pisco sour and chicha morada), as well as the three courses (ceviche, tamales, and causa). We are both vegan and appreciated that the menu could be accommodated for us. There was so much food that we unfortunately were too full to eat dessert, but we were able to take it to go and thoroughly enjoyed it later. Everything was delicious, and…”
