“The Lima For Foodies tour was a great kick-off to our Peruvian adventure. We had the amazing pleasure of hanging out with Arturo who was not only personable but funny and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Peru's history. His passion for the story behind the cultural scene made the tasting experience even more meaningful. We tried a variety of fruits/veggies, a total of four traditional dishes, and learned A LOT about staple food items in Peru. I loved that we stepped out of the tourist section and actually walked the streets of Barranco as real members of the community. Arturo was so attentive and went out of his way to ensure we…”
