Tips
Our Tips
- We recommend not eating anything else other than a light breakfast before this food tour. This tour constitutes a breakfast and an average-sized lunch with dessert. Your belly will enjoy it, we promise!
- If you suffer any allergy o dietary restrictions, make sure to inform us during checkout and we will take the necessary precautions. This tour can cater to people with any allergy, including but not limited to gluten, lactose, and soy. This tour can also be adapted for vegetarians and vegans. However, we are unfortunately not able to offer halal and kosher products.
- We recommend to book at least 1 week in advance to make sure it’s not sold out, but we accept bookings up to 6 hours before the tour starts. Also, if a date appears as sold out or blocked, please reach out to us – there’s likely something we can do for you (we will try for sure!)
- Traveling with a child under 6 or an infant? If they’re not going to directly participate, or if you prefer to share your food with your little one, there is no need to purchase an extra ticket. However, still, let us know if you’re going to bring a child under 6, so our guide knows and will be prepared for it.
- Just like in any big city, you have to be careful with your belongings in crowded areas. Of course, Peru being a country with big inequalities showing off the latest smartphone or an expensive watch in the street could, unfortunately, make you a target for thieves. But if you keep a low profile, you should be more than fine!
