Lima food tour: Taste 12 snacks and visit monumentsA 4.5-hour walking tour of Lima combines snack tasting at local markets and neighborhoods with visits to the Main Square, Presidential Palace, Cathedral and the Catacombs of San Francisco Church, led by a certified guide in English or Spanish. The route includes 12 included snacks — ceviche, anticuchos, papa rellena, picarones and others — sampled as you move through Barrios Altos, Chinatown and the Central Market. The tour ends with free time at Plaza San Martín; a Pisco Sour at Lima's most famous bar is optional and separate. All travelers must carry a valid passport or official Peru entry document; infants sit on an adult's lap; the route involves stairs and narrow passages in the catacombs, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're traveling in a small group and want to eat the way Limeños do — moving through actual markets and neighborhoods instead of a restaurant — while still seeing the colonial monuments that anchor the city's center. The split between food and history means you're not choosing between one or the other.
