"Our family had a great time with Choji as he showed us some hidden gems in the Centro Historico we never would have found on our own. Choji is so well known in this neighborhood, it's like he's the unofficial mayor. Because of those relationships he was able to take us deep into the markets, giving us the history of the families that run the food stalls and a better understanding of the role each dish plays in Peruvian culture. We couldn't have asked for a better host or more fun packed into in three hours of eating and exploring. "
"Choji was interesting, entertaining and was understanding and flexible when our delayed flight affected the timing of our Barranco tour. Highly recommend."
"Ivonne was fantastic. I spent 4 hours with her and we walked all over town. I learned so much about the history of Peru through the food. What made the tour great was that she is so knowledgeable of not only Peruvian history but the current state of the country and international relationships. We had many deep conversations and I learned a lot. I did the tour by myself so I had the chance to ask all of the questions. Very cool experience and I would highly recommend her"
"I could not wish for better guide. It is going extra mile and extra time which is so very rare in current times. Thanks very much for the experience . I could certainly recommend to a friend.

"We had an awesome time with Choji! He is knowledgeable and passionate about the city, and we tried a wide variety of foods. He wanted us to experience the authentic culture of small restaurants and bars, Chinatown and food stands. It also seems like he knows everyone in town, as he's shaking hands and greeting so many people along the way. We got to try so many different foods and drinks; we really got our money's worth! Beyond the tour itself, Choji stayed in touch with us later in the trip when we reached out for more recommendations, which was truly above and beyond. We loved it!"
"Ivonne was very knowledgeable and she took us to a lot of places in the old city of Lima. She was able to answer all our questions. She was friendly and was very flexible with our needs. She even recommended good places for food and souvenirs. Definitely recommend Ivonne "
"Choji took us places that we never would have found on our own. We were able to taste the food from many down-to-earth Lima restaurants. Some restaurants had been there since the 1960s but also very small, locally run establishments. Most importantly, all the food delicious! Muy Rico!"
