Customer Reviews
Sheyla was amazing. My wife and I have taking tours in several major cities around the world, and she has been the highlight of all of our food tours. She is a gem. She is wonderful and you are lucky to have her as an employee. She was better than the food and the food was fabulous.
This walking food tour in Barranco was a highlight of our time in Lima, and Sheyla was phenomenal. From the moment we started, her energy, humor, and genuine passion for Peruvian food and culture made the experience both fun and engaging. She is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the neighborhood, the food, and Peruvian traditions along the way. We especially appreciated how thoughtfully the tour was modified for vegetarians. Every tasting was delicious, well-chosen, and representative of the local food scene. Sheyla’s personality really sets her apart — she’s funny and warm. If you’re looking for a food tour that’s informative, delicious, and genuinely enjoyable (especially if you’re vegetarian), this is the one to book. Highly, highly recommend!
I absolutely loved my Ultimate Peruvian Food tour with Valeria and Exquisito Peru! It was my first tour of my visit to Lima and it did not disappoint! I had such a good time with all members of my tour group and Valeria was just a wonderful soul to chat with and learn from! I definitely recommend this tour and I hope to take at least one more before my holiday is over! Ceviche and Passion Fruit juice (A non-alcoholic option for Pisco Sour) were my favorite! Is this tour enough to get you full? Yes and no! Depends really! If you are a lighter eater then yes, definitely! If you are like me then you may still be able to eat a bit more! Haha. But I was still contented with the portions that were served! :) Thank you Valeria for all of your kindness and information about Peruvian culture! And over 2000 Potatoes! Haha Cheer and Happy Holidays!! :-)
