Top 4 Lima Market Tours

1.Historic Center Street Food, Market, and Eateries Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 216 reviews · 4 hours · from $69Our pick

Join Marcos, Aura, Valeria, or another English-speaking guide for four hours of Lima history and street food. You’ll visit Mercado Central, Chinatown, Plaza Mayor, and local eateries while tasting anticuchos, chilcano, churros, picarones, fruit, and other Peruvian favorites.

“We really enjoyed the tour! It was the perfect mix of trying foods and learning some history and culture. The places we went to were ones we never would have found on our own and all the foods were delicious. Our guide Marcos was very knowledgeable and helpful! The only thing I would have changed is that the tour is heavy on dessert foods. We had small portions of the savory foods and then had a big churro & full picaron (donut). I would have maybe had a full tamal and shared a churro. But if you love sweets you will be happy, and of course everything was tasty!”
