We had a brilliant food tour in Lima with Miguel. He was very knowledgable about Lima and took us to some brilliant places to eat which were local and off the beaten track which meant we saw a different side to Lima that wasn't just the tourist areas. We'd fully recommend this tour!

I had THE best time in Peru, even though it was a short trip. Thank you to Travel Buddies for helping me organise my stay and tours. From the first to last contact, everything was perfect.

Una experiencia inolvidable. Nuestra experiencia con Travel Buddies Perú ha sido excelente, y los recomendamos de todo corazón. Desde el primer momento, Brandon y todo el equipo estuvieron pendientes de nosotros, ayudándonos con cada detalle y asegurándose de que todo saliera bien. Lo que más valoramos fue su disponibilidad y paciencia: estuvieron ahí para ayudarnos con cualquier cosa, respondieron a todas nuestras preguntas (¡incluso cuando nos poníamos un poco pesados! 😅) y siempre lo hicieron con amabilidad, cercanía y una gran disposición. Durante todo el viaje nos sentimos acompañados y tranquilos, sabiendo que podíamos contar con ellos si surgía cualquier duda o imprevisto. Y eso marca una enorme diferencia cuando estás viajando por un país nuevo. Nos llevamos recuerdos maravillosos de Perú, de su historia, su cultura y su gente. Ha sido una experiencia tan bonita que ya estamos pensando en volver 🇵🇪❤️ ¡Gracias, Brandon, y gracias a todo el equipo de Travel Buddies Perú por hacer que este viaje fuera tan especial! Sin duda, volveríamos a confiar en vosotros.

Muito legal o passeio. Só tinha eu e foi bom, mais atenção do guia e no meu ritmo. É bem cansativo, mas vale a pena. Foram cerca de 4h de passeio.

We did a walking food tour around Miraflores as part of our honeymoon and it was excellent! Miguel was an amazing, fun and chatty host, and it was very good value for money as we tried lots of new food. A great way to spend a morning.

I spent a wonderful day in Lima with Patricia Montoya as my guide, and she truly made the city come alive. Her knowledge is impressive: at the Larco Museum she guided me through centuries of pre-Columbian history with depth and clarity, pointing out details I would never have noticed on my own. At Huaca Pucllana, she brought the ancient Lima culture to life, helping me understand how this remarkable adobe pyramid still stands in the middle of modern Miraflores. Beyond her expertise, Patricia is a genuine pleasure to be with. She is warm, attentive, and easygoing, with a natural way of sharing stories that made the day feel personal rather than scripted. She listened to my questions, adjusted the pace to suit me, and made me feel completely welcome. A special thank-you as well to my driver, Mr. Giancarlos, who was professional, punctual, and kind throughout the day. He navigated Lima's traffic calmly and safely, and his courteous manner added to a seamless experience. I recommend Patricia and Mr. Giancarlos without hesitation to anyone visiting Lima. They made my day both enriching and truly enjoyable.
