Explore San Pedro Market, cook three Peruvian dishes, mix two pisco cocktails, and take home recipes in this four-hour Cusco class.
“This excursion was very interesting and fun at first, with the San Pedro market tour! I definitely learned a lot. I did feel like the market tour and the cooking classes were very long altogether. I was definitely ready to go home after. It would have been nice to actually have individual burners and learn how to cook each meal. It felt very school like with us passing around bowls of ingredients and putting them in our station. Definitely hands off. Oh, and not to mention one of the European guys in our group kept sniffing the bowl of food that we used for our ingredients :/.”

“This is a wonderful food tour! So much great good, there is no way we could eat everything. Our guide, Giovana, was fabulous! She taught us so much about Lima during the tour. She went out of her way to spend time and talk to each of us personally during the tour. We especially loved that she purchased several fruits from the market that most of us had never seen or heard of, then cut them up and let us sample each of them. This tour was such a good value. We take a food tour in most of the cities we visit, and this was one of the best!”
Make chocolate from cacao bean to bar in Cusco, learn Peru’s cocoa story, taste chocolate drinks, and take home your own creations.
“A fun activity, very knowledgeable and friendly guide, going through the process of chocolate making. Finally, they give you 120 grams of hot chocolate (of the least quality) and one can prepare its desireable flavors with some options available. *** Charging $38+ for this activity is way beyong its value. We found that direct booking in the provider website would cost $25 (i. e., Viator charges 50%! more). OUTRAGEOUS. *** We have some comments for improvement: 1- There was a continuous noise coming from the store next to the workshop room, we found it difficult to hear the guide. Must find a solution for that. 2- Place bar seats in…”
Review of Peru Hop’s 2-day Lima tour to Ballestas Islands, Huacachina, and a pisco vineyard, with practical costs, timing, and tips.
“This guy s simply a scam. And I will never use Viator again. They sell it as a two days trip. We called Viator to ask since accommodation is not offered where shall we spend the night they said you should book a hotel in Lima and we will be picked up day one and day 2 from Lima. We booked the hotel two night in Lima only to realize after we reached huacaccina that 1) we have to spend the night in huacaccina 2) no way we can go to Isco if we spend the night in Lima 3) the tour didn’t agree to return us to Lima. So…”
