Welcome to Lima! I'm Jorge, and for more than 20 years I've had the privilege of introducing travelers from around the world to Peru. But I don't believe a great private tour is simply about visiting landmarks. It's about understanding the stories behind them, tasting the flavors, meeting the people, discovering unexpected places and experiencing the city through the eyes of someone who calls it home. Over the years, I've shared Peru with travelers from more than 29 nationalities, especially visitors from the United States, creating experiences that combine history, culture, gastronomy and genuine human connection. My tours are private, flexible and never meant to feel scripted. Whether we're exploring Lima's historic center, discovering the bohemian streets of Barranco, tasting ceviche and pisco, or uncovering the mysteries of ancient Pachacamac, my goal is always the same: For you to leave Peru with stories worth telling. Come as a traveler. Leave with a friend in Peru. Peru is not just a destination. It's an experience.

Don't just taste Peruvian food. Learn the stories behind it — and make it yourself. Discover Lima through its flavors, history and people on a private experience designed for travelers who want more than sightseeing. Start at a traditional local market and discover the ingredients and flavors behind Peru's world-famous cuisine. Then enjoy a private hands-on masterclass with a chef and bartender, where you'll prepare authentic ceviche and causa and learn to make Peru's iconic Pisco Sour. After enjoying a delicious Peruvian lunch, explore Lima's UNESCO-listed Historic Center. Walk through Plaza San Martín and Plaza Mayor, see Lima Cathedral and historic churches, and hear the stories that shaped the city. Depending on opening hours and your interests, we can also visit cultural landmarks such as the House of Peruvian Literature or the BCR Museum. More than a food tour. More than sightseeing. Taste, cook and discover Lima like a local.
Given the hectic traffic and confusion of a city with few thorough, having a knowledgeable guide and driver gave me a one-day experience that I couldn't have done in three days by myself. Jorge was courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and willing to adapt the tour to my particular interests. I learned so much about the city and its culture and the visit to a food market and fine restaurant with several one-on-one food experiences were delightful. I highly recommend Jorge!!!
Jorge was probably one of the best Tours by Locals I have ever toured with...our tour was exactly what we were looking for in a food tour of the city...Jorge took us to wonderful places to taste the most authentic foods of Lima...it was a very special day...he was patient, knowledgable and had a wonderful personality...everything was perfect...cannot wait to come back to Lima to tour with Jorge again...thank you...
We really enjoyed this special tour. Having a restaurant close it's doors so they can teach 2 people how to make Causa de Pollo, Ceviche, and Pisco Sours was a very great feeling. The chef and crew had all of the ingredients in place and made it very easy for us to follow and learn. Our guide Jorge was very excited to show us around his city and give us a taste of the food and the history of Peru. The only downside was the terrible traffic in the city center. Luckily, we also had a driver who concentrated on the road while Jorge gave us a lot of information. Good job all around. I highly recommend this tour.
