I really enjoyed the tour. In the end, I was the only person who participated, so I basically had a private tour. I really enjoyed it the guide Bruce is a really intelligent person who knows so much about so many things. I was really surprised.

This was a good tour with some interesting information that aimed to balance the "formal" history taught at museums and on standard walking tours with some real-world stories and more esoteric or controversial subjects. However, I would say that the tour felt rushed, finishing promptly on time after 1:45, and there wasn't really time for going into questions from the group or delving more deeply into the variety of topics covered. I'd have preferred to skip the ice cream tasting and have more time for discussion!

Response from Lima Spicy
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for recognizing what we are trying to do with this experience. We truly appreciate all the positive things you mentioned, especially your interest in the more anthropological, philosophical, and sometimes controversial aspects of Lima’s history and society. The ice cream stop actually plays an important role in the structure of the tour. Since we explore many heavy or thought-provoking subjects, we intentionally include a lighter and more sensory moment to create balance, while also supporting what we genuinely believe is the best ice cream spots in Barranco. (BLU) At the same time, we completely understand your point. Many of the topics discussed could easily lead to another hour of debate, questions, and deeper discussion. In fact, part of our mission is not necessarily to give definitive answers, but to leave people with curiosity, questions, and motivation for their own reflection and research afterward. One challenge with group tours is that extended philosophical or political discussions may not be equally engaging for every participant, especially within a limited schedule. However, if you ever return to Lima, you could absolutely arrange a private experience with the guide focused more deeply on discussion, debate, and analysis of the themes mentioned, while also recognizing the additional time and preparation involved. Ironically, despite being a 4-star review, this may genuinely be one of the best compliments we have received so far, because it tells us you wanted even more from the experience. Thank you again for sharing your perspective with us.

Had an awesome time with Bruce as my food tour guide. He met us and took us on the local bus to outside the ultra-touristy area to local joints with delicious, Peruvian food. The food included local street food as well as Amazonian cuisine. Bruce was entertaining, passionate, very informative about the culture and history of Peru, and treated us like friends that he was showing around his neighbourhood - lots of places that you wouldn’t know to find as a gringo. Would recommend 100%
